So while we are still very early in the season at the Farmer's Market, I am already loving what I can find. Spinach and Arugula. Sprouts and Shoots. Mushrooms. Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes. Beets. And so much more. It just makes me want to eat better!4

Morning produce friends! 🌞
Behold, my first chayote. ☺️ Saw these at the grocery store and I’m about to attempt to cook it.
On Google - there is debate re ~~ to peel or not to peel.
What say you?

@SafariGalNYC Here in Louisiana, we call those mirlitons. I don't peel them. We use them a lot with seafood like shrimp and oysters.3

Looking forward to these tonight…
Peacock purples from California … or so the sign said at the grocery store. Unsure if it’s a varietal or just marketing.
They had me at purple though. ☺️

Does this count as produce? 😊☺️
Our Grenache blanc is looking good this year.

Why wouldn't it count as produce?
If I make carrot ginger cashew soup (and I'm going to do that today), it's made from produce. If you crush grapes and let 'em sit around in a vat for a while... Same deal.5 -

Good point 💡 👍🏻 I was being a little tongue 😜 in check since they are wine grapes.
These guys need to ripen a bit before we can make vino.2 -
They need to ripen A LOT.0

I have a new easy method for Szechuan aubergine salad. Remove stem. Cut into logs about one third in length and soak in acidulated water for a minute or two, turning to coat. This step preserves the purple colour of the skin. Cook two minutes on high in the microwave. Cut into thin batons, drizzle with vinegar, soy and a pinch of sugar. Heat up two tablespoons of neutral vegetable oil with chopped green onion and a clove of minced garlic. Pour hot oil over the salad. Garnish with coriander.

Those aubergines look wonderful!1 -
Just a pretty dragonfruit for breakfast.

I can't take credit for this very nice salad, because I had it at a recently-opened local restaurant . . . but I definitely enjoyed it. They called it a farro salad, so I expected it to have a lot of the grain. It had a pleasant amount, but it was veggie-heavy. Described on the menu as shredded broccoli, cabbage, roasted corn, pepitas, red onions, dried cranberries, baby arugula, marinated tomatoes, and feta cheese, with champagne vinaigrette. And farro, of course. I took a chance and ordered the dressing tossed in vs. on the side: Good call. I forgot to put something in there for scale, but you can see the base of a standard wine glass (pinot grigio ) near the top left and the tines of my fork top right, to give you an idea. It was a big platter of salad, pretty heaped. Not cheap, but yum, yum, yum. I'll have this again for sure, when feeling flush.

Another aubergine salad. This one is has a more charcoal depth of flavour but is not as pretty. It is a Vietnamese version and has a similar scallion oil dressing as the Szechuan aubergine salad I made a couple of days ago.
Prick an aubergine with a fork in several places and air fry 20 minutes until soft. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into chunks. Sprinkle some nuoc cham on top. Have a handful of diced green onion, a minced clove of garlic and a pinch of dried chillis on hand. Heat up a tablespoon of neutral vegetable oil until very hot, remove from heat and stir in the green onion mixture. Pour hot oil over the eggplant.

Some namul I shared with a girlfriend as a starter at our Korean lunch. I sometimes do somethiing similar at home with small quantities of different veggies lingering at the bottom of the fridge. Grate or spiralize larger root vegetables. Blanch by soaking a minute or two in boiling water from the kettle, then squeeze out excess water. Dress each vegetable with vinegar, salt, sugar, soy, hot sauce, sesame oil, or some combination.

I've been slowed down by a knee injury, but your gorgeous picture has inspired me to get back in the kitchen for some slicing and dicing!2 -

We took my husband's mother out to a Korean BBQ lunch on Sunday. She had never done it before. We had a lot of fun introducing her to all of the amazing banchan included with the meal!3
