Chill with ice cream sandwiches made with these cookies
Hi
BFM fans
Last
week we had our first longish lines to enter the market because everyone came
early to beat the heat. You can safely arrive later without
missing out. The stands are full!
And
please be sure to drink water before you come to market. Hydrate is my
favorite word this summer. I also recommend putting a ripe melon in the
fridge when you get home and make
some gazpacho to sip all week. This recipe is from Jose Andres.
This
week why not combine a chicken from Groff's Content with Shenandoah
Seasonal's REAL celery (not the boring supermarket stuff). If you
have never bought celery at at farmers market, you are in for a treat: a
Taiwanese inspired recipe for both:--
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021228-chicken-and-celery-salad-with-wasabi-tahini-dressing?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article
And for vegetarians: the inspiration was this classic Taiwanese
recipe:"It’s similar to a cold
appetizer found in Taiwanese-Chinese cuisine, simply called hot mustard celery
salad. In the dish’s
usual preparation, blanched celery ribs are peeled or have the tough
strings pulled out, and are then tossed with a dressing made with hot mustard
powder. (The wasabi you often get from Japanese takeout has the same tingly
flavor profile as hot mustard powder.) " You can read more about the
Chicken recipe here.
This very flavorful celery would also make you happy in a great potato salad,
or with sweet fresh cabbage and carrots in a slaw.
Have you ever tried Carla Hall's peach
and tomato salad with pepper, chile and parsley? The heat wave
makes for very sweet fruit, both tomatoes and peaches like a bit of a
different kind of heat.
GROFF's CONTENT: Lots of cuts of beef, pork and chicken this
week at the stand this week...

SWIRLY GIRL CREAMERY
Here are a few of the cheeses to look forward to on Sunday. Mark K is your
guide. Are you ready for a Greek Salad with tomatoes, cucumber and
WHIPPED feta? Yes, whip their feta and you will be delighted by what this
simple change in texture does.
- Morbier: this semi soft cow
cheese with a layer of vegetable ash is a shout out to one of my favorite
French cheeses.
- Winter Morning is their most
popular, a bloomy rind cheese
- Feta, Tomato Basil Bovre and
Farmhouse cow cheeses are all great with pasta -- or on crackers.
- You like Funky cheese, they
have Mooster, Firetruck and Cowttin. Mooster is soft and spreadable
and melts well. Firetruck is a salty, hard, grater, Cowttin is
similar to a triple cream. The longer you keep it, the funkier it
gets. Very French.
