Food Sites for July 2016

Wednesday, June 15, 2016


Great Spangled Frittillary (Speyeria cybele) on Spotted Knapweed (Centaurea maculosa). It must be summer!

Since our last issue, we’ve been hiking and photographing (not to mention eating) our way across New York’s Adirondacks and Finger Lakes regions—and yet, we’ve found time to put together a summer issue of these updates.

In other news: Roll Magazine has posted “St. Even’s Challenge,” a culinary adventure story. Modern Salt has published another gastronomic saga: “Fat Lady Burrito,” one with a moral of sorts (or at least what passes for a moral around here). 

Inscrutably, our latest book’s (Can It! The Perils and Pleasures of Preserving Foods) release date has been changed to July fifteenth. Perhaps the powers that be are waiting for the book to complete its fermentation (either that, or US Customs noticed a strange smell coming from the shipment of books from England). We have received our authors copies, so we know they exist...

You can, if you wish, follow us on Facebook, and Twitter. Still more of our online scribbles can be found at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.

“Sumer is icummin in” and this month’s quotes (from On the Table’s culinary quote collection) can “sing cuccu” with the best of em:

The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons, as I pass, Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass. Andrew Marvell 
Around here, grillin’s grillin’ and barbecue is, well—sigh, sweat’what dinin’ in heaven's got to be all about. Jane Garvey 
When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat. Mark Twain
Gary

PS: If you encounter broken links, changed URLs—or know of wonderful sites weve missed—please drop us a line. It helps to keep this resource as useful as possible for all of us. To those of you who have introduced us to sites like the ones in this newsletter (such as Fabio Parasecoli), thanks, and keep them coming!

PPS: If you wish to change the e-mail address at which you receive these newsletters, or otherwise modify the way you receive our postings or—if youve received this newsletter by mistake, and/or dont wish to receive future issues—you have our sincere apology and can have your e-mail address deleted from the list immediately. Were happy (and continuously amazed) that so few people have decided to leave the list but, should you choose to be one of them, let us know and well see that your in-box is never afflicted by these updates again. You’ll find links at the bottom of this page to fix everything to your liking.
