We're still getting fresh local tomatoes in in the Bay Area and will continue to do so into October. Such glorious abundance! So far this season, I have canned whole San Marzano's, tomato jam and am...
As we head into the end of September and the days shorten and cool, we may be fooled into thinking it's autumn. And it is, sort of. But the summer bounty is still rolling in, as evidenced by the bri...
Q: HELP! I planted basil from seeds this year, and wound up with about 60 basil plants that are in full swing right now. I can't keep up with all the beautiful basil leaves they're producing, and my f...
My kitchen is overflowing with tomatoes, a 'problem' I truly love and appreciate! I'm making plans for tomato chutney and tomato jam and homemade ketchup. Canning projects are being penciled in and ...
We spend a lot of time talking about fun summer cocktails. What about something non-alcoholic that feels just as special (and, ok, would taste pretty good with vodka)?...
We think of adding basil to a salad when we're making a caprese salad. But it's delicious chopped up with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and whatever else you've got—a little zing that elevates a bas...
For us, it wouldn't be summer without a bunch of fresh basil in the kitchen. We layer the fragrant leaves with sliced heirloom tomatoes, tear them into salads, or grind them into pesto. From sweet bas...
Fresh basil is definitely one of the signature tastes of summer, and you can be sure we'll be tasting a lot of it from now until the weather turns cold again! Want to get the most flavor and aroma fro...
Earlier today we told you about our cocktail party strategy of sticking to two or three dishes (rather than eight or nine) that look bountiful and feed a crowd. This is one we just served: tomato skew...

We did a lot of cooking by feel this weekend. Not feeling like going out on Sunday or poring over recipes, we opted to stay in and use what we had on hand. This is something we threw together....
Ahh, one of our favorite dishes in the summer; fresh tomatoes, buffala mozzarella, and fresh basil layered together, and then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. ...
Original Ice Cream Flavor: Basil Infused Ginger and Cinnamon Ice Cream Ice Cream Chef:Christine What inspired this recipe? When my husband and I were in Portland recently, he ordered a basil-infused...
When summer’s heat arrives, it’s hard to to think of preparing, much as less eating, hot food. We want something cool, quick and refreshing. We also want to use the fresh bounty that starts fill...
One of our favorite parts of summer is the abundance of fresh herbs--often in our own back yards! We find ourselves throwing herbs into everything we cook, relishing in their fresh green flavors. Sin...
You know that we love basil, so of course we love pesto too, especially during the summer. But pesto is a little high in fat to be eating every day. So we've been challenging ourselves lately to make...
It might seem strange to start a salad recipe by talking about a sausage. But when a friend gave us some beautiful homemade links, we immediately thought of the classic Tuscan sausage and cannellini b...
It seems as if Elizabeth picked up on a trend this week. Basil cocktails are everywhere! Crisp lemon and tequila, strawberry puree with flavored vodka and more below. ...
We didn't stop with rhubarb! There was plenty of basil and the liquor was flowing easily last night, so we came up with another cocktail — this time with pineapple and a hint of lime... ...
Earlier in the week, we posted some ideas for using basil in cocktails, promising to try our own interpretations over the weekend. Well, we did some experimenting, and while our first inclination wa...
Basil really does scream summer to us — mostly because it's so closely linked to tomatoes (in our minds, at least). On a trip to Sonoma Valley last year, we kept seeing basil on cocktail menus. An...
One of the most frequent questions we've noticed during Garden Month is a general one about cutting herbs. Since herbs are one of the easiest things to grow indoors or in a container, we expect that m...
Do you see them? We read Elle Decor for the home design, not Daniel Boulud's food column, but when flipping through this month's issue, we noticed these parsley and basil breadcrumbs dusted over his...
Delicious radishes The Noe Valley Farmer's Market is located at 3861 24th Street, between Sanchez and Vicksburg Streets and is held every Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM. It's a smaller than the other tw...
Here in Brooklyn, the weather is still chilly and damp, and hardly the epitome of spring. This weekend might be just warm enough for a stoop picnic, visiting with neighbors and the Sunday paper, while...
