the farmers market
The farmers market is becoming the town square of modern times. Not only can you shop there for
impeccably fresh foods, you can catch up with your friends as you browse; you can introduce your
children to the pleasures of fresh food; you can ask the apple grower about the best way to cook his
prized fruits. In short, regular visits to the farmers market help make your whole life more vibrant.
Whats in Season
Why Organic
that has been free from chemical input. This means that all
that you and your family are protected from harmful chemicals.
the food simply tastes amazing. As you move toward eating this
BE FLEXIBLE
While you may head to the market with the
outline of a meal and a general list, be ready to
change your plan if the items you need are not
in season. For example, if your recipe calls for
spinach and its not at the market that day, but
you see big, beautiful bunches of kale or chard,
snap them up. You can also ask vendors for
cooking suggestions. Youll find they can be very
knowledgeable about preparing and cooking
their beloved products.

DAIRY
Cheese is a staple at the farmers market and
dairy farmers or cheese makers from every
region will boast their own type depending on
whether sheep, cows, or goats are raised in the
area. You can often substitute locally grown
cheeses for the more traditional, imported
varieties of cheese called for in a recipe. For
example, a locally produced firm (or aged)
sheeps milk or dry jack cheese could stand
in for an Italian romano or Parmesan cheese.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Look for other edible items sold by artisans
who use local ingredients in their products.
Youll often see bread, olive oil, nuts, jams and
preserves, honey, and confections among the
produce vendors.

In a bowl, whisk together the ice water and
egg. Whisk in the 34 cup flour; the batter
should be quite lumpy. Add the ice cubes.
Pour enough oil into a wok or deep fryer
to reach halfway up the sides and heat to
350F (180C) on a deep-frying thermometer.
Working in batches, lightly dust the beans
with flour, then dip in the batter, shaking
off the excess. Fry, stirring occasionally, until
crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels
and season with salt.

plants that are prized primarily for their leaves. This large
sweet, to sturdy greens like arugula (rocket) that have
a peppery flavor, to hearty greens that have a pleasant
bitterness. Historical evidence suggests that leafy greens
were gathered in the wild as long ago as the time of the
ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans.
For cooking purposes, it is useful to divide leafy greens
into four categories. Delicate lettuces include butter (Boston)
lettuce, romaine (cos) lettuce, and mche. Watercress,
radicchio, and frise, leaves with a more substantial texture,
are considered sturdy lettuces. Chicory is a group to which
some sturdy greens, such as radicchio, also belong. Radicchio
and Belgian endive (chicory/witloof) grow as tightly packed
heads; other chicories form loose heads like lettuce. Robust
kale, chard, and spinach are commonly called dark greens.
Dark greens, though often cooked when mature, may be
harvested young for use in salads.
Leafy greens have a constant presence at the farmers market,
as different types proliferate throughout the year.

Put the currants in a small bowl and add
hot water to cover. Let stand until plump.
Season the swordfish with salt and pepper.
In a large, heavy frying pan over mediumhigh heat, warm 2 Tbsp of the olive oil.
Add the swordfish and cook until opaque
throughout, about 3 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan and keep warm.
In a frying pan over medium-high heat,
warm another 2 Tbsp of the olive oil. Add
the garlic and red pepper flakes and saut
until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add as
much arugula as will fit in the pan. As the
arugula wilts, add the remaining arugula.
Cook until the arugula is wilted, about
4 minutes. If the pan gets too dry, add
a splash of water. Remove from the heat.
Drain the currants and add to the pan with
the almonds and the remaining 1 Tbsp
olive oil. Season with salt.
Arrange the swordfish and arugula on plates.
Serve right away with the lemon wedges.

DELICATA SQUASH
With green-striped yellow skin and orangeyellow flesh, the delicata squash tastes similar
to a sweet potato. It is about 3 inches (7.5 cm)
in diameter and 68 inches (1520 cm) long.
Unlike other winter squashes, you can eat
the skin of delicata squash. Its sweet flesh is
excellent cooked and then pured into a soup
or used as a filling for ravioli. It is also delicious
cut into slices and roasted.

The term melon describes a large round or oval fruit with skin
that ranges from thin to very thick and encloses juicy flesh
surrounding a central core of small seeds. Before they are even
cut into, most melons have an alluring aroma that hints of the
sweet, smooth flesh inside.

Roasting Peppers
Blanching Vegetables
Toasting Nuts
Zesting Citrus
Scrub the fruit well to remove any wax.
Gently pull a citrus zester over the surface
to produce fine shreds of colored zest.
Or push the fruit against the fine rasps of
a handheld grater or the razor-edged holes
of a Microplane grater. Do not grate the
bitter white pith beneath the zest. If you also
need to use the juice of the lemon, remove
the zest before juicing.
Segmenting Citrus
Cut a slice from the top and bottom of
the citrus to reveal the flesh. Stand the
fruit upright and slice downward to remove
the peel and white pith. Holding the fruit
in one hand, cut along either side of each
segment to release it from the membrane,
letting the segments drop into a bowl.
When all the segments have been removed,
squeeze the remaining membrane over the
bowl to extract all the juice. Repeat with
the remaining fruits. Remove the citrus
segments and place them in a large bowl.
Toasting Seeds
Place the seeds in a dry, heavy frying pan
over medium heat and warm until they
are fragrant and just begin to change color,
shaking the pan as necessary to prevent
scorching. This should take only a few
minutes. Pour onto a plate, let cool, then
grind in a spice grinder or with a mortar
and pestle.
Hard-Boiling Eggs
Fill a saucepan with salted water and bring
to a full boil over high heat. Gently lower
1 or more eggs into the water and reduce
the heat to low. Simmer for 8 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice
and water to stop the cooking. After a few
minutes, remove the eggs from the water
and hit them against a counter to crack,
then peel away and discard the shells.
