I had such a great time at the CitySeed Wooster St Farmer’s Market this past weekend! I was making a chilled cucumber soup with a radish salad…yum. Everyone really seemed to like it-I was running back and forth to some of the stands to get more ingredients. You all know how I feel about Farm-to-Table…and you [...]

How to cook with farmers market produce
Posted in farmers market on August 21st, 2009
Now this is what I’m talking about! I found a great article in the Los Angeles Times about the complexities of cooking with produce from the farmer’s market.

In case you didn’t get to see Jan Ellen Spiegel’s article in the New York Times, she tagged along with me to the CitySeed Downtown Farmer’s Market to get to know the Market Menu a little more. “You’d think something as common as chicken would be causing a lot less stress for Ms. Appel, chef [...]

Happy end of summer
Posted in farmers market, new menu items, ZINC New Haven on August 21st, 2008
I really hate to see the summer leave but I do love vegetables and products that become available this time of the year. The summer markets are in full harvest. As usual we’ve changed menu and we are smack in the middle of summer freshness. I know I am repeating myself…but this is my favorite [...]

It’s that time of the year again!
Posted in farmers market, sustainable food on May 30th, 2008
I love spring and summer. From the trees growing to the flowers blooming…and best of all…the fresh vegetables growing! I know I’ve mentioned before how I grew up in Gram’s garden. But this seeing my garden start to grow just always makes me smile. My garden isn’t the only one starting to produce either. CitySeed [...]
