First Fruits of the Harvest

First Fruits of the Harvest

Originally Posted on 12/30/2013 for Huffington Post Meatless Monday: First Fruits of the Harvest As they say in Swahili, “Habari gani?” This translates into a combination of “How are you?” and “What’s shakin’?” It’s about the limits of my Swahili, but it’s useful now, being the traditional greeting at Kwanzaa. Any holiday that takes its…

Posted originally on 01/06/2014  for Huffington Post Meatless Monday in the City of Pleasant Living To start the new year off right, a true story in which the seemingly impossible comes to pass — and in my ‘hood, of all places.

Summer Surprised Us

September 14, 2011 by Ellen Kanner 4 Comments

“Summer surprised us,” writes T.S. Eliot. The phrase comes early in “The Wasteland’ and it surprises the reader, too, already so lost in the poem’s rich layers as to be startled by these five simple syllables that come in the seventh line. Summer always surprises me, especially September, which I still associate with fall, with…

Hopping John

December 15, 2009 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Call me a bit of a rebel, I’m not a big on holiday traditions. For obvious reasons, I’m fine with a turkeyless Thanksgiving. I’m likewise fine with a treeless Christmas, a menorahless Chanukah. I do like New Year’s though, with champagne on New Year’s Eve and hopping john New Year’s Day. There is nothing glamorous…

Ghent — On Board for Vegetarian Day

Heretical Vegetable Tagine With Turnips

March 9, 2009 by Ellen Kanner 2 Comments

What you’ll probably never see on a Gourmet cover — “Our top ten turnip recipes!”  Face it, turnips are no one’s favorite vegetable (are they yours?  Talk to me.).  And yet they’re as much a part of the vegetable kingdom as the more popular potato, they’re almost indestructible, they last for ages, the staple of…

Ital Vital Farmers Market Caribbean Stew

March 3, 2009 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

In his poem, “To His Coy Mistress,” metaphysical poet Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) wrote, “Had we but world enough and time/My vegetable love would grow/Vast as empires and more slow.”  By this, he meant in a perfect world, we’d have the luxury of time and a love that would grow exponentially, organically, unfolding and revealing itself…

Lovely for Lent Black-Eyed Peas With Fennel and Kale

February 26, 2009 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Some people (and you know who you are) do not share recipes.   It’s time to give, darlings. Wouldn’t you rather be known as a big-hearted person who shares the wealth?   And even if you write out your prized recipe in painstaking detail, your friend’s version will come out different.  Different stove, different cookware,…
