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.
Beans.
Icicle radishes.
Chile oils.
Fennel, one of my favorite winter vegetables.
Carrots.
Baby corn.
Cardoons.
Tomatoes. Pictured are a mix of heirloom and San Marzano tomatoes.
Walnuts.
Horseradish roots. Their appearance at the market means that winter isn’t far behind.
Radishes.
Salad greens.
Romano beans.
Cardoons. Virtually unknown in the U.S., they’re a hallmark of Italian cuisine.
Olives.
Cauliflower.
Celtuce, otherwise known as stem lettuce. They usually appear in stir-fries.
French breakfast radishes.
Spring onions.
Shrubs. They’re sweetened vinegar-based syrups often used in mixed drinks.
Beets.
Carrots.
Arkansas black apples. They’re a heirloom variety of apples — very sweet with a fragrant aroma and crisp texture.
Greens.
Brussels sprouts.
Greens.
Early Girl tomatoes.
Eggplant.
French breakfast radishes.
Carrots.
Autumn squashes.
French breakfast radishes. If I were still living in NYC, these would appear in May. I adore them.
Napa cabbage.
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.
