Late Summer Bounty at Union Square
Three of the many reasons why I like the Union Square greenmarket in late summer.
I'm not entirely sure why but I love photographs of food markets. I should stop looking at all the food blogs now because it's late and I don't need to be eating.
I know what you mean. What I love about green markets in particular is the way they reflect the rhythm of the seasons. The first corn and the first tomatoes are so welcome, and the late ones so bittersweet, reminding you that winter is coming. I guess pictures just let you hold on to these moments.
This blog records my thoughts and experiences relating to cooking, eating, restaurants, food products and ingredients, kitchen equipment and other matters relating to cuisine.
I do not offer reviews of New York restaurants; there are already enough reviewers and points of view. I will, however, discuss things that I discover at restaurants that may be of interest to others. I will offer brief reviews of selected Paris restaurants, as I am often asked for suggestions by people planning trips to that marvelous and beautiful city. In particular, I report from time to time on my ongoing quest for excellent, reasonably-priced restaurants in Paris; fortunately, there are many.
