Fans of the lamb spiedie Corno di Toro peppers from Suzie’s Farm                                       Cora from Dutch Farmers–they have the first eggplants of the season!                 Heirloom Dutch purple, Antohi, and [...]

If you’ve been in the South at all, you’re probably familiar with these strange-looking little seed pods. If not, “Are they edible?” might be the first thing out of your mouth when you encounter okra. And it’s a good question. Actually, okra is a member of the family of plants that includes cotton and hollyhocks. [...]

There are people who, by nature, eat their food very conscientiously. Whether they are born gourmets, or just following Dr. Weil’s instructions, they instinctively chew slowly, deliberating over every mouthful, feeding their senses with ample time to consider and appreciate.

Our 101 Pop-up stand will not be open today…See you at the Leucadia Farmer’s Market tomorrow from 10-2 @ Paul Ecke Central in Encinitas!

Everyone, meet Ted. Ted, how long have you been a fan of Annel & Drew’s Kitchen? I think it must have been at least 5 years ago when I first stopped by the first incarnation of their “kitchen” in Ocean Beach. Back then they were still in the parking lot across from their current location. As I try and [...]

Happy 5th of July! No, that wasn’t a typo. It’s July 5th. It’s Tuesday. It’s 2011. What gives? We had a great day yesterday. It was a gathering up in the wilds of Escondido, at our friends’ new house. It’s the perfect party house, which is why they bought it–Drew and Jenna love to party. [...]
