Pink Pasta with Beets and Ricotta
March 26, 2014Photo by Judith Hausman This pretty pink dish put spring in your step. Here’s a humble, vegetarian pasta combination, perfect for a still-cold night. Often if I find decent winter beets in the market, I roast them right away when baking something else, so the beets can wait ready-to-eat in the fridge. Red beets tossed […]
Scandinavian Potato Salad
March 19, 2014Photo by Judith Hausman Nordic food finds an locavore twist. Now that the best restaurant in the world (Noma) is in Denmark, Nordic food is having its moment in the sun. Could that be why the bunch of fresh, local dill I found at a farm stand recently made me think Scandinavian? Unlike the Midwest, […]
Moroccan-style Lamb Shanks
March 12, 2014Photo by Judith Hausman Stew is good for you! Winter is still among us in the New York’s Hudson Valley where I live.

This seemed like a great occasion to defrost three packages of sausage and create my white bean and […]

Beer is a great base for beef stew but usually I shamelessly gather the brews up and use them to make the easiest bread ever, in all kinds of variations, and the beer can be flat or fizzy. You may already know this recipe; […]
Butterhorn Rolls From FarmHer
February 19, 2014Most of us just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, throw some joke comments around and move on to the guacamole bowl. Others, like Marji Guyler-Alaniz, see much more and draw inspiration for food-system change.
Winter Salad: Pumpkin & Rice
February 5, 2014Photo by Judith Hausman Pumpkin and rice are winter comfort foods. I love this pumpkin and rice winter salad recipe, a substantial cross between a salad and a side that makes use of long-keeping winter resources such as pumpkin and onions. Serve it room temperature accompanied by a green salad to make it a light […]
