		<title>Being Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Lately I&#8217;ve been in body purification mode. With spring on the horizon (Mother Nature, I trust that the glorious weekend of weather we just had was not a one-night stand) I&#8217;ve been eating more vegetarian meals, here, here and here.
I&#8217;ve cut out booze for a few weeks and I&#8217;m even considering a week-long detox diet [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Life Gives You Lemons&#8230; Make Chicken Piccata!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s probably apparent by now that I tend to favor tangy, bright, acidic flavors. I&#8217;m sure, in fact, that those very words would loom large in a tag cloud of my posts. I love the spritzy, mouth-filling tingle of the lemony, the vinegary, and the just plain puckery.
Chicken Piccata is one of my favorite ways [...]]]></description>

		<title>Put An Egg on It: Cabbage and Egg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The inspiration for this dish comes from my friend John, a vegetarian. We both love cabbage (savoy cabbage, please) sauteed with olive oil, salt and pepper. For me, it&#8217;s an ideal complement (especially red cabbage) to roast pork or chicken. In one of Alice Waters&#8217; cookbooks, she makes a version of sauteed cabbage with duck fat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Begone, Infidel Dips: Homemade Hummus with Za&#8217;atar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was chatting yesterday with a friend who was complaining of a stomachache after lunching on baby carrots (*argh*) and hummus with caramelized onions from WF. After my initial reaction&#8211;&#8221;duh&#8221;, followed closely thereafter by &#8220;eew&#8221;&#8211;I suggested that perhaps caramelized onions were not necessarily a boon to the world of hummus. But then, it seems that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lent Part II: Rockfish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s my second Lenten Fish Installment: Rockfish (or Striped Bass) is an Atlantic Ocean, anadromous fish (What you call me?) meaning it lives mostly in the ocean but breeds in fresh water.  It&#8217;s a lovely fish, delicate in flavor, taste and flake. The folks over at Seafood Watch have blessed the consumption of this fish. [...]]]></description>

		<title>FMC Mushrooms: Pasta, Risotto-Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My contribution to the latest Passion Fruits Farmers&#8217; Market Challenge. Sad to report, despite the gorgeous array of mushrooms I plucked from the market, I wasn&#8217;t very inspired this week in the kitchen and&#8211;pathetically&#8211;failed to give these beauties some solo prime time a la Luke. It&#8217;s been a crazy week at work and as impressive [...]]]></description>

		<title>FMC Mushrooms: Saute Simply for a Scintillating Supper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, after the cardoon challenge (*FAIL*), and the sunchoke challenge (*toot*), I was so relieved to open Joe&#8217;s bag to see an array of mushrooms. And not, you know, tree bark or bee larvae or clods of dirt or something. These were lovely specimens too&#8230; cremini, oyster, chanterelle, and a few others I couldn&#8217;t identify. Trusting Joe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take a Spin with this Spinach-Merguez Spiraled Pork Roast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With its moist and toothsome whirl of spinach and spicy merguez stuffing, this pork roast makes a lovely and delicious Sunday supper. This shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise, as it is inspired by the stuffed leg of lamb in Suzanne Goin&#8217;s Sunday Suppers at Luques. The lamb is all big flavor and one of my favorite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farmers&#8217; Market Challenge: &#8216;Yeah, man&#8230; Shrooms&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time for another installment of our Farmers&#8217; Market Challenge. The pickings continue to be slim at the market, though I did appropriate some beautiful rockfish which I&#8217;ll detail in a post next week. As both Challenge Cardoon and Challenge Sunchoke were both a little hard to swallow&#8211;or at least digest&#8211;I was desperate to find something neither [...]]]></description>
