Kale

The rise of kale shown here is no surprise. But I'll speak up for escarole . . . I love making Italian wedding soup. Wedge salads using iceberg lettuce have been on many take-out menus during the p...

I make variations of this dish a lot with whatever I have on hand, the typical dried herb I use is thyme. This time I added a little dried sage and not a pinch but a chunk of saffron threads. I a...

I'm going to try my hand at making ribollita as a first course for 12 people and have been studying a number of recipes. I want to make an all vegetable version, such as this one from Lidia Bastia...

My comfort food fix during the lockdown, funny enough, is a simple kale salad with cherry tomatos and a few walnuts. I've been trying to experiment by adding dried herbs and some combination of: ba...

My understanding is that you should use your best quality olive oil and honey for salads, but only mid-range quality vinegar. Is this correct? The highest quality balsamic vinegar is aged 25+ year...

There's an amazing Singapore urban farming company called Sustenir that supplies airtight, prewashed 125g bags of kale with the stems on to the Cold Storage grocery across the street from me. I hav...

hey, pretty self explanatory title. I put some baby kale in a nonstick pan, added a splash of water, covered it and when as soon as i took the unseasoned kale out the pan, i noticed there was this ...

My family likes quiche with spinach, so am hoping it's not too much of a leap to swap in kale! But I can only find recipes calling for fresh kale, and I want to use the frozen product. Could anyo...

I found this an interesting opinion piece on the words used when we talk about food. And, how words in the food world don't actually mean what you think they do. Originally published in the Was...

Does anyone know how to make this? There's kale, some kind of tofu product (okara), garlic, sesame oil. There's something in the sauce I can't make out. I don't think they cook/blanch the kale.

I love kale but need some ideas for seasoning as I have tended to do same old, same old simple recipe. Ideas?

Can you post or provide a link to your favorite recipe for cooked kale? Thanks.

I grew up in the Post WWII 50's and 60's and dinner vegetables were 99% of the frozen persuasion. My mom was a really talented cook but , like many of her peers, her creativity focused on the dinne...

I saw bags of this new-to-me vegetable and made them for the first time tonight. They're a cross between brussels sprouts and kale, which seems a little gimmicky, but I liked them better than eithe...

I'm not sure if it's me but it seems the rave over kale seems to have fizzled out? Are people still cooking/eating it? I did a few recipes trying to incorporate it into my dishes and diet but I ...

We love almost all vegetables, but we don't get this (for us) recent raw kale love. We get that it's a nutrient-rich green, but raw is just too chewy, even chiffonade'd. Even stewed or steamed, i...

We will be away for a bit and I have all this cooked kale. There was a little bit of vinegar in the recipe so it might keep in the fridge till we return but not sure of that so if I can freeze it ...

I am doing this farm share thing this summer and I have to use this stuff before it rots. Week 1 included the following: Berkshire Pork Chops - 2 per pack, appx 1 # Ramp Linguine - 1 # Pastur...

Cooks and restaurant management seem just as subject to trends as other industries. What trends have you noticed? Here are some trends I have observed: The discontinuation of the spoon. You r...

I am stumped as are all my neighbors. I have eaten it, so apparently it does not kill humans. Muchas gracias amigitos! and apologies ahead of time for the startlingly old hand.
