One Local Summer :: Week #2

This is my second post for the One Local Summer Challenge. The premise is to make one meal per week out of entirely local ingredients, except for salt, pepper, spices and oil.

Oh Alice Waters, you make my life and my kitchen better every day!

My entry for week two of the One Local Summer Challenge is from the pages of Alice Water's The Art of Simple Food. My husband bought me this cookbook for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. Within the next few days I'll be modifying a recipe from the book to make (local) sausage and pak choi over (non-local) fusilli pasta. YUM! On today's menu we have Turnip and Turnip Greens Soup:



Local ingredients:

Turnips and greens from Wake Robin Farm
Kate's butter
Onion...hmm don't remember!
My own thyme
Home-made chicken broth from a Lasting Legacy Farm chicken

Non-local ingredients:

Bay Leaf
Salt
