Refreshing decadence! Not much more to say than that. Enjoy! Ok, there’s more to say. But mostly about the watermelon. Several years ago the Magee’s hired me to help them apply to use an historic farm property for a farm market and u-pick. We were successful and over the past few years they have built…

Kuku-ye Kadoo (Persian Zucchini Omelet)
Italians have their frittata, Spaniards have tortillas, and Persians have kukus. They are all similar, yet distinct from each other. The kuku gets its flavor from saffron – which is ground with sugar and dissolved in hot water. My first introduction to the kuku was the second night during my first trip to Iran. It…
Crown of Roses Challah
My Challah Project has ended, but I am still enjoying trying to make new and different challah. Thank you to my cousin Bentzi for sending me the directions for this beautiful challah. The added treat was the dough, my new favorite for a standard challah. It was easy to work with, has a beautiful texture…
Khoresh-e Holu (Persian Peach and Chicken Stew)
There was a freeze this spring that hurt central Delaware’s peach harvest. But seemingly not so to the north and south of us. I was able to pick up some great peaches from Milburn Orchards in Elkton, MD. Some went into a salad at lunch time, some will be eaten ripe and juicy, but these…
Collard Green and Potato Hash with Poached Eggs
Collard greens are really good for you. They have both a cholesterol-lowering ability and cancer preventive properties. And they are growing beautifully in my garden this year. It has gotten hot over the past couple of weeks, so I think their season may soon be drawing to a close until the fall. So for their farewell…
Fettuccini with Corn and Tomatoes
I have two farmers that I buy sweet corn from, Freeman’s in Lewes and Filasky’s in Middletown. They are each heads and shoulders above any other corn I have ever had. Which I buy simply depends on whether I am in the southern or northern end of the state the day I am buying corn….
Zucchini Chips
Harvest time! Zucchini has started. Our first zucchini dish of the season was actually a request from my 7 year old – he wanted “those round things that are like potato chips, but you make them in the oven.” After trying to figure out what he was talking about, he said he thought they were…
Corn, Edamame & Tomatoes with Pasta and Basil Oil
If it was a little later in the season, all the vegetables except the corn would be from my garden. But I couldn’t wait that long, so the corn is from Preston, Maryland, the tomatoes from Highland Orchards, the edamame is frozen, but the scallions and basil ARE from my garden. This is such a…
Quinoa and Rice Bowl with Kale, Kimchi and Egg
The kale is going absolutely nuts in my garden! It is big, beautiful, and plentiful! The Russian kale is particularly healthy. I had thought the groundhog had killed most of the plants, so I planted more. Guess what, they are all producing now! We discovered rice bowls last year, and I especially like Korean rice…
Challah Project #22 – Raspberry Nutella Challah
The birds have been beating me to the raspberries on my bushes this year. I have gotten to eat about 4 raspberries. Oh well, win some lose some. We do have some very happy birds though. So, I have been getting my raspberries from Highland Orchards – the only local farm I know of who…
