Probability I'll watch #BridgetJonesBaby: 1% Probability I'll make #BridgetJonesSalmon again: 💯% According to the text in #OttolenghiSimple, in the movie, Patrick Dempsey's character tells Renee Zellweger's character this is the dish he would get for her at an #Ottolenghi restaurant. So, the Ottolenghi crew went ahead and crafted the recipe for the real world to enjoy! Yes, I posted these yesterday, but this dish was so #simple and so delicious (and the photos are so nice), it deserved its own post. . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook #bridgetjones

Hateful discourse has largely driven me off of Facebook. Even groups where I was expecting to find people uplifting others (a few dedicated to living plastic-free or lower waste come to mind) were filled with negativity. But there is one Facebook group that has been a sanctuary in the chaos: a private Yotam Ottolenghi-inspired group of cooks from around the world. Each year wraps up with a holiday gift exchange; preserved lemons and rose harissa traveling around the world. Grateful to my #YOfriend for sending me the most recent #Ottolenghi release and excited for a year of more online community. Already made several recipes, including the Bridget Jones's Pan-Fried #Salmon with Pine Nut Salsa. It was #delicious, as I expected. (Thanks for organizing the exchange, @culyzaar!) . . . . . . . . #YotamOttolenghi #OttolenghiSimple #cookOttolenghi #YOinspired #icookedottolenghi #ottolenghigroupies #Ottolenghicookbooks #OttolenghiRecipes #cookitathome #homecook #bridgetjonessalmon #pinenuts #ottolenghicookbook

Just found these photos and realized I had not ever posted them: my favorite #mural in Phoenix, a history of farming in south Phoenix. What would murals like this look like on farms across the country? @theorchardcommunity #southphoenix #farmworkers #Phoenix #phoenixeats #phoenixfarms #phœnixhistory . . . . . . . . . #streetart #foodart #art #phoenixart #PHX #southPHX #PHXart #PHXeats #muralart #Phoenixgardens #historyofphoenix #spacesofopportunity #southPhoenixgardens #southPhoenixfarms

Wow! @goshenfarmersmarket farmers, @rachel.thewedge, @annasbread and @goshenbrewing sure can make a #charcuterieboard! A beautiful and delicious way to raise money for the #farmersmarket. Oh, and that's a big slice of chocolate pumpkin #cake too! . . . . . . . . #charcuterie #farmersmarkets #breadandcheese #appetizers #pickledveggies #pickledvegetables #assortedmeat #happyhour #goshenindiana #downtownGoshen #eatseasonal #eattherainbow #eatlocal #eattherainbow🌈 #eatfoodmostlyplants #eatlocalfood #localfoods #locallygrown #locallyraised #yumyum #foodstagram #eatlocally #GoshenEats #goodfood

What a lot of #cake! @goshencollege can really bake AND decorate! @goodlibrary cake contest entries included a Swedish princess cake from the @britishbakeoff recipe, a tres leches cake, and multiple other amazing pieces of sweetness. . . . . . . . #cakes #cakestagram #bakingmagic #bakeityourself #somanycakes #cakeday

@goodlibrary is hosting a #cake contest. Instead of narrowing down what cake to bake and enter, I made three. Clockwise from top: lemon-blueberry stripe cake from @ottolenghi's #sweetcookbook, chocolate fudge cake from #ottolenghithecookbook, and apple olive oil cake with maple icing, also from Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. . . . . . . . . #ottolenghi #yotamottolenghi #bakingmagic #kingarthurflour #makeitathome #cakecontest #cakeday #cakes #stripecake #chocolatecake #bakeityourself #bakingday #cake #cakesofinstagram #cakery #cakes🎂 #bakeoff #cakestagram #cakecakecake #bake #bakeottolenghi #baker #bakes #sweets

Another good day for soup. Creamy butternut squash soup with glazed chestnuts that add a fun pop of sweetness and flavor to a classic soup. Recipe from #simpletospectacular by @chefjgv and @markbittman. All major ingredients purchased from local producers/farmers. . . . . . . . . . #Butternut #butternutsquash #butternutsquashsoup #chestnuts #soup #souperday #soupweather #eatseasonal #eatlocal #eatlocally #eattherainbow #eattherainbow #supportlocal #supportlocalfarmers #foodwithflavor #homecook #homecooking #makeitathome #homechef

Rainy and dreary outside = time for soup inside! Finally getting to use Jerusalem artichokes (aka #sunchokes) and make @ottolenghi and @sami_tamimi's recipe for Jerusalem artichoke and arugula soup. #Jerusalemartichokes and #arugula from #SustainableGreens, #greenonions from #FullCircleFarm. . . . . . . . #ottolenghicookbook #ottolenghirecipe #ottolenghi #icookottolenghi #sunchokes #eatlocal #locallygrown #soup #souperday #scallions #eatseasonal #vegetables #local #seasonal #vegetarian #sunchokesoup #sunchoke #Jerusalemartichoke #localproduce #seasonalproduce

Community Exchange in #Phoenix has found a way to get the backyard farmer's flowers, homeowners' decorative citrus, and micro-growers' greens and tomatoes to market. Gardening for yourself, but have more zucchini than you can handle? Take it to @community.exchange.table_ It would be amazing to see markets across the country mimic this model.

This morning I was missing being able to get fresh, local figs and dates in Phoenix, but then I went to the @goshenfarmersmarket and #chestnut season has begun! I sure couldn't get those in Phoenix; there are great things everywhere. #chestnuts #localfoods #farmersmarket

It's happening! I'm experiencing Midwestern fall for the first time in four years! How about you, @gingertopize? #autumn🍁 #leaves

Colorado has been a wonderful place to see two friends married and for gorgeous weather and views. (Not so great for trying to conduct interviews with sources when there's no cell phone reception and spotty wifi. Whoops.) Now, back to the Midwest. #Colorado #nathrop #fallweather
