In honor of my daughter starting her doctorate of physical therapy program at Boston University, instead of challah, I made Scali Bread this week. Scali bread (1 loaf is a Scala, rhymes with challah) is an Italian bread popular in the Boston area. This was one of the nicest doughs I have ever worked with…

Lemon-Caramelized Jerusalem Artichokes
One last Jerusalem artichoke recipe until next winter’s harvest. It always amazes me how well these root vegetables last when they are cleaned and stored in a refrigerator. I have roasted the Jerusalem artichokes several ways, but the approach here was a new one that I am very pleased with. Before roasting, the Jerusalem artichokes…
Orecchiette with Tomato Sauce with Kale and Mushrooms
Groundhogs don’t seem to like curly kale. Or at least my groundhog doesn’t. When it ate every other green in my garden, it left the curly kale. We not have the electric fence protecting the other greens, but the kale has been growing all along. I had some mushrooms in the fridge (a local food here…
Collard Green and White Bean Khoresh
What do you get when you take a tagine and give it a persian twist? A khoresh that is both healthy and…extremely flavorful!! Collard greens are something I never tasted until I grew them in my garden a few years ago. I guess that is because they are often prepared with ham or bacon, foods…
Caramelized Onion Tart
What’s there not to like about caramelized onions? And really, what’s not to like about baking them into a tart, especially with Farmer Kim’s fresh eggs? We had larger pieces of tart for dinner last night and I had a small piece for breakfast this morning. It was a savory, tasty treat for both meals. My…
Pasta with Escarole
It has been an awful spring for my garden, so cold and rainy. Only a few things are doing well, among them is the escarole. I have a nice row of heads growing. They are small but they are healthy. I have a few very different recipes I want to try with the escarole –…
Spinach & Potato Frittata
I am finally harvesting some spinach from the garden!! Spring must actually be here (even if the sun hasn’t made an appearance yet). It has been a frustrating spring. First, the groundhog came back and ate all the greens I planted (except spinach, he doesn’t like spinach). Then I put up a solar powered electric…
Mediterranean Style Quiche
While I wait for my garden to start producing this year I still have sun-dried tomatoes from my garden and eggs from Farmer Kim. These tomatoes were in my fridge, so the oil has solidified a bit. That is fine, it will melt and be quite useful when the tomatoes are cooked. Perhaps a more…
Creamy Sunchoke & Asparagus Soup
After many nights of heavy Passover foods, I was craving soup. Plus, I had stopped at one of our local orchards on my drive home from a client meeting and picked up some just-picked asparagus. Asparagus and my Jerusalem artichokes…a happy combo! The soup looks rich and tastes rich, but is so light and healthy!…
Lemon-roasted Jerusalem Artichokes and Potatoes
Although I did a lot of cooking and baking for our Passover Seder, only one ingredient came from my garden (other than my dried herbs) – my good ole Jerusalem artichokes. Roasted with some baby yukon potatoes and lemon, it made a really tasty side dish. I decided to go with roasted vegetables since I already was making…
