In the June 2009 issue of Food & Wine, Nate Appleman (of A16 and SPQR restaurants in San Francisco) recommends using mayonnaise-based marinades for grilling. Just a few pages later, Melissa Rubel ...
This dish might look a little ... familiar. We highlighted a similar gnocchi dish in last week's national food section roundup, and our recipe is sort of an improvised, pared down version. This was ou...
Why, exactly? Well, we have a few good reasons... ...
This is the first in our new series of guest posts from fellow bloggers and cooks. This first guest post comes from Leela Cyd. Welcome Leela! There is a certain, ahem, restaurant that resides in mall...
Chicago's Green City Market held its first outdoor market of the year today. Taking a brief stroll through the stalls – some already overflowing with early season produce – we felt ourselves breat...
Not necessarily, according to Harold McGee. For his "Curious Cook" column in The New York Times, he snapped 130 spears and found that, even after they were steamed, a third of those asparagus were sti...
As die-hard Hollywood farmers' market shoppers, we sometimes forget that there are nearly 100 other farmers' markets in LA County. While few of them match the spectacular size and selection of the Hol...
Rumor has it that there were some asparagus at the Union Square Greenmarket yesterday. (We read it on this handy website). Finally! Go buy some, then take a look at these 10 great recipes to show them...
While meandering the internets recently, I found several references to an odd but intriguing method of making pizza. The pizza is started on the stovetop using a very hot cast iron griddle or inverte...
We are great fans of Los Angeles chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, whose dishes are never fussy but always fresh and inspired. So when we received their April newsletter with a recipe for Bab...
Springtime is here! Finally, we can put away the cold of winter and welcome in the sun and fresh air. This is the time of the year for things like fiddlehead ferns, ramps, tender peas and shoots, an...
With apologies to everyone who got snow this weekend, but it is indeed spring here on the West Coast! The proof? Well, locally grown lilacs and asparagus at the farmer's market for starters. Lamb a...
In some parts of the country, asparagus are already popping up in the market; we know from this post that many of you are happily eating them right this very minute. Here in New York, the asparagus we...
Though the skies have been rather cloudy in LA these past couple of days, the scene at the Silver Lake farmers' market was bright and lively. There's still quite a bit of citrus, but between the crate...
Yesterday I went down to the Civic Center Farmer's Market hoping for a glimpse of spring. Several incredibly rainy weekends in a row have kept me away, so when Sunday dawned with partly cloudy skies,...
I have a bone to pick with Mark Bittman. I read his Minimalist column in the NY Times every week and usually love it. His recipes are smart and easy. Everyone here at the office loves him: his No Kn...
Yesterday we posted a recipe from the Los Angeles Times for bloody marys made with fresh tomatoes and garnished with pickled green beans. Since we've also been talking about pickling quite a bit la...
OK, OK - we know that the last asparagus of the season headed out of town a few weeks ago, which makes our lust for this recipe all the more cruel. ...
Asparagus season has just finished up in the Midwest, but we found one more bunch of fat spears at the market last week. And did we savor those spears this weekend! Here's how we cooked this precious ...
Here's a little Thursday fun. What do you prefer - peas or asparagus? Yes, yes - we know that we don't have to choose between them. They are gloriously in season right now, abundant in the farms and m...
We didn't make it to the store this weekend and had to scrounge a bit for something to eat at lunchtime yesterday. We started with a can of cannelloni beans from our pantry, rummaged through the frid...
Top Chef Chicago was our favorite season yet (OK, we're a little biased here in the Windy City). In fact, even one of the losing dishes inspired us. Remember episode 7, the Second City improv challe...
We went to the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market on Saturday and summer is in full swing here in San Francisco. Berries, stone fruits, and tomatoes have arrived!...
After two weeks away from our kitchen, we returned last week to find the market positively brimming with spring vegetables. When we'd left there were only the first signs of ramps, but now there was ...
We're ready to hit the Chicago farmer's markets this week and stock up on all the super-fresh local produce we've been craving since last fall. We'll most likely be bringing home as much as we can car...
