My brother Eric in California asks me great questions about cooking. I provide info, as an extension of the cooking coaching I did for them a year ago on a visit (and b/c I’m a nice sister). So, he wrote recently that he was craving sauteed greens and wanted a few more variations than the [...]

I made giant batches of Garlicky Greens & Beans and Firecracker Slaw to hand out to guests at a fun meeting of the Frogtown Gardens neighborhood organization on Jan 26th, at the Rondo Library in St Paul. About 120 people packed the room to see the launch of its new series of cooking videos “Frogtown [...]

The big Auction Dinner on Sat went well and I am so thankful to the 20 volunteer cooks and servers who helped me pull it off! They chopped, stirred, sauteed, baked and blended with aplomb, good humor and minimal direction. Susan made the collard dish from start to finish, and she’d never even tried collards [...]

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 [...]

… and the Yums carry the day. I have never had so many unsolicited positive reviews of any one dish than for last week’s Green Tamale Pie! Some people tell me they love XYZ and, I think generally most people like most dishes, but the feedback for this was unprecedented. Thank you! I really appreciate [...]

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 [...]
