I’ve been on a real kick for Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food recently, with Turkish, Moroccan and Greek food being at the top of that list. Earlier this week, when out shopping at Trader Joe’s, we stopped at Cafe Istanbul at Easton for dinner, and one of the things we enjoyed for dinner was their Appetizer Sampler, [...]

What could possibly have been more heartwarming than seeing the line for “Good Food,” a new movie about Northwest farmers and sustainable food, stretching around the block? Maybe it was the wild applause the SIFF audience gave, once they got inside, at the mention of a sponsor, the Essential Baking Co. (Bakery staffers were handing [...]
A YEAR after the kitchen garden was planted at Westgarth Primary School, the students are making a meal of it.
Even the fussiest eaters among grades five and six have been transformed into gourmets as they tuck into the pumpkin and potato gnocchi with parsley pesto followed by pizza with caramelised pears, chocolate and mascarpone.

My mother was an Orthodox Jew, and the food she made at home was bland and overcooked, especially the vegetables. The long-broiled steaks and livers and pasty potatoes and mammaliga (corn meal mush) were no match for the crisp, tasty meat and bright green vegetables I knew from eating with Chinese folks at restaurants in [...]
