Let the maple-sugaring now happening in the Garden State inspire a stew that hits on all taste buds in the most expressive ways.
The Market Picks Are In
When it’s crunch time, go to your favorite winter market to stock up for all you’ll need, be it for the big game, weeknight quick-eats or a one-two punch of put-together ingredients. Let Ella’s market edits for the Morris Winter Market be your handy guide.
The Case of the Annual Bowl Food
Sometimes, if you don’t think too hard, plan too much and worry it all to death, you come to a most satisfying conclusion – be it readable or edible.
Market Meals, from Ramsey
One of the Garden State’s busiest winter farmers’ markets offers Ella inspiration for both quick put-together suppers and easy-cooking dinners.
Purple Yams
TPW’s ever-intrepid Ella, intrigued by the idea of learning more about a member of the potato family put into the spotlight through its uses in Filipino sweets, heads into the kitchen to experiment and emerges with something far more than just dessert.
Lemon Focaccia
Lemon gives a home-baked bread a lift that rockets it to new-favorite status. Ella shares her experiments as she makes good on a resolution.
Mandarin-Stuffed Prosciutto Cups
It’s an under-30-minutes endeavor in the kitchen and it produces a bright bite that hits on all taste cylinders. Is the little bit of fuss it commands warranted?
Accent Addict
New Year’s Resolution: Make a dent in ungainly collection of spices/condiments/et al by using what’s already on hand. First up: Fried Spicy Desiccated Coconut.
Duck Eggs
There’s an awful lot of yolk in these larger-than-chicken eggs, and they’ll serve to make devilishly good stuffed eggs. Not your basic summer picnic one-biter, either, but a hearty, protein-rich three-bite snack. Take two and call it a meal.
Monkfish
If you’re short a fish for a proper Feast of Seven Fishes dinner, think local and think seasonal. Right now is the time for the big, brawny bottom-feeder often dubbed “poor man’s lobster.” Ella experiments and reports.
Cinnamon Dreams
Keep your pantry stocked with this indispensable spice and use it with purposeful abandon.
Sides Take Center Stage
Curtains up! Time to let a cauliflower-romanesco-pickled grape stew and wild rice studded with pickled cranberries take a bow.
