This is just not fair! Three of my favorites (Bywater, Veritas, and Acorn Hill) all together ... and I'm working, aarrghh!
Any chance those of us impoverished by non-attendence can get menu details and thereby experience some…

Mmm, looks like simple is better, but then isn't it mostly. If you make this one Todd post how it turns out so I can add it to the possible recipes for goat kidney. Bonn appetit.
Meghan, does your friend Bryan have any goat organ specific…

I asked my friend Bryan Mayer, who apprenticed at Fleisher's. He recommended pan-searing slices as you would foie gras or roasting whole. I found this recipe, which looks tasty and not "brown-sauce goopy"…

Hey Joyce (btw, loved the Ricotta we got from you at Winter Sun!). I found a bunch of kidney pie plus steak and kidney pie recipes. I got them from "the google" so they should be good, but they all sound kind of brown-sauce goopy. I'm…

Being vegetarian I can't help directly but I have been meaning to find recipes for goat kidney since I have some for sale... first thought was kidney pie...
What to do with lamb kidney?
We've got a portioned half-lamb from Awesome Farms in the freezer. Our share included a lamb kidney. So, let me ask: Any ideas/recipes/suggestion for what to do with lamb kidney?

Thanks Cheryl, for both the kind words about the local food articles and for posting on Facebook. The more we can let the world know about Hudson Valley bounty the better it'll be for everyone. I really enjoyed that in addition to interviewing…
Cheryl Paff commented on Todd Essig's blog post 'FYI, something about the problem of getting local foods to local tables at True/Slant.'
I read those articles and thought they were so good I posted them on Facebook.
Thanks.

Thanks Joyce, glad you took a look. The "system" really is set up to make it harder rather than easier to eat the food we can actually see growing ... and Meghan, you raise an interesting issue. My sense is that NYC makes it a bit easier…
Joyce Henion commented on Todd Essig's blog post 'FYI, something about the problem of getting local foods to local tables at True/Slant.'
Great articles and many good points made. It is amazing that folks drive by food sources daily but don't know quite how to connect. Connection really is the bottom line...
Meghan E. Murphy commented on Todd Essig's blog post 'FYI, something about the problem of getting local foods to local tables at True/Slant.'
Thanks Todd. I look forward to reading! One thing that fascinates me about the Hudson Valley is that the NYC set has an easier time getting our local food than we do! That's one of the reason's I started HVFN.

I just posted a series of articles on True/Slant about problems sourcing local foods. Many of our favorite Hudson Valley farmers are mentioned, and there is an extensive interview with Stephanie Turco of Veritas Farms. I hope you all will take a look, tell your friends, and maybe (I hope!) leave some comments.
