Real Food from a Small Island: Saturday Market
http://www.realfoodfromasmallisland.com/2010/08/saturday-market.html
There are days when I feel like pinching myself - I'm so lucky to live in a place like this. I went to the market on Saturday with my camera and was thrilled to see so many people there. It was Wine Festival day and many people had arrived at the venue early to do some shopping before the serious drinking began. The balance between produce,. Saturday, August 14, 2010.

Real Food from a Small Island: September 2010

There's nothing like a year-long mystery illness to make you appreciate the simple things in life. These days I find myself feeling grateful for everything - cooking a meal, hanging the laundry, baking a loaf of bread, or pulling a few weeds in the garden all seem like small miracles. The chicken stew I cooked last week is a good case in point. The ingredients were simple: free-range chicken, onions, garlic, celery, carrots, rutabaga, potatoes and a few herbs - and that's it. With some market vegetables ...

Real Food from a Small Island: "There's-been-a-run-on-pumpkin!" Sweet Potato Pie
http://www.realfoodfromasmallisland.com/2010/10/theres-been-run-on-pumpkin-sweet-potato.html
One of the minor irritations of living on an island is shopping for specific items. With only a couple of small grocery stores you never really know what's going to be available so it's pretty pointless to go shopping with a list. In the summer I see city people wandering through the market looking increasingly desperate as they realize that they won't be able to find the smoked paprika and bomba. Rice they need for their paella. Sweet Potato, Maple, and Coconut Pie with a Pecan Crust. Heat the oven to 4...

Farmers' Market and a Simple Supper in Parchment. This year I decided not to have a stall at the farmers' market. I literally burned myself out last summer - I caught some sort of a strange virus in August that I'm still recovering from. The doctors (I saw about a dozen) were never able to determine what it was and most of them said helpful things like, "You'll probably. Get better." or "This thing should. A sprinkling of fresh parsley was all that was needed for a final touch. It tasted like the ess...

Real Food from a Small Island: Bittersweet September

There were plenty of cheerful kids around,too. We fired up the oven for pizza and I taught a French friend's daughter how to make pate a choux. I didn't do much preserving this year but some gorgeous yellow plums from a neighbour's tree went into a dozen or so jars of plum and vanilla jam. I'm feeling energized and optimistic and looking forward to returning to blogging after a break of almost a year. La vita e veramente bella! Monday, September 19, 2011. Feed You can leave a response.

I love duck. To me a duck is a bit like a pig with wings; the meat is incredibly versatile, delicious beyond belief, and every single morsel is usable. In Anthony Bourdain's most recent book, Medium Raw,. He talks about how chefs love to play the "Last Meal Game". My last meal would be crisply-fried duck confit with a side of pommes sarladaises. Duck fat-fried potatoes tossed with chopped garlic and fresh parsley). The most difficult part of this process is having the confidence to make the first cut....

A Micaceous Clay Pot and Some Damn Good Beans. Last September we took a trip to Santa Fe and I became obsessed with buying a micaceous clay pot. I had read an article about them in New Mexico. Finding an affordable pot, however, proved to be a challenge. Micaceous clay objects are not cheap and well-crafted pots usually start at around $100 per quart. I finally found a three-quart pot while browsing around the galleries and artist studios in Madrid, New Mexico, for about $150. Is not one of the herbs I g...
