| OK, I'll Bite: What Are Ramps? Posted: 13 Apr 2021 02:46 PM PDT If you see a crowd gathering around a stall at your local farmers market any time between mid-April and early June, odds are you've stumbled across someone selling ramps. Let me tell you, nothing gets people who know and love ramps more excited than seeing those first green leaves on a warm spring morning. Of course, by appearance alone, they're simply yet another plant in a sea of green at the market. So, what's all the fuss about? What are ramps? From Our Shop What Are Ramps, Anyway?Ramps (allium tricoccum), sometimes referred to as wild leeks or wild garlic, are technically a wild onion that grow most abundantly in the eastern and central U.S. and Canada (though you can find them showing their verdant heads in a couple other southern and western American states). Ramp patches typically begin to sprout in wooded areas around early April, and last until May or early June.  |
| You're 3 Ingredients From Fudgy Buckwheat Brownies Posted: 13 Apr 2021 12:45 PM PDT A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor. That means five ingredients or fewer—not including water, salt, black pepper, and certain fats (like oil and butter), since we're guessing you have those covered. Psst, did you hear we're coming out with a cookbook? We're coming out with a cookbook! One of the earliest brownie recipes dates back to 1896 and curiously, even disconcertingly, includes no chocolate—just butter, sugar, molasses, egg, flour, and pecan "meat," as Fannie Farmer described it in her Boston Cooking School Cook Book.  |
| Your Biggest Climate Decision Isn't What You Cook—It's What You Don't Posted: 13 Apr 2021 06:51 AM PDT With The Climate Diet, award-winning food and environmental writer Paul Greenberg offers us the practical, accessible guide we all need. This new release contains fifty achievable steps we can take to live our daily lives in a way that's friendlier to the planet—from what we eat, how we live at home, how we travel, and how we lobby businesses and elected officials to do the right thing. Here, Paul shares on the the role of food waste in our overall climate decision making—and how it's a much bigger deal than we think. We spend a lot of time climate-agonizing over what to buy and what to cook. By now, most of us know that beef can have 25 times the carbon footprint of legumes, that out-of-season air-freighted things like winter berries and fish from distant shores burden the planet, and that water from the tap is a vastly better choice than bottled. But if we're really looking to trim our carbon footprints consistently throughout the year—what I call going on a climate diet—addressing what we do after our meals are cooked and eaten can be a real game changer. By doing that, every American could easily cut their carbon footprint from food in half.  |
| 9 Ways to Make Grocery Store Bouquets Look Like a Million Bucks Posted: 13 Apr 2021 05:30 AM PDT If you're lucky, you might end up with a life luxurious enough to have weekly seasonal floral arrangements, brought into your home by a dedicated florist who snips blooms at their peak… But if you're in the other 99 percent (like us), it's more likely that you pick up flowers from the grocery store every once in a while to treat yourself. Because, if we're being honest, floral arrangements are really expensive. While you'd probably rather pore through the online options for expertly-arranged flowers, sometimes it's not within the time frame or the budget. Your dreams of a home freshly-scented from fluffy peonies notwithstanding, grocery-store bouquets are a great quick fix for a dinner-party host, a friend who's had a bad day, or a surprise mother-in-law visit. What's even better? There are plenty of ways to spruce 'em up.  |
