Light Winter Salad and New Mexico Wine

by Chloé Mathieu Phillips & Dennis Phillips

This week’s bottle definitely is a special one. Not necessarily for its taste but rather for its provenance, New Mexico. Although this is the oldest wine growing region in the United States, few people know about it and New Mexican wines are quite rare on the east coast. Gruet, probably the most famous winery in

Growing Baby Lettuce

Goose Cove Gardens is one of Gloucester’s best treasures, a garden nursery with the healthiest plants and the nicest Karma.  Barbara, the lovely straw-hatted owner, is always protecting me from myself: “Do you really need five new Russian Sage, Heather?”
Ever the educators, Barbara and the ladies from Goose Cove Gardens are offering a midwinter course

Cheddar, Apple & Walnut Salad

Sometimes I look in my fridge and I feel like I got nothing. Some carrots, some ketchup, a jar of peanut butter but nothing that could make a pretty first course. I had put all my eggs in one basket; I spent the afternoon braising some beef short ribs in a mirepoix of vegetable goodness

Buttermilk Slaw

I abhor traditional cole slaw. I know that’s strong words for a simple shredded salad, but supermarket delis have really spoiled traditional cole slaw for me. It always tastes the same – too creamy, heavy and, well, just like a big tub of mayonnaise with a few, sparse veggies.
Today, I prepped burgers for some friends

Frisee, Radicchio & Pear Winter Salad

by Maggie Battista

I am so in love with Mark Bittman and his cooking escapades. I have all of his books, except the latest vegetarian one (hint, hint) and read his articles, recipes and blog posts regularly. Alas, he’s had other foodie-types posting on his blog as of late, which sometimes diverts my attention toward other foodie-type contributors

Crisp Fall Tablescape

by Maggie Battista

It’s Fall, finally and unfortunately. My trip to California extended Summer, but only by 10 days. The moment my flight landed in Boston, I could smell Fall. At my farm, the bins overflowed with squash, fennel and lettuce greens. While there, I got over stimulated by, totally shoved in my face and kicked in the

Grilled Fig & Arugula Salad at The Girl & The Fig

by Maggie Battista

The Girl & The Fig does many many things well. Besides charcuterie platters, cheese plates and even pumpkin cheesecake, this delightful dish is their signature salad. The photo depicts a sweet pile of arugula, pecans, goat cheese and figs mid-course. The husband and I had already devoured half of it, but it still looked so

Summer’s End Panzanella Salad

by Maggie Battista

Impromptu dinner parties are the best sort of dinner parties. It was six o’clock on a week night and my family was heading over for dinner and all I had was the same old chicken. I had a plan for the chicken. I knew I wanted to make my aunt’s famous Chicken Murphy. (Frankly, there

The New Camera and Garden Tomatoes

by Maggie Battista

I’m in the midst of breaking in the new camera over a Mozzarella & Swiss Chard Frittata and Garden Tomato Salad. The frittata is like all my other ones – a great mixture of eggs, cream, salt and pepper piled on top of sauteed vegetables. In this case, I cooked up some swiss chard and
