As rhubarb and strawberries make their springtime debut on blogs across the Northern Hemisphere, I know that my Porcini Squash Soup does not sound very timely…but I promise you there is good reason for this soup to appear on my blog. Firstly, this soup is delicious! It is rich, creamy and hearty, and makes me […]

Santa Fe Farmers Market
Friday, September 30th, 2011
Fall at the Santa Fe Farmers Market is definitely a time of abundance. The smell of roasting chiles wafting from every corner, the first of the apples popping up from local farms, and the last of the gorgeous heirloom tomatoes of the season. The rich bouquets of dahlias and cosmos are reminders of the beautiful […]

Review – Real Food Nation
Sunday, February 6th, 2011
I first heard about Real Food Nation from a friend who caught wind of a place in Santa Fe that makes their own gluten-free buns for their burgers… That was exciting! As many readers know, it is a rare occasion to find a restaurant that actually makes their own gluten-free substitutions so this was not […]

La Fierucola
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010
La Fierucola and La Fierucolina occur once per month (respectively) in the city of Florence. These markets are like a festival for organic foods, baked goods, fair trade products and artisanal creations.

La Fierucola a Firenze
Monday, October 5th, 2009

This is the organic market that comes to Florence 2 times a month in different parts of the city displaying the splendors of the Tuscan hillsides. It features both artisan crafts, as well as organic produce, oils, jams, wines, and baked goods, and is […]
