Sometimes I eat free-range, grass-fed, organic, and hormone free, but it is not something I can afford to do all of the time. I don’t eat tons of meat, but my husband does so I have to have it in the house pretty...

and meats are not even high quality (hormone, antibiotic free). If they were doing what they are advertising they do they would at least use a meat purveyor like Mazzeos to fullfill that part. Same old same old.

Ah....soon Fage will attain total domination....no longer will we be able to stomach a sickeningly sweet spoonful of Yoplait or the runny consitency of Breyer’s....we will all be FAGE-ites!!! We will chant together and make...

I've tried the local supermarkets (shaws, stop and shop) to buy some fennel for a recipe I have and can’t find any. Has anyone seen any fennel local to the Boston area? Thanks

Owen’s Poultry in Needham is pretty good. Not strictly organic, but when I inquired they claimed that they don’t use hormones or antibiotics. Haven’t had their chicken, but I did get a fresh turkey from them...

need locals to show an interest in and frequent the independent places. I've seen many great small establishments go under. Our problem in a nutshell – most folks here don’t care about good, local food. They got the...

I used to use margarine to ‘butter’ the bread for my grilled cheese sandwiches, because it was always soft out of the refrigerator. Now I've discovered I can use mayo instead.

I remember seeing posts on here about their canneles, but I walked by this place (on the corner of Solano and Peralta in Berkeley) today and saw their bakery case was empty with a sign saying "Bakery Coming Soon". Anyone know the...

Is it possible to buy good watermelon in SoCal??? I've been living here for almost 20 years. In all that time I don’t think I've ever had really good watermelon. All the watermelon I've had has had very little flavor,...

I also put them in a brown paper bag, and it works really well. But I've never added an apple—how does the apple aid the ripening?

There’s my favorite Westerly Market on 8th Ave and 54th. Predominantly a health store, they've got a great selection of organic veggies and hormone-free poultry. It’s also a great place for staples like pasta (I...

I've been buying meat from Chestnut Farms at the Arlington Farmer’s market for several months, and everything I've gotten from them has been fantastic – tasty, well-packaged, and reasonably priced. I've bought pork...

I’d suggest the BRAT diet for the next few days — bananas, rice, applesauce, or toast. Ginger ale might also help that stomach virus you've got. Get well soon.

I don’t know how the state of food shopping is in Richmond, but around Greenville, Fresh Market is the lesser of most evils. Many things may not be fresh, as implied. Pluses are: no hormone/antibiotic chicken a good cheese...

on how big it is. Fry it in a tablespoon of olive oil, dredged in a little flour so it browns and crisps, toss in a bit of garlic and seasonings, and you've got an interesting dish for about 140 calories per whole zucchini and...
