For those of you who have been following the goings on in Persephone’s Kitchen, you’ll know most important things to me are techniques, tradition and family. I’m determined not to lose the family history that is contained in recipes handed down generation to generation. As a result, Persephone doesn’t always do the cooking. This morning, while the… Read More Sunday Dinner: Lasagna, Meatballs, Sausage and “Gravy”
Some days our family goes all veg, but it’s almost always by accident. It’s not until later in the evening when we think over what we ate that day do we realize it’s done. Meals like the one we made tonight are the main reason for it. We sometimes just don’t miss the meat. Food this good will satisfy… Read More A Vegetarian Dinner to End a Vegetarian Day

Hades and I were looking forward to the organic, grass-fed beef burgers for which Farmer Jensen is famous. While once again it managed to rain… Read More Dinner, Day One: Fall Fest at Flying J Farm
Today started off with a classic French bistro lunch made with entirely local ingredients. This was after we ran out to The Hills Market, didn’t find what we’d hoped and then scurried through the Worthington Farmer’s Market, just under the bell. Where we found just about all we’d hoped. You’ve gotta get there pretty early… Read More OH So Good Omelette

It has become a point of pride that I’ve tried to learn what I can about… Read More Brick Lane, Meet Persephone: A Seasonal, Weeknight Curry
