Week 11 brought us some amazing produce from Mike & Clare which included collard greens, potatoes, green beans, cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes, and cippolini onions! wow!
We've really been enjoying the cucumbers and tomatoes. A simple salad of diced cucumbers and tomatoes with olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, crumbled feta cheese, and salt and pepper is a perfect summer treat!
Some of you have been wondering about additional online food-related resources so I'll share with you my personal favorites.
The best site, in my opinion, for recipes is Epicurious. All of the recipes on the site are taken from Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazine. The recipes are always delicious, beautiful, and crowd-pleasers. Plus, there isn't a fruit, vegetable, or cut of meat you can buy that they don't have a recipe for.
Another great place to get recipes accompanied by fun food writing is the Mark Bittman blog "Bitten". It's updated daily and almost always includes a recipe. I highly recommend it, I never miss a day.
If you want to find out more about organic food and organic farming then you should definitely check out a blog that I very recently found out about (thank you Ryan A.) called OrganicToBe. This blog includes a lot of interesting articles about the current state of organic/sustainable farming in the US as well tips for home gardeners, recipes etc.
If you'd like to keep up to speed on the local, sustainable, seasonal food scene in Chicago then a great place to look is Edible Chicago. It's a new magazine so there's limited content on the site at this point but the calendar of events section alone is reason enough to keep this site handy.
Anyway, those are some of my favorites. If you know of a great food site that the rest of us should be checking out let me know!
