They do it in France! Take a lesson from the French. They know some things about cooking and eating.
Hummus is wonderful to start with, but heating it up somehow transforms it into something magical. It is a perfect, comforting complement to roasted vegetables.
This post is all about eggplant. Currently it is under development, so not every section is filled in. But, the intention is to talk about eggplant varieties, how to select and store eggplant, and most importantly how to cook eggplant.
One bunch of radishes, including their greens is perfectly proportioned to star in an 8-egg frittata. Cooking radishes softens their texture and accentuates their sweetness, perfect to pair in an egg dish. Including their spicy greens is a great complement in this root to leaf dish.
The French get it. The lovely greens that top your bunch of radishes, they’re delicious too. Soupe aux Fans de Radis is one way the French utilize them. You should definitely give it a try!

This week we received tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, scallions and arugula.
A little char on green beans adds a ton of flavor. Giving them that char, while cooking them through is an easy exercise in a skillet, if you know just a few tricks.
This is a delicious roasted red pepper puree which, like any pesto, uses nuts, aged cheese, garlic, olive oil and salt.
The Elysian Fields Farm CSA is back in action after their August break. This week we received tomatoes and peppers, fairy tale eggplant, red onions and a nice butternut squash.
Basil, Parmigiano Reggiano, pine nuts, garlic, salt and really good olive oil. How could pesto not be delicious? Traditionally, pesto is made with a mortar and pestle as a labor of love. A modern food processor makes it super quick and easy to whip up a delicious pesto.
Eggplant and sweet red peppers are a classic vegetable combination. Cooking eggplant until it’s “melted” transforms it into a luxurious pasta sauce. Enhance the melted eggplant and sweet red peppers with herbs and Parmesan, and you have a vegetarian, comfort filled delight.
