Cheating Recipes
I’m always pretty skeptical of “cheating recipes”: recipes that claim to provide a way to enjoy everything from brownies to pudding by replacing all the good stuff (butter, flower, cream, chocolate, etc.) with vegetables. I had an especially bad experience last week with a recipe for Cauliflower Pizza Dough. The only ingredients were cauliflower, eggs, [...]

Roasted Tomato Soup
Lately it has been soup weather. When I am frozen to the bone all I want is a big bowl of tomato soup. The thing is, I really don’t like canned soup. Campbell’s tomato smoothie in a can just doesn’t do it for me. Sadly, prime tomato season is early august to late september. We [...]

Leek and Gruyere Tart
I was perusing West Side Market and was sadly not being inspired by any of the vegetables on offer and then I saw these huge scallion things. They looked familiar but I was completely blank on what they were or what I could use them for. Pulling out my handy phone I gave my resident [...]

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: Brussels Sprouts
Ready to help the hesitant cook tackle an unpopular breed of wild cabbage into a savory main dish. Who doesn’t love having the full spread? A salad, meat with something starchy and some vegetables on the side, followed with dessert. But for me, this sort of tried and true arrangement is now usually reserved for [...]

Forgotten Foods: Radicchio
In college, I feel like most students either completely neglect vegetables or stick to the boring basics (such as carrots, celery, and snap peas with Ranch dressing). I would like to introduce Radicchio! Radicchio is a beautiful vegetable hailing from Italy. Looking for it in West Side, it is in the aisle with the dried fruits [...]
