What's Goin' On

Where oh where did the summer go? It's almost over..oy vey!

I am excited to say that I have an editor for the book that I am writing "Kosher Soul Gourmet", now I just have to finish. The book is moving along...

Since I have been started the cooking demos in Harlem, I have been getting rave reviews on the salads that I have been making during the demos. The kids that try samples are loving the salads and if I can please kids I must be on to something! I am going to put all of my soul filled salad recipes from the summer into the KSG book (though I will post a salad recipe every once in awhile) and the rest of the recipes will be put into a free e-book just for you. The recipes are so easy and delicious, trust...

If you will be in Harlem on Saturday, stop by the Grassroot Farmer's Market (on 145th and Edgecomb). I think that I will be making quesadillas with tortillas made from Hot Bread Kitchen this week. FYI: Hot Bread Kitchen is more than a bakery. It's a business that enhances the future for immigrant women and preserves baking traditions. (www.hotbreadkitchen.org). The bakery also sells their luscious breads at the market each week.

Peace,love, and soul,

Squash & Tomato Salad

Yesterday I did a cooking demo at the Farmer's Market in Harlem on 145th Street. I had to improvise because it was my first demo at the market and I did not know what the farmer's would be bringing. I ended up making an easy squash and tomato salad which turned out to be a big hit. There is nothing finer than healthy kosher soul food!


Salad:
Plum Tomatoes
Yellow Squash (also called Summer Squash)
Red Onion

Dressing:
Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Cut the tomatoes, squash, and onion to your liking (if you prefer tomatoes add more tomatoes, if you prefer more squash add more squash and so forth). Mix the olive oil and balsamic vinegar together to your liking. Drizzle the dressing on the vegetables, give the salad a quick toss. Enjoy.



Nosh on,
