Add a notch to the spatula. Our recipe for “Pub Gougères with Anchovy and Cayenne” has been selected as a community pick on Food52 as part of their “meat as a flavoring” contest. Anchovies give this riff on traditional cheese gougères a bistro-pub feel and a bold taste. Salty, spicy and savory, these are best […]

Like many people, I’ve just cottoned on to the greatness of The Hunger Games. It is a world where districts are dominated by their isolation from one another, where the only information that passes is what can be gleaned from the censored broadcasts of the games. This rolls two forms of oppression into one, combining […]

Simple suppers, moosewood style, is probably where cooking started for us a few years back. So, there’s a special place in my heart for that really simple, really tasty, quick fix. This takes a […]

Seed Savers has been our go-to seed buying option recently, but I’ve just come across and am totally curious about the Hudson Valley Seed Library because a) library!? and b) their frameable, local-artist-designed seed packs remind me a whole lot of Dixit, also a new favorite thing. I’m glad to see they’re working so hard […]

We have leftover cannellini beans so we’re going to try and turn these into baked beans with the pancetta we cured a while back. Navy beans and salt pork are more typical, I think? But: go, go leftovers!
