I’m working on a post about homemade pasta that will appear soon — well, maybe sometime this week if I get around to it.
Clicking on a thumbnail in the mosaic below will call up a slideshow of high-resolution photographs.
Early Girl tomatoes.
Celtuce, otherwise known as stem lettuce. They usually appear in stir-fries.
French breakfast radishes.
Chile oils.
Arkansas black apples. They’re a heirloom variety of apples — very sweet with a fragrant aroma and crisp texture.
Cauliflower.
Romano beans.
Radishes.
Cardoons. Virtually unknown in the U.S., they’re a hallmark of Italian cuisine.
Beets.
Beans.
French breakfast radishes. If I were still living in NYC, these would appear in May. I adore them.
Tomatoes. Pictured are a mix of heirloom and San Marzano tomatoes.
Autumn squashes.
Eggplant.
Salad greens.
Baby corn.
Napa cabbage.
Walnuts.
Cardoons.
Olives.
Spring onions.
Carrots.
Horseradish roots. Their appearance at the market means that winter isn’t far behind.
Fennel, one of my favorite winter vegetables.
Shrubs. They’re sweetened vinegar-based syrups often used in mixed drinks.
Carrots.
Greens.
French breakfast radishes.
Greens.
Icicle radishes.
Carrots.
Brussels sprouts.
The notion of making homemade pasta sounds lovely.
I suppose homemade pasta beats store bought stuff by a country mile?

It depends on what it is you’re going to make. There are some sauces for which dried pasta is preferred over fresh, like for instance, a puttanesca.
