To Market, To Market

Fresh food and finds

Springtime, when the farmers markets come alive with fresh fruits and vegetables, makes me want to eat healthier. So I was really excited to get Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook Ultimate Veg: Easy & Delicious Meals for Everyone

Once again, Jamie has written a book packed with easy and delicious recipes. I have always loved his nononsense approach to food, and this time is no different. I can’t wait to try the Brilliant Bhaji Burger with Coriander Yogurt, Mango Chutney, Crunchy Poppadom Sprinkle. No Nonsense

Live Well Lumen is the first in the world to juice USDA organic hemp. By cold-pressing hemp, you get all of the benefits that the plant has to offer, not just the CBD.

This new superfood is selectively combined with other potent medicinal plants into wellness shots with distinct functions. Lumen knows exactly where their hemp comes from because they grow it themselves. By growing regeneratively, beyond organic standards, Lumen is working to repair and improve farm ecosystems to leave them better than they found them. Order Lumen drink shots at kitchentoke.com

RADISHES The first sign of spring at any farmers market. Serve radishes dipped in butter with some sea salt.

In Season

CARROTS

Bake carrots whole in the oven with some butter and honey for an amazing side dish. Or simply eat raw dipped in homemade ranch dressing.

I LOVE

Avocado and rosemary ribbons This is Brennan is a U.S. company that hand dyes their fabrics with colors sourced from plants, like avocado, rosemary, pomegranate, and more. They make the most beautiful children’s clothing and scarves. I picked up these stunning silk ribbons at a market in Las Vegas. $10, thisisbrennan.com

GREEN BEANS

My favorite way to serve is green beans is to sauté with butter, shallots, and garlic. Cut lengthwise to add to salads and cheese boards.

RAINBOW CHARD These colors always make me happy. Slice thinly and sauté chard with red onion, garlic, pine nuts, and some chicken stock. Serve on top of sliced, roasted chicken.

Cocktails in a can I must admit I was a little skeptical, but after tasting cocktails in a can from L.A.-based Vervet, I'm a total fan. Everything is made from real ingredients, from bitters to vermouth. That’s why they taste like a freshly made craft cocktail. My favorite is the Tiki Tea. drinkvervet.com
