Gilded Fork at Home™

Jennifer and I recently prepared a dinner for 8 people in a luxury loft in SoHo, and it was the first of our new Gilded Fork At Home™ customized tasting dinners.

The menu was a special combination of our Gilded Fork recipes paired with wines that the host wanted to feature from his cellar.

Farmer's Market Saturday Returns!

The Inwood Hill Greenmarket is back for the year, and we've got good news! The Community Board approved the market to stay open year-round. So as long as the farmer's have something to bring to us, we'll have the market every Saturday.



Most of our old favorites are back, including Hawthorne Farms, Eklund Farms, Di Paola Turkey Farms, and Madura farms, and I got some great audio from several of them, as well as Market Manager Chris Gatto for the Greenmrket report on upcoming podcasts.

"The creamiest dreamiest soft ice cream you get from Mr Softee
For a refreshing delight supreme look for Mister Softee.
My milk shakes and my sundaes and my cones are such a treat
Listen for my store on wheels ding-a-ling down the street.
S-O-F-T double E, Mister Softee!"
