KREPLACH! That's exactly what my grandmother made with leftover trimmings from brisket.

I will always be conflicted about what I eat and the way it got to my table. I don't care how kind or gentle or peaceful it may be. I once knew an amazing artisanal pork producer who genuinely love...

Nice Martin!

I have both, and while I used to make stock in my Dutch oven, I don't anymore; I use a high-sided traditional stockpot. The reason: the height and depth of a traditional stockpot concentrates the ...

An absolute MUST read is Katherine Whiteside's fabulous THE WAY WE GARDEN NOW!

Enough, to this point, has been far, far too much. That's how we got into this predicament. Enough is two cars when you only need one; two televisions when you only need one; t...

James' recipes are spectacular!

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so jealous!
