Eating my share (07.28.12) – The Sweet & Savory Edition

Posted on 07/29/2012 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

I am not a big fan of masking vegetables. I remember when Jessica Seinfeld’s book, Deceptively Delicious, came out. I just scratched my head in wonder because you don’t have to deceive your kids to get them to like vegetables (amazing what salt, pepper and a bit of olive oil can do there… not to … Continue reading →

Why Costco Is Part Of The Problem

Posted on 06/19/2012 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

I don’t want to slam the big box stores. Okay, yes, I do.

Welcome Tribeca CSA members! I’ve been asked to be the “official” blogger for the week, so I’m happy to be the representative of a CSA that has brought me so much inspiration (and challenge) these past two-plus years. This week’s share (at left, clockwise from bottom) was cilantro, peas, green leaf lettuce, mint, sage, red … Continue reading →
