Figs are treat all by themselves. But then you stuff them with Laura Chenel’s herbed goat cheese, sprinkle them with fresh cracked pepper and fleur de sel, and drizzle over a healthy pour of local honey and, well, you have my favorite late summer appetizer!

When I’m burnt out on all the summer pastas I keep tossing together, I try to mix it up with a farmer’s market salad. I truly mean a farmer’s market salad because every ingredient is straight from my Sunday pickin’s at the Marina Farmer’s Market.

My new go-to meal this summer includes some kind of conglomeration of summer veggies and fresh pasta, all procured from the farmer’s market blocks from my apartment. The one photographed above happens to be my favorite combination – corn, shaved zucchini and yellow squash. Oh, and chunks of mozzarella. So simple and so delicious.

I’m OBSESSED with Heidi Swanson’s new cookbook, Super Natural Every Day. While I haven’t even made a dent in terms of trying all the recipes, I’ve found time to make her delicious oat cakes on several occasions. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a little nutso for oats here at Farm & a Frying Pan [...]

Nothing says summer like a bright and cheery strawberry shortcake. I needed to prepare something for my friend’s birthday, so I followed Ina Garten’s recipe for a cake version of a strawberry shortcake. Doesn’t it look delightful?? It tasted even better than it looks.

This is a love letter to the New York Time’s Martha Rose, who wrote this amazing recipe for Beet Greens and Potato Hash.
Dear Martha,
I just want to thank you for coming up with such a clever and delicious recipe – that’s easy to boot! I say “clever” because you found a way to incorporate [...]
