Okay, Okay, spring is here. I have stopped resisting it. Unfortunately, that does not mean spring vegetables are here in Zone 4, despite how it feels like they should. Besides, as my clients know, I do not include ‘spring’ veggies in DDoW menus until they are more abundant (and cheaper) at local farmers’ markets. Perhaps [...]

As mentioned in earlier posts and my weekly email blast, I’m cooking dinner for 175 people this weekend at a church auction event. Many many volunteers will be helping me prep cook, serve, etc. I am shopping like crazy, will hit the farmers market tomorrow morning for collards etc, and then start banging around the [...]

I am seriously bumming that the weekday metro Farmers Markets are all done for the season as of this week. And my favorite, St Paul Farmers Market in Lowertown (weekends only), closes Nov 15th! Aiiyeee! But the Mpls market on North Lyndale is open daily 6am – 1pm til Dec 25th. The variety of produce [...]

Last night I oversaw a community dinner for 60. The goal was to make it locavore and vegan. Sized up what was available at the farmers’ market and decided on Ratatouille to take advantage of the very last zucchini and to bid farewell to summer. Main components are zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes, with optional bell [...]

Aunty Oxidant makes Firecracker Salad at the Moving Planet MN350 event at the State Capitol, St Paul, 09-24-11 Saturday was an incredibly beautiful day to be outside, talking to people about sustainable agriculture and buying local, and handing out samples of fresh raw salad made from vegetables I had just bought at the farmers’ market that morning. I [...]

You may have noticed market tables piled high with unfamiliar greens that are being snapped up by Africans. Okra leaves! Well that makes sense, doesn’t it? given the abundance of locally grown okra. The greens are very mild, similar to beet greens. Try one raw and you’ll see how mild. I sauteed them like beet [...]
