Carrots Sweet Potato - An Autumn Freekeh PilafAs dinner approached one day this past weekend I realized that all I had in the house in the way of fresh vegetables was a bunch of (beautiful) Red Russian kale from what turned out to be my last visit of the year to the farmers' market. (I adm...

Pepitas Pumpkin - A Week Away with Friends...a Winter Squash Tart...and Pan-Roasted Chicken with Porchetta SauceOnce again this fall I had the joy of spending a week away with a group of dear friends. I have written of these getaways before...at a lake house on the shores of Lake Michigan...and at the home of a friend in the suburbs of Minneapolis. ...
- A November Surprise: Eggplant & Swiss Chard GratinIt is no secret that the whole country is having a warmer than usual autumn. Where I live, we have not even had our first freeze yet. I'm not sure I ever remember being this far into the month of November without having experienced at lea...
- Suzanne Goin's Roasted Pear Salad with Endive, Hazelnuts & St. AgurLast spring I started a new series of classes called "Inspired Cooking by the Book." The idea for this series came about because a small portion of my rather large cookbook collection is made up of books that are organized by the seasons. ...
- Chef Frank Stitt's Apple CrostataThe first time I tasted a fresh fruit crostata (sometimes called a galette or a free-form tart) was when I was a cook at The American Restaurant. A chef named Frank Stitt was there as part of a guest chef series. His menu included an Appl...
- Soup for a Cool Autumn Day—Yellow Split Pea with Autumn Squash & GreensA couple of posts back I wrote about the special foods that can be made during this curious bend in the year when late summer and early autumn produce occupy the same stalls at the farmers' market.

Pumpkin - Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Sweet Potatoes & CornThe market is in the process of turning the corner from summer into fall.

Mint Peaches - Summer Cobb SaladAugust got away from me. I had plans for more...not fewer...posts this month. But it was not to be. Now that I think about it, the whole summer has flown by. Perhaps yours has too. And here we are, approaching Labor Day...

Bell Pepper Tomatoes - A Simple Salad of Zucchini, Corn & Arugula with Lemon VinaigretteI have never understood why some people don't like leftovers. In my house, leftovers lead to the discovery of new favorites all the time. This summer, the presence of some leftover roasted corn kernels...and a leftover lemony vinaigrette.
- Savory Summer Galette with Ricotta, Vine-Ripened Tomatoes & Swiss ChardWe have been enjoying evening meals that feature Swiss chard at least once a week this summer. The chard at the farmers' market has been so beautiful that I have not been able to pass it up. I guess it's a good thing that chard is so vers...

Bing Cherries Pork Port - Summer Lasagne...with Swiss Chard, Corn Pesto & Italian SausageI never cease to be amazed at the serendipitous way in which a delicious recipe can come together.
