Here's a favorite spring dish that's perfect for the early Michigan produce season; a dish that gives the radish the star status she so richly deserves.
Have you heard about the new Dixboro Farmers' Market on Ann Arbor's northeast side, and the Cobblestone Farmers' Market on the south side? With these two new markets starting up soon, Ann Arbor is getting close to having a farmers' market option every day of the week.
Saturday marks the start of the outdoor farmers market season in Chelsea, Ypsilanti's Depot Town, Dexter and Saline.
A program that doubles the value of food stamps when they're used at farmers markets in Michigan has proven to be a win-win for farmers and low-income consumers, according to an Ann Arbor-based nonprofit.
Jim explained a Roxbury Russet apple to our friend Jay. "It’s small, and very, very hard, and covered with a brownish sandpapery skin." Replied Jay, "What you’ve described is the worst advertisement for an apple that I’ve ever heard." But don’t be fooled by the exchange. A Roxbury Russet apple ...
The first snow shower of the year is a reminder that "Winter is icumen in," as poet Ezra Pound wrote. Thanksgiving and Christmas are creeping up on us, and it's time to get ready for "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire," on the radio for sure, but at the Farmer's ...
The Michigan football team is unbeaten and ranked No. 19 entering Big Ten play, yet that's not good enough for coach Brady Hoke. He's looking for better consistency, particularly on defense, as the Wolverines (4-0) kick off their Big Ten slate Saturday against Minnesota (Noon, BTN).
For one or two weeks every August, my husband, Richard, and I rent a house in Emmet County, Michigan (on the Northwest side of the lower peninsula) and invite our kids to visit. Roadside stands, farmer's markets and shops selling fish - who previously made the Great Lakes their home - pop up seemingly from nowhere. It's a pleasure buying the local items and conversing with the vendors.
Peggy Lampman's Thursday dinnerFeed The final days of August are enveloped in an atmosphere of quiet anticipation. It's as if our town has come to a screeching halt and sits idling, waiting for the light to change, indicating the seasonal shift to fall. Perhaps this is a feeling shared with ...
Okay, once again I'm going to seem pretentious. But Tom and I made a fabulous pasta dish over the weekend, and simply calling it "Angel Hair Pasta with Purple Basil" does not begin to do it justice!

Is there a more perfect summer food than a ripe tomato? And is there any better way to eat one than in a tomato sandwich? I know many people — myself included! — who wait all year long for the joy of biting into this deliriously simple but splendid delicacy. ...
In their twisting palate of yellow, orange and green, squash blossoms never fail to seduce. And what better way to appreciate them then by eating them? After all, they shrivel within a day or two after plucking from the vine.
Peggy Lampman's Thursday dinnerFeed Slender zucchini, nuanced in green; scalloped pattypans, dazzling bursts of sunshine; crookneck squash in swishy lemon-lime swirls, nestled in containers like gaggles of goslings — Ralph Lauren’s summer lineup of clothing could never compete with nature’s tasteful collection of summer squash. And the babies — ah, ...
Peggy Lampman's Tuesday dinnerFeed I made pesto on Friday and plenty remains to make an easy supper this evening. When there's a batch of homemade pesto in my fridge, I could easily eat well — using pesto as a key ingredient — for almost a week. I never tire of ...
