One Local Summer #7: Greenpoint Greens
This weekend I decided to take a trek out to the rooftop farm that everyone is talking about. (Yes, even though it's probably the most local my food could get without stealing from a neighbor's tomato patch, it's still...
One Local Summer #6: Pork Chop!
This week's local meal was a free-range pork chop from Wilklow Orchards, steamed baby artichokes, and corn on the cob. Everything was purchased at the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket. Nothing exotic, but quite tasty. I would say that it...
One Local Summer #5: Have local snacks, will travel

One Local Summer #13: Braised Lamb
I am sad to say this marks the last official One Local Summer post. I'll be continuing to eat a lot of local foods and post about them, though! This week I made a recipe from The Herbfarm Cookbook:...
One Local Summer #12: Kefta Mkaouara
Tonight's dinner marks the beginning of my personal recipe challenge. As I mentioned before, I use plenty of recipes for baking and special occasions, but in my day-to-day cooking, I often operate on habit and instinct. This makes for...
