Summer Eggplant Caponata
Totally tasty. A great Summer vegetable dish to have with anything hot off the grill. So flavorful you can build a meal around it. It's sweet, it's spicy. A little salty. Just about the richest vegan dish you can imagine.

Zucchini Milanese
Less than $2 for a very big and elegant vegetable serving that could be a complete, light summer meal. Or an impressive vegetable partner for a small portion of grilled fish or chicken. Light but completely satisfying and flavorful.
Lake Peak. What a difference 50′ makes.
The difference between a gentle hike to Nambe Lake's shore. Or a pretty steep one to Lake Peak, with great views down to the lake from 1,200' above it. Either Way, you get a terrific 6-mile hike that begins 20 miles from the old plaza in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Potato Pesto Pizza
Not traditional. But it should be. Gooey mozzarella. Garlicky basil pesto. And very, very thin slices of potato on their way to chips. A simple, satisfying and totally delicious pizza for $2. Not for a slice. For the whole pizza.
The Rainbow Chard Blues. Again.
We get beautiful rainbow chard in our CSA farm share. A lot of it. Bright green leaves. Stems that are bright red, yellow, orange and magenta. But Kathy sings the blues. This year, soffrito made the chard taste good even to a chard-resister.
Ginger-Scallion Sauce. Via e-mail.
A bright, pungent, intensely flavorful sauce that transforms fish into a terrific ceviche. Dresses up any cooked vegetable, chicken or fish dish and transforms it to a refreshing, special meal. Thanks to a subscriber who cooks and writes.
