Soup of the Week: Cilantro and Coconut By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 26 2008 I'm spending a few glorious days at the cottage with my husband and son and two of his friends. Just as it has been in the City, the weather has been all over the place; hot, chilly, damp, and then some thunderstorms, so the menu choice was not so easy. They are adventurous eaters all, so I was looking for something a bit different from the usual fare. + READ MORE

Try a New Vegetable: Amaranth By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 24 2008 When my son, Hugh and I were wandering around the farmers' market last week I spied something I'd never seen before. I asked the farmer what the name of the vegetable was he and he replied "pig weed." I guess the look on my face said it all, because he added "amaranth." Hugh's hand shot out instantly to take a bunch. I was a bit surprised at his alacrity until he said with a lowered voice "Fuchsia uses it." + READ MORE

Eat the Finest Organic Popcorn By Lynda Fassa IN Food & Health Jun 24 2008 I LOVE popcorn. My kids do too. Actually, even one of my dogs loves popcorn. For me it's genetic: I'm part Native American and popcorn was a staple of our ancestral diet. (Growing up in the Midwest in the 1970's watching Laverne and Shirley and The Night Stalker, it was a staple of mine, too.) So when the sad news came out a few months back about [popcorn lung] and all the rather negative side effects of frequently inhaling nuked popcorn from the microwave (effects including Emphysema and death), I switched back to the slightly less convenient, but actually much more satisfying stove-top variety. + READ MORE

Have a Summer Get Together By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 24 2008 Here's a simple way to usher in the summer. Invite a few friends over to celebrate the Solstice with you and have an informal get together with some simple food. Head out to the wine store and get some organic wine and then make this easy hummus. We once spent the Solstice with my sister-in-law in London, England. She lived across the street from Primrose Hill, which is the highest point in London. Sure enough, come evening, Druids took over the Hill in their flowing robes and blue faces and lit a bonfire. + READ MORE

Ready, Set, Green Week Two: Eating My Way Green By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jun 23 2008 Of all the ways to go green, I'm the most excited about changing how we eat. I love cooking and baking, and have already been trying to make more meals from scratch to avoid preservatives and all those add-ins with names we can't pronounce. So I spend the whole week looking forward to my first farmer's market trip, envisioning piles of locally grown zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, fresh herbs, peaches, strawberries, and blueberries. I even collect recipes perfect for fresh summer produce, including one for a strawberry cream pie. I can't wait. + READ MORE

Pork! By Erin Hollingsworth IN Food & Health Jun 19 2008 It's a well-known fact in the [ever-more ubiquitous] foodiesphere that pork is, like, the thing. Chefs cook it; people eat it, and this proclivity towards cooking and eating pork has gone way beyond a global reverence for bacon. One such chef cooking with pork is Akasha Richmond, the chef of the new eco-focused restaurant Akasha, featured in Alter Eco. Currently Akasha's (ever-changing) menu offers a Heritage country pork chop with Sambazon acai & honey sauce, white bean puree, and wilted greens. That'll set you back $24; I don't know where you live, but California ain't cheap and Heritage pork ain't cheap either. + READ MORE

Here are resources for getting yourself a green date. + READ MORE

Harvest Lunch From Your Patio By Team Planet Green IN Food & Health Jun 19 2008 At the end of last year, I took a trip out to Barcelona to visit Kirsten and her genetically perfected child. (Ines makes the Gerber baby look like a Garbage Pail Kid.) And as we're cooking a meat-less, but delicious and protein packed lunch (see Kirsten's 15 minute lunch recipe below), she introduced me to the concept of "food miles"?or the amount of miles and energy it takes from pitchfork to dinner fork. + READ MORE

Make This Light Dessert Classic By Kelly Rossiter IN Food & Health Jun 17 2008 I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I'm not a big dessert eater. I do love berries though, so when they are in season as strawberries are now, I usually like to just wash them and pop them in my mouth. I realize that I'm not really normal in this regard so I'll give you a recipe that you can serve your family or for guests at a dinner party. This is an extremely simple, classic dessert that originally came from England and has graced many Ontario dinner tables over the years. + READ MORE
