My fellow blogger, Maria Reina, has already shared her story from Village Social – but the experience at the Mt. Kisco eatery was so stellar I thought I’d share mine too. The best part of my eat-sploration for this blog is being inspired to travel a little further than my… Read More →
I have been hooked on salad in a jar lately! I am trying hard to eat more vegetables. Yes, I eat plants, but plants include things like grains and sugar… foods of which I can definitely eat too much. One of my big problems with vegetables is when to eat… Read More →
Mention four little words “can I bring something?” and many people shudder when the answer is “yes.” What is it about Pot Luck dinners that turn the most confident person into a quivering mess? Thoughts of creating a four-star restaurant quaility dish permeates your brain and you’re toast. Thinly Sliced… Read More →
Tomatoes … so many types – so little time! Nothing says “summer” to me like a ripe juicy tomato. Not the uniform red variety in the grocery store – the lumpy odd shaped colorful “heirlooms” you find at the farm stand in July, August and September. Just pick one up at… Read More →

I was recently in Burlington, Vermont for my step-daughter Elinor’s college graduation and made a trip to the Burlington Farmers Market. It’s a fabulous market with loads of vendors ranging from vegetables and proteins to plants, soap and objects d’art. I got a couple of bags of just-picked spinach and… Read More →
Another sure sign of Spring: the beautiful fava bean appears. Long, non-descript pods piled high at the market or at your local specialty store. Favas are loaded with great nutritional value: they are a source of protein, folate, and many essential vitamins including B. Their flavor is nutty, ever so slightly… Read More →
I just discovered this recipe this summer, but it’s already become a favorite. The vinaigrette is so lemony and delicious. It’s best the day you make it.
Chop’t, the choose-as-you-go salad restaurant, will open in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center in the spring. (The information, and photos, are from a press release I received from Win Ridge Realty LLC, the manager for the Rye Ridge Shopping Center.)

Hi, it’s Katherine Curry again. Poor Liz might have been laid low by the swine flu, but I think I’ve been felled by holiday overindulgence in swine foods. Bacon for breakfast…ham for Christmas dinner…the guanciale, truffle and egg pizza at Tarry Lodge…pulled pork at Q in Mount Kisco. Phew! It’s… Read More →
Over the weekend I came up with a new salad that really fits the bill for this hot weather we’re having. You do everything on the grill and then toss it with lettuce and mint — which really cools you down. I did ribeye, but you can do chicken or… Read More →
