Westchester New York
The lessons of this summer's home cuisine are:
A growing plant of basil on the patio is the best accent to the kitchen salads. Every salad was more delicious with a few sliced leaves.
The best salad of the season was mostly from Fairway Pelham- spinach leaves, nitrate free bacon, golden beets. tamari roasted almonds, and locally grown tomatoes . That dash of home grown basil topped it off.
Crab cakes ala Alyssa Ha. The crab meat at Stew's is pricey, but the result without all that breading of a restaurant crab cake is worth the expense.
Red velvet cupcakes ala Kathryn Ha, so moist! Hope she will share that recipe!
Blackened shrimp from Fairway at $14.99 per pound. All of our shrimp is brought frozen here in New York. But if you get it over the counter it may be free of the preservatives they put in packaged frozen shrimp. So for the price, this ready to eat delicious treat is a good deal.
Beans are good for memory. The Tuscan Bean soup, ribolito, is still my best.
Mint is good if chopped in a vodka cocktail. I have not tried it but a neighbor who walks by my mint garden tells me so, and is happy I let her take some.
Grilled steak is much more delicious with a grilled portabello by its side.
Would love to hear the summer treats discovered by others...
