ou often see culinary shows, books and bloggers talking about ingredient driven cooking, local organic products and farm to table. As you shop, choose a restaurant or cook at home you probably have tried to live up to these expectations. Most of the time people following recommendations do not have the time to think about the reason or logic of market trends. As a professional chef and restaurateur I am always looking for inspiration and innovation in my cooking. However, I decided to take a step back to basics to reflect on my up-bringing, family traditions and more importantly, how we apply our life experiences to our cooking. My mother made the best old fashion doughnuts. I have tried numerous times to make them as good as she did but failed every time.
When Chef Meets the Farmer! By Andrea Corcoran – Samba Café and Inn I follow the exact recipe, but obviously it is not the same hands on the dough. The fact is that just a recipe may not be enough, cooking style could be the secret ingredient. Modern pastry technique alone could not produce the same quality results compared to my mother’s natural gift as a home baker. I studied at the renowned French Culinary Institute where some of the best and most successful chefs have learned how to cook. Though that gave them great skills, most manage to apply their talent and emotions to food on their own. Sometimes a few simple fresh ingredients can make the best dish you ever tasted. That is why I would like to share with you my day at the Union Square Farmer’s Market. I was shopping when I spotted the farmers from Sullivan County. I paused to think. I know what it takes to be ready at 8 am, 2 hours packing the truck, another 2 hours drive, possible 2 hours to setup and hopefully, if you are lucky, people will come to shop. As a vendor for three years at the Harvest Festival at Bethelwoods, I understand how difficult it is to be ready to work on-time rain or shine. The rising costs of running a farm, taxes, working sometimes seven days a week, and don’t forget about the weather that could ruin everything. This takes shopping local and farm to table to a whole new level. When you begin to comprehend what it takes to produce something from the ground up, it makes a lot
more sense to consume products made right next door. When I stop to think about the journey of the potatoes from Mountain Berry, the artisan cheese and milk from Tonjes Dairy, the beautiful produce from Channery Hill and the great meats and sausages from Hilly Acres, I felt that I should show my appreciation. Most of the time, we usually open a box, pour it out, it’s easy. Try picking blueberries from a bush to make a pie or tending to the live stock and farm animals in sub-zero temperatures. I realized it is not about the money, farming is about the family, it was created before capitalism. The reason why their products are so amazing is because they are made with love, pride and dedication, which are essential ingredients to the food we eat and without them our dishes would have been without ‘flavor’. It is not about feeding the body, but entertaining the heart and soul, allowing our recipes to outlive generations. I was happy to see them selling their products at the Green Markets in New York City. I am glad more people can enjoy the best of Sullivan County and I would like to see more opportunities for them at gourmet markets and specialty stores. It is nice to find Brey’s eggs sold at a local neighborhood store in Manhattan. To be sustainable means to have a commitment to our community. Furthermore we must find better ways to market and distribute our local products. We have to create incentives for small growers and boutique productions. Great business ideas came from garages, but most delicious ideas always come from our home and backyard. I wish there were more drive by farm stands, a neat way to meet the farmer and explore the farmland. Spring is finally here, whether or not you are the chef in the kitchen or a foodie, you can always be ingredient driven, choose organic, shop local from farm to table and support the family farm. You may find most of the ingredients at your local farmers market These recipes were inspired by: Tonjes Dairy Farm – Jeffersonville NY Hilly Acres Farm – Jeffersonville NY Brey’s Eggs Farm – Jeffersonville NY Channery Hill Farm – Callicoon Center NY Mountain Berry Farm – Roscoe NY

EGGS EN COCOTTE (4 servings) This recipe allows many variations, as is an elegant, simple and the perfect dish for a weekend brunch! 8 eggs 2 cups of finely chopped tomatoes ½ cup of olive oil (or 8 tbsp or butter) Pinch of Salt Red pepper flakes 1 cup of cream 1 cup of grated artisan style comte or gruyere cheese Fresh basil
CIDER GLAZED SAUSAGES (4 servings) Simple, easy and good for any occasion! 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp of butter 4 pork or beef sausages 1 cup apple cider/juice. 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar ½ cup of apple sauce 1 tsp of tomato paste 1 pinch of salt
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Place 4 oven proof dishes or ramekins on a baking sheet. Divide equally all ingredients starting with the olive oil or butter and chopped tomatoes. Season them with salt and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Remove dishes from the oven, break 2 whole eggs over the tomatoes, spoon-in cream, do not over fill or break yolks and top them with grated cheese. Place them back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes (egg whites are set and yolks are loose) or if you like your eggs firm bake them until bubbly, golden brown. Garnish them with fresh basil and serve with butter finger toasts or country bread.
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a heavy pan, cast iron works best, over medium heat add olive oil. Place sausages in the pan and let them cook on both sides until golden and brown. Add apple cider/juice and apple cider vinegar. Finish cooking in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Remove sausages from the pan, set aside. Place pan back on the stove for 5 minutes to make a sauce with the reduced liquid by adding a pinch of salt, apple sauce and tomato paste. Turn-off the heat, add butter. Serve them with potatoes and root vegetables.
PAN ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES & POTATOES (4 servings) The best farm to table dish in America! 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp of butter ½ cup of white wine Fresh thyme 2 pounds of root vegetable mix (fingerling potatoes, carrots, beets, leeks, chipollini onions and green garlic) Lemon zest. Fresh parsley Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut root vegetables in quarters or half so they look approximately the same size. In a heavy pan, cast iron works best, over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter, add vegetables. Sauté gently to avoid breaking or burning the vegetables. Try to keep their original and natural look as much as possible. Cook for 10-15 minutes, add wine and cover with foil. Finish cooking in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Garnish with lemon zest and parsley. A great side dish for grilled meats and fish.

In a heavy pan, over medium heat, combine orange juice and sugar to form light syrup, add fruit, cinnamon, salt and liqueur. Slowly stir all ingredients for about 5 minutes. This is not a preserve, do not overcook the fruit. Serve it warm over vanilla ice cream or pound cake and garnish with fresh mint.
TART FLAMBEE (4 servings) The Parisian style flat bread pizza! Store bought pizza dough (1 pound) or enough for 4 individual pizzas, or flat bread (pita bread). ½ cup of flour to rollout pizza dough. 1 cup of Fromage Blanc or sour cream 1 cup of smoked bacon 1 cup of white onions cut into ½ slices Fresh thyme Pinch of salt and pepper 1 cup of grated artisan style comte or gruyere cheese ½ pound of baby arugula 1 radish grated 2 tbsp of olive oil. 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In a heavy pan, over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, remove it from pan, drain and set aside. Slowly cook onions in the pan with the bacon fat until golden brown. Season with thyme, salt, pepper and set aside. Dust a clean counter top with flour, rollout pizza dough and divide into 4 portions. Place dough on a baking sheet, spread the Fromage Blanc, topped with bacon, onions and grated cheese. Bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove them from the oven, serve with baby arugula and grated radish salad. Dress salad with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.
