This is by far my most favorite soup. Ever. In the whole world. p.s. It’s not on your stupid diet… My favorite part of the recipe is that last line that reads, “Serve hot with a garnish of hot bacon.” Thank you, Ina. I know we could be pals. Photo: Pink Parsley Ina Garten’s Cheddar Corn …
Photo: Martha Stewart Celeriac (also known as celery root) is an ingredient that I would actually say I’m obsessed with…and it will be in season any minute.

One of my favorite food websites is The Kitchn. For a home cook like me, it is a great resource. I have already referenced this post about a dozen times to see if I’m storing my farmers market purchases properly! A Few General Guidelines Do Not Store Fruits and Vegetables Together. Fruits that give off high …
I love Waverly Market. I shop for my weekly groceries there every week and love seeing local chefs shopping from local farmers and purveyors. I go early and I usually see Chris Becker of the Bagby Restaurant Group and John Shields of Gertrude’s, talking with farmers, buying cases of fruit, vegetables, herbs and more. This makes …
If you’re like me, you love tomatoes. But not those tasteless ones you see at the grocery store in the dead of winter. No, I’m talking summer tomatoes. From Maryland. And they’re beginning to pop up at local farmers markets, roadside stands and maybe, in your very own garden. My friend Sean invited me a …
