February 1 Giveaway
I'm back in the swing of my monthly giveaways and will
be collaborating again with some fabulous designers.
On the first of every month I will be offering a 12x9 print
of our seasonal recipes from 2010.
Just to remind you all, last year I joined forces with local
Brooklyn chef Sung Uni Lee and we produced a seasonal recipe every month.
Sung designed the culinary side and I illustrated it.
This culminated in a set of 12 recipe cards complete with directions on
the back and envelopes for sending to loved ones.
So, to kick of February here's our Sweet Tart Soup as a kitchen print.
To enter please post a comment below on how you eat locally
in the winter months. The winner will be randomly picked on
Tuesday, February 8th.

When I dine out, I try to go to restaurants that prepare local food. My recent favorite is Rm. 11 if you're in Washington DC. Dining out also gives you great ideas for dishes to attempt at home.
ReplyDeletethe local-est I get in the winter is going to my neighborhood grocery store and buy Texas grown tomatoes. I am late on the bandwagon of CSA. I start this March and I am really excited about it!

I spend the spring and summer months procuring delicious produce to can and pack away for winter, this morning strawberry spoon jam on my pancakes, yummm
ReplyDeleteI eat locally in the winter by jarring and pickling things...ohhh pickled carrots...I cant imagine anything better.
ReplyDeleteThis year we started a creamery and veggie delivery service in the DC area. We get cheese, meat, eggs, and milk from the creamery in MD. The veggies are selected from the closest possible vendors/farms including some hydroponics. My husband is getting into the preserving and made peach, cherry and blueberry jam that we've been enjoying since summer.
ReplyDeleteWe eat locally in that we're still eating potatoes we grew last summer, and jam we canned. When I'm choosing produce at the grocery store, I buy vegetables and fruits that are grown as close to home as possible.
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate to raise my own poultry and have a freezer full of free range organic chicken. My laying hens just decided Spring is on the way and started laying sporadically. I also buy locally milled flour and make a lot of bread. @erin: Want to try Rm 11! We're close to DC.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm super-lucky to live in Northern California, so eating locally here in the winter isn't that much of a challenge. I get a CSA box from a local farm each week (this week's has mandarins, oranges, romanesco, collard greens, broccoli, turnips, 3 lbs of mixed root veggies, and carrots -- see total bounty even in winter!) I supplement the box with trips to the farmer's market. I also enjoy my own summer-canned jams and pickles all winter.
ReplyDeletei'm fortunate to be living on the central coast where there are farmer's markets every week! local all the way!
ReplyDeletej.
Lucky for me Fort Greene has an amazing all-year-round farmer's market where I buy my produce every Saturday. Lately I've been devouring turnips, radishes and carrots. I can't seem to get enough of them!
ReplyDeletefarmers markets and stores that support local! my roommate and i have been discussing jumping on the csa bandwagon, it sounds fabulous. i think we're going to try it this month! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO gorgeous! But I want the set....ha, selfish me!
ReplyDeleteI save as much as I can from my garden... then I shop at a store called The Turnip Truck to find local produce to use during the winter.
ReplyDeleteMy husband did a bunch of canning this year, and our local farmers market moved inside :-)

We order our meat from a local farmer who does a delivery to a spot downtown every weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky enough to be part of a Winter Buyer's Co-op which provides local veggies through the dark days. Wish we saw more variety, but it makes us happy knowing we're supporting the local farmers!
