Last week, I had the unbelievable pleasure of joining Tanya Steel up at Stone Barns for an ABC News shoot with Dan Barber. If you aren’t familiar with Dan or Stone Barns, Dan is the Alice Waters of the East Coast aka the ringleader for local, seasonal eating here in the Big Apple. He has [...]

My mandolin gets a lot of use during the summer, especially when it comes to summer squash. I adjust it to the thinnest setting and slice away….there is something about those paper-thin pieces that make the squash taste extra delish.

His recently started Bay Area based company brings fresh produce and prepared meals to commuters who frequent the Hillsdale train station and shoppers in twelve grocery stores [...]

After traveling for almost a week, I was begging for fresh, homemade food the moment I walked through my front door late Sunday night. I had faced more artificially sweetened yogurt, CAFO raised meat, and highly processed snacks than I’d encountered in a long time. It’s not that I don’t see that stuff every time [...]
