Cook the Book: Grill Every Day

My Grandma's potato salad; grilled veggies on skewers; grilled chicken brushed with Tiger Sauce. But the very best is when the corn is ready to pick, and we can have sweet corn--there's nothing better than sweet corn fresh from the garden. YUM.

Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

I like to make a nice salad with beautiful greens and herbs from the garden, some pears and figs, and a homemade dressing, usually blue cheese or vinaigrette depending. A plate of cheeses and crackers, a fruit plate, and then a rich dessert with a sweet wine following.

Cook the Book: The River Cottage Cookbook

We moved from Zone 5 to Zone 6 last year--what a difference! If I want to plant spring crops, I do it in January here. Talk about starting the gardening itch early! Right now, I've got spinach, radishes, and peas coming up, along with Valentine Rhubarb. My herbs are greening up, too--oregano, lavender, lemon balm, mint, marjoram, and thyme.

Seed Savers Exchange has wonderful heirloom tomatoes and pepper plants, and I ordered six. I am looking forward to watching my three-year-old munch on cherry tomatoes still warm from the bush. There's nothing like passing on the magic of the earth to the next generation!

We'll plant green zucchini and yellow straightneck squash, Scarlet Runner beans, sweet onions, fingerling potatoes (I'd have those out now, but I want to avoid the life cycle of the Colorado potato beetle), and basil -- lots of basil.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Secret Ingredients, the New Yorker Book of Food and Drink'

Nigella Lawson
I read her from cover-to-cover. She's found a voice that makes her cookbooks accessible and funny. I don't even have to enjoy her recipes (not that I don't)--she's just fun to be with.
