Foxhollow Farm Overnight Roast

This dish hails from Foxhollow Farm’s very own Maggie Keith.  It is one of those fantastically flexible recipes which translates more as a concept rather than a strict, by the book process.  The main ingredient is slow, slow cooking.  And, of course, one of Foxhollow’s beautiful, grass-fed, sirloin tip roasts.  I tucked my roast into the oven just before tucking …

Farmer’s Market Hash

I have no idea why it took me so long to commit to a CSA.  Short for Community Supported Agriculture, I wrote a check to a local farmer named Pavel in April.  In exchange, he promised to provide me with farm-fresh, chemical-free veggies raised with organic and biodynamic farming methods in mind.  While the amount of the check felt a bit hefty in …

Uova da Raviolo with Truffles

I remember when I was a little girl and I absolutely refused to eat the yolk of an egg.  My Mom would always cook our eggs sunny-side-up, the yolk medium set.  My little hands would cut around that yellow-orange mystery ball with incredible precision, being ever so cautious to ensure that the whisper-thin seal did not break, pouring over my silky-sheen egg …
