Breakfast Crepes à la Ben Davis

Don’t be intimidated; crepes are easy to make. They will taste as good as the eggs you use. Adapted from a recipe in Piper Davis and Ellen Jackson’s The Grand Central Baking Book, these crepes are a delightful way to begin your day.




Postcards from Berry Camp

But for now, at the height of summer, we have the chance to indulge in eating berries fresh every day. This year, let’s take the time not only to enjoy our local crop, but also to regard what we eat as more than just a “blackberry” or “raspberry.” We can question vendors at farmers’ markets about the different cultivars and discover our own favorites. We can explore berry-based industries, be they producers of jams, gelatos or liqueurs, and appreciate the impact the berry industry has on our local economy. And we can acknowledge the path each berry takes from the research station to the farm to the market to our tables, where we enjoy them as berry crisp, homemade ice cream, or simply served in a bowl — fresh, juicy and unadorned.
