From the President’s Kitchen: For the Love of Vegetables?
Who says vegetables can’t be a main dish? Although we in the Culinary Society have always been strong proponents for the carnivorous way of life, Matt plays a different tune this week. Let’s face it. I’ve been known to herald a certain type of cooking: plentiful amounts of butter, generous cups of cream, and (of [...]

The (green)Market Watch: Beets
Merritt returns this year resolving to cook EVEN MORE! This week, she brings us a simple recipe for beets. I’m trying to cook more. I won’t call it a New Year’s resolution, because it’s really more a necessity after I found myself saying “Where did all my money go? Oh, right, vacation,” and “I will [...]

The (green)Market Watch: Wild Mushrooms
Merritt returns with one more GreenMarket adventure before the end of the semester, writing on mushrooms and her frustration with written recipes. It’s hard for me to follow a recipe.

The (green)Market Watch: Carrots

The (green)Market Watch: Potatoes

Enter Merritt, our Farmer’s Market correspondent and a former chef. Each week, Merritt will update us about the seasonal produce–just in time for Sunday morning’s market. The Greenmarkets of New York [...]

First off, we have the arrival of JBF LTD–the pop-up restaurant by the James Beard Foundation. (Get it? JBF for a Limited time!) The pop-up is only open for a couple weeks, closing on [...]

The Solution to Apple Confusion
No matter what happens, whenever I arrive at the GreenMarket I am immediately taken aback by the countless amount of apples that appear in the stands. There are so many varieties and colors, and ALL of them look delicious! How am I supposed to choose? Yes, I know that there are little signs with [...]
