How to Make and Store Dried Tomatoes
Sep 7th
For the final week of Preserve the Bounty hosted by Nourished Kitchen, Jenny asked us to take on sun-drying. I’ve got a glut of San Marzano tomatoes right now, so this challenge came at the perfect time.
Todd and Diane wrote about and photographed the process of making sun dried tomatoes so beautifully a few weeks [...]

Gluten-Free Plum and Blueberry Custard Tart
Sep 2nd
Two nights ago at 11:20 pm, I did something kind of spontaneous and not terribly well thought out (ok, not thought out at all).
I signed up for a month-long locavore challenge that started yesterday: September 1st. I figured that I already eat quite a lot of local food and this wouldn’t be that hard for [...]

iHerb Shopping Spree Giveaway
Aug 31st
When Abby from iHerb asked me if I’d like to go on a $50 shopping spree and then offer an additional shopping spree to one of my readers, I decided to turn her down.
Just kidding :)
Of course I said “YES”… iHerb carries over 19,000 products! They’ve got herbal supplements, cosmetics and personal care items that [...]

Nectarines in Spiced Rum Syrup
Aug 29th
It’s Week 4 of The Nourished Kitchen’s Preservation challenge and Jenny asked us to use the “time-honored tradition” of preserving summer’s bounty in alcohol.
Preserving in alcohol works very well with fruit, and I’ve successfully used this technique before. One of my favorite recipes for doing so is Nigella Lawson’s Figs in Rum Syrup, a simple [...]

Cold Curried Rutabaga Soup with Jaggery
Aug 27th
I’m growing rutabagas this year.
The strange thing is, I have no recollection of planting them.
One day a couple of weeks ago, I was out in my garden and spied a nice row of greens. Upon further investigation, I discovered that said greens were attached to some very large roots. Rutabagas! Clearly I put the [...]

Tomato Ginger Jam
Aug 25th
I was thrilled when tomato season came early to my garden this year. I took the picture below in late July, weeks earlier than I’ve harvested tomatoes in the past.
The downside? August isn’t over and my harvest has pretty much petered out. I’ve still got another bunch of San Marzanos ripening and lots of cherry [...]

Preserving in Vinegar
Aug 23rd
It’s Week 3 of Preserve the Bounty and Jenny challenged us to use vinegar as a preservation medium.
I love preserving in vinegar. Vinegar is an acid, and acids have the ability to draw out minerals. If you add some vinegar in the liquid when you make stocks with bones, this will help bring [...]

Greek Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes and Purslane
Aug 19th
I recently read the Greece issue of Saveur Magazine from cover to cover. The stories, the photos, and the recipes were so compelling that my immediate reaction upon finishing was to run to the computer to find out how much it was going to cost me to get to Greece.
Sadly, I can’t afford that [...]

Anise Hyssop and Honey Poached Peaches and Cape Gooseberries
Aug 18th
I’ve had herb poached peaches on my mind since I saw this lovely recipe.
I mentioned that I planned to try poaching peaches in anise hyssop tea last week; local peaches have been spectacular this year, so I was eager to give this a try.
I decided to add cape gooseberries because I’d purchased them from the [...]

Basil Preserved in Olive Oil
Aug 16th
For week 2 of Preserve the Bounty, Jenny challenged us to preserve some of our summer produce in oil or another fat.
I’ve put together various combinations of garden-fresh herbs, calendula (marigold) flowers, sun-dried tomatoes, and chile peppers in olive oil before, and I really enjoyed the results. Allowing these foods to steep in a [...]

Cortido (Salvadoran Sauerkraut)
Aug 8th
Cortido (aka curtido) is a variation on sauerkraut that hails from El Salvador. It is typically served in that country alongside a dish called pupusas.
I enjoy “regular” sauerkraut well enough (I’ve blogged about it before: here and here), but was looking for something else to make with my homegrown cabbage in honor of the Preserve [...]

Lavender-Honey Ice Cream
Aug 6th
I’ve been wanting to make this Lavender-Honey Ice Cream from The Perfect Scoop ever since I got the book last summer. David Lebovitz’ recipes are always fabulous, and this one turned out to be no exception.
I don’t use the word “revelation” very often (or ever), but that’s what tasting this ice cream was for me. [...]
