Welcome to the first Tasty Week
Welcome to A Tasty Week, the chronicles of my goal of cooking with at least one new ingredient every week.
I came up with this idea this morning wandering through the Dupont Circle farmer’s market on a Sunday morning, looking at all the interesting and locally-produced goods, wondering “what could I do with that?” or more often “how would I even begin to prepare that?”
I think this will be an exciting way for me to explore fresh and interesting ingredients, and I hope you’ll enjoy the journey. This endeavor also gets some inspiration from my friend Carol’s blog, Alinea at Home (the follow-on of The French Laundry at Home), where she takes on cooking some really exciting stuff from some really challenging cookbooks.
Coming up this week: parsnips!
Other purchases from the farmer’s market: arugula, gorgonzola and walnut ravioli
