In the North Fork, Fall is announced as much by the winter squashes at roadside farmstands as the changing leaves. We have so many different types of squash out here, but one of my favorites is Kabocha. It is a Japanese squash but Caribbean cooks also use it. It’s smaller than most squashes – slightly larger [...]

Low-Cal Pumpkin Soufflé

I love Thanksgiving and Pumpkins and anything made with Pumpkin but often times these are not the easiest on our waistlines. This is why I love this pumpkin dessert which I serve instead of pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving or other special autumnal dinners. I use Carriage Pumpkin or Cheese Pumpkin which is smoother and less [...]

Despite the recent chill, I am starting to see signs of spring everywhere; whether it’s the sound of birds in the morning as I leave my house or the Rhododendrons springing back from hibernation on the North Fork. But I want to embrace what’s left of winter and start to wonder what winter vegetables I’ll [...]

The leaves on the North Fork don’t really change until the end of October with colors piquing in November. The farmstands along Routes 25 and 48 are packed with miles of pumpkins of all different types and sizes. I love anything made with pumpkin, especially at breakfast.
If you have a chance to head out to the North Fork, stop at any of our farmstands and pick up a cheese pumpkin for a pumpkin bread to serve in place of coffee cake for breakfast with some delicate Spinach-baked eggs.

Stilton log and goat cheese log with toasted pumpkin seeds

Cheese logs or balls have definitely made a comeback. They are the first thing to evaporate from a cheese display during our events. I find that it’s best to make one mild and one a bit sharper. Goat cheese is a perfect solution for the mild cheese log and can be beautifully accented with toasted [...]
