Summer of CSA: Homemade Pizza
We’re deep into the summer and the CSA rages on. But truthfully, I’m starting to get a bit fatigued with all the lettuce and squash of late. Envisioning a great panoply of summer veggies, the offering has (so far at least) seemed a little limited. On the bright side, this has forced me to be more creative in terms of veggie utilization. This week, I whipped up some homemade pizzas...

Ice Cream Takedown!
While the U.S. and Japanese Women’s soccer teams battled for World Cup domination, another fierce competition was heating up (or should I say trying to stay cold!), at the Bell House in Gowanus. It was an Ice Cream Takedown of epic lactose proportions, where 19 amateur ice cream makers went head to head. But there could only be one champion. Here were the ice creampetitors:

Street Food: Smorgasburg
Hoping to eat my way through all the various offerings at the Brooklyn Flea’s Smorgasburg this summer, I’m off to a strong start with a Cheese & Chorizo Pupusa from Solber Pupusas. The “Red Hook Platter,” a Salvadoran dish involving two cheese pupusas with pickled slaw, jalapenos, and crema, served with chorizo and caramelized onions hits every note…crunchy,...
Summer of CSA: Radicchio Risotto
It’s the summer of the farm share, my first. Each week brings with it a surprise helping of fresh veggies, some of which I’ve never tasted, let alone cooked with before. They’re trucked in from Lineage Farms, in upstate New York.
It’s a lesson in the seasonal comings and goings of crops. So far it’s been mostly greens…lettuces to be specific; Green leaf, red...
