Warm Fava Bean and Chanterelle Mushroom Salad
by Stan Santos
If you’ve never had fava beans before, you’re seriously missing out on a seasonal treat that’s only available around this time of year. Fresh fava beans are a hallmark of spring. Their appearance sets the stage for a different kind of cooking, where the heaviness and stodginess of winter stews and soups gives way to a lightness that seems like a breath of fresh air. Young fava beans demand a gentle touch, such as a ragout with tomato and oregano, […]

Italian Potato Salad
by Stan Santos
The spring equinox is supposed to be in three days, but you’d never know it based on the weather this past weekend. It snowed briefly on Saturday, most of which had disappeared by this afternoon. Temperatures this week don’t seem particularly spring-like either; the highest we’re supposed to receive should be Tuesday when it’ll reach a relatively balmy 47 degrees sometime in the afternoon. I don’t know about you, but I’m dying for: asparagus, spinach and greens of all kinds. […]

Adirondack Blue Potato and Beet Salad
by Stan Santos
If you’re just joining us, the first thing you should know is that this is not the blog of a vegetarian. What this is, is the personal journal of someone who loves good food in all its forms. That being said, I have been eating less meat for the past five years. It’s gotten to the point where people in my family are asking me if I’m giving up meat altogether. I don’t think that will ever happen as I […]

Patate e Porri
by Stan Santos
This is a winter version of Fagiolini e patate, one that substitutes leeks for green beans in the linked recipe. If you don’t have leeks, you can use other winter greens such as chicory, escarole, kale, chard or watercress. Another version that I’m especially fond of contains a variety of wild mushrooms — shiitake mushrooms, cremini mushrooms and oyster mushrooms are all wonderful and delicious alternatives. One food resolution I have for 2013 is to try to reduce the amount […]

A Winter Greenmarket Dinner (2012)
by Stan Santos
This post originally ran on January 25, 2012. I thought I’d reblog it so that folks can see that even meals using ingredients from your local farmer’s market in the winter can be a source of joy and pleasure. You just have to think a little bit creatively, especially in the dead of winter when there’s hardly any green vegetables at hand. Tomorrow, I’ll write a post about tonight’s (January 10, 2013) menu. There’s a salad featuring bacon and egg, […]

What You Need
by Stan Santos
Poached farm egg over sautéed spinach, shiitake mushrooms and rocambole garlic, with roasted Yukon Gold potatoes There’s no real recipe for this plate, or as I like to call it, “Clean Out Your Fridge Night”. It’s just a bunch of different things thrown together that I had sitting around in the crisper a couple of days ago. There’ll be more “Clean Out” nights later this week, as I prep to go food shopping over the weekend. To view a brief […]
