The foods we expect Week 9
Thanks to Veronica (our CSA/farm liaison) and MimoMex, we have a good idea of what to expect in tomorrow’s share:
Tomatoes
Eggplant
Pepper
Kale
Cucumber
& Herbs (not quite sure which one[s], yet)
As usual, this list is subject to change, but we expect most – if not all – of these great vegetables to be on their way to Central Brooklyn CSA early tomorrow afternoon.
Community Chef Emily and Bar Sepia’s Delissa Reynolds join forces for this explosion of cooking!
Whether you had a chance to join us for last week’s amazing cooking expo or not, you do not want to miss tonight’s event. Our Community Chef Emily will be joined by Delissa Reynolds of Bar Sepia (Prospect Heights) from 5 ’til 7pm. If you want to see what two great cooks can do with veggies from this week’s share, it is definitely worth coming to distribution a few minutes early so you can watch the magic happen. Oh yeah, there will be lots of tasty samples, to boot! 😉

I take this bean thing seriously, so it was a personal challenge to incorporate epazote into my quest to make the best ever bowl of beans.
Recipe by John-Thomas Crockett
I love beans. Black, pinto, kidney, red, pink, garbanzo, it doesn’t matter: beans are my thing. For the past couple of years I have been in charge of the food at my brother’s Super Bowl Bash ( a fact I am quite proud of), and last year I was actually commissioned to make a couple of pots of beans. Think about that for a moment. More than chicken wings, tacos, ribs, or pizza, folks thought beans, my beans, would take the party to higher heights. With humility, I make a mean bean. It is, in fact, a family thing. After decades of bean dominance, my mother is the undisputed Queen of Beans. After years of studying her techniques and stealing glances at her seasoning selections, I think I am ready to challenge for the title “Bean King.”
I take this bean thing seriously, so when we got epazote in our CSA share and I learned it was often used as a bean seasoning, I took it as a personal challenge to incorporate the herb in my next iteration of legume goodness.
