Tour de Farm/Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner, Blogger Etiquette & Sweet Corn Panna Cotta: Part II
So…on to Part II and the pretty details of the Tour de Farm/Celebrity Chef Tour dinner. Despite the bumps in the evening (see Part I), it really was an amazing night. In fact, the whole weekend was a blast, starting on Friday night, when Joy Summers, Molly McNeil, and I stopped by Birchwood Cafe to…
Tour de Farm/Celebrity Chef Tour Dinner, Blogger Etiquette & Sweet Corn Panna Cotta: Part I
I inhaled the gorgeous plate of food above two weeks ago, which feels like two years ago, given that between now and then my mom had major emergency surgery and time has sped up and stopped both at the same time. It’s almost impossible to imagine that I was ever running around stunning Star Prairie…
Grilled Corn Salsa
Sweet is good, but salty-sweet is better. As Minnesota State Fair goers know, grilling makes corn even cornier, drying the kernels a bit and concentrating their flavor to sweet, chewy heaven. Sliced off the cob, tossed with crunchy onion, fresh cilantro, a squirt of lime – and salt of course! – this salsa is just…
Baked Lemon Pudding in the Hamptons
The day I arrived at my inlaws’ home in East Hampton, John’s dad made one of his famous dins, this time spinach souffles with rock shrimp sauce followed by braised beef short ribs with couscous. For dessert…this luscious lemon pudding. God I love lemon desserts – better than chocolate. Yeah, I just said that. The…
Crepes with Warm Blueberry Sauce
I bought the loveliest local blueberries at the market last week, as plump and pretty as as my Grandma Meyer. I got them home, popped a handful in mouth because I’m greedy, and was shocked to discover…sour! Oh so sour! So I dumped them into a saucepan with some (not too much) sugar and turned…
Tour de Farm Chicknic at Riverbend Farm, July 31, 2011
Sweaty, delicious partying is in full swing in Minnesota, whee! Given our short al fresco season, we are maniacal about eating outside, mosquitoes be damned. From food trucks to farmers markets, patios to farm dinners, food just tastes better in the hot sun. I’m personally full to bursting with beautifully prepared local food, courtesy of…
Foxy Falafel’s Herby Chicken Skewers with Cucumber Mint Yogurt Dipping Sauce
Every Sunday, Nathan and I eat our way through Kingfield Farmers’ Market. If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that one of our faves is Foxy Falafel. Erica Strait and her crew crank out the best falafel I’ve ever had. Made from sprouted chickpeas, perfectly crisp and fresh, the falafel is nestled atop…
Eat Ramen Help Japan
Do you know ramen? The “real” ramen, as in the national comfort food dish of Japan, made with fresh noodles, rich broth, and any number of savory toppings? If the only ramen you know is from your dorm room, then get thee to Eat Ramen Help Japan this coming Thursday at CREATE Catering in Minneapolis!…
July 4th: Red, White & Gluten-Free
July 2: John & I returned from Provence, France (post forthcoming, sometime in 2011, gah). July 3: I hit the Minneapolis Farmers Market, hard. Five racks of Bar 5 ribs; Blue Gentian Farm lamb chops, sausage, and eggs; many pounds of greens, carrots, beans, herb, berries, onions, garlic scapes, potatoes, and general fabulousness. Oh lovely…
Garlic Soup with a Fried Egg
Think of this soup as comfort food with a kick. The garlicky broth is mellow and sweet, ready and waiting to be made sublime with a fried egg (because a fried egg makes everything sublime…right). I added warmed sausage, white beans, and arugula because that’s what I had in the fridge (see recipe below). Simmer…
