Autumn Fruits, October 1, 2008 |
I am a total sucker for autumn. Show me a big fat pumpkin and a couple of shiny persimmons, and my heart starts to flutter. Pomegranates make me swoon. Crunchy, fragrant apples; voluptuous pears; and clusters of frosty grapes? Bring ‘em on! |

A-Maize-ing Corn, July 7, 2007 |
Corn has a long history as one of the world’s most important crops. It is thought to have first been domesticated in Mesoamerica around 9000 years ago, and spread throughout North and South America, and eventually into Europe. At the farmers’ market, you will usually find a variety called sweet corn, which is the kind we like to boil, steam, or cook on the barbeque. |

Grains are also various seeds of grasses, called cereals, which are cultivated for food. They come in many shapes and sizes, from large kernels of popcorn to small quinoa seeds. |
