Life and thyme in a small floating kitchen
From the category archives:
Jerusalem artichokes are wonderful, knobby, difficult to clean tubers that are easy to find in the northwest this time of year at farmers markets. They are not artichokes (although they taste a bit like artichokes, hence the name and confusion) and they have no particular connection with Jerusalem (Italians called them Girasole, Italian [...]

Add this one to your post-holiday menus. It’s on ours. This is one of our favorite ways to prepare cauliflower, and after a week of complicated, heavy meals, this easy, slightly spicy food is just about right. It still has some richness due to the toasted nuts, but that’s offset [...]

We first made this recipe from the Feburary 2005 edition of Food & Wine at Thanksgiving a couple of years back. It was very well received and we’ve kept it on the rotation ever since. The manchego almond sauce here is a refreshing twist on your typical cream sauce, but it definitely still [...]

Early this spring, I begged Beryl to plant a couple warm climate plants like peppers and eggplants. She tried to convince me that ours is not a warm climate and they would probably just take up space, but I insisted that she try (I wanted to see what would happen). She eventually consented [...]

Berry season is tapering down just as corn is taking off, so this is a good time to share this recipe of fresh blueberries and roasted corn. We hope that you will like as much as we do. The richness of the salad depends on concentrating the sugar in the corn a bit, so [...]
