A couple weeks ago City Pages published a terrific article about supporting family farms by signing up for summer produce.
I learned all about the author/accomplished chef's experitse at sautee-ing things in garlic and olive oil.
Also, she HATES: turnips, collards, squash, and celery root. I had to write to thank her.
A letter to the editor of City Pages:
Dear Editors,
I realize that not everyone can be Dara Moskowitz, but the author of last week's piece was more than a little off the mark. Next time you are looking for someone to write about fresh, locally-grown produce, perhaps you can find a writer who is more 'accomplished' than a culinary troglodyte with the palate of an imbecile. No, wait. That's a bit harsh. I live with a troglodytic imbecile and, unlike your columnist, he likes squash, turnips, and collards. And he's only 3. And he's a CAT.
Whatever the problem your "accomplished chef" has with her own food aversions, it would have been nice if she had kept those to herself and had instead offered some information about fresh greens and vegetables that didn't have to be
drown in oil and garlic.
