Heirloom Season

This morning I got up at 7am, biked all three bridges of lower Manhattan (BKLYN/MANHATTAN/WMSBRG), cruised to the farmers’ market, and bought these beautiful locally-grown heirloom tomatoes. I showed them to a customer at the cafe I work at on 74th street, and in defense of their gorgeous tie-dyed skin, she cried, “How beautiful! Please don’t juice them!”

About Growing Chefs

Vegetarian and local and organic, oh my! Growing Chefs was founded in 2005 as a way to teach kids (and their parents!) about the delicious, wonderful ways in which food gets from the soil to the kitchen. Annie's love of plants is translated here into recipes using local ingredients and ideas from wherever she travels. Annie's philosophy is simple: "Broccoli is not boring!" Annie can be emailed at annie@growingchefs.org.
