Quick, while we still have watermelon! This is Watermelon-Lime Granita, which my campers and I made up during cooking camp this summer. Frosty-cold, refreshing and super easy to make! Link in my bio for the recipe 😋😋😋 . . . #adventurekitchen #watermelon🍉 #granita #endofsummerparty #eatlocal #eatlocalgrown #farmersmarketfresh #jerseyfresh #jerseyfreshlove
The world may be insisting that summer is just about over, but I say NO WAY, people! I’m staking my claim to this season of grilling and partying with this dish. Grilled peaches 🍑 with Aleppo-tequila honey sauce. . First, we need to talk about that SAUCE. Holy Toledo. Sweet from the honey, tart from the lime, tequila-ey from the tequila, and zingy with a hint of smoke from the Aleppo pepper. . (If you’re new to Aleppo pepper, this is about to be your new favorite ingredient. It’s mildly spicy and a little smoky, with a whole lotta flavor. And you can snag a jar from us! 😉Link from the recipe in my bio) . So - here’s what you’re going to do: You’re going to simmer some tequila with a little water (just so it doesn’t spontaneously combust 😳) and let it reduce down nicely. Then you stir in some honey, along with Aleppo pepper flakes and some lime zest. You let all that tasty goodness mingle together, then off-heat you add a little lime juice and some more tequila (um, yeah). . Then you grill yourself some peaches and you pour that sauce aaalll over them. (I got these babies from @treeliciousorchards at the @montclair_farmersmarket 😍) . And you sit in the backyard and you share those peaches with someone special. And you toast this lovely, waning, warm season with the rest of the tequila. . . . #adventurekitchen #grilledpeaches #aleppopepper #tequila #tequilasauce #honeysauce #endofsummer #grillingrecipes #peachrecipes #backyardcooking #backyardgrilling #eatlocalnj #localpeaches #jerseyfresh #jerseyfreshlove #jerseypeaches
It’s tomato season, peeps!! All that juicy, ripe goodness, amiright? 😋😋😋 🍅 You can check out my post about tomatoes in season (with recipes!) in my bio. 🍅 And while you’re on the website, you can order yourself some Sumac & Sage Seasoning or Aleppo Pepper to sprinkle on those juicy babies (so good!). 🍅 And don’t forget, if you’re local we’ll deliver your spices right to your door for FREE, usually within 24 hours. Easy-peasy!! Just enter your local zip code as the promo code at checkout and shipping charges will magically vanish. (So cool, right?) 🍅 (And if you’re not local, no worries, we’ll still ship them the usual way. I got you!) 😉 🍅 And if you happen to stop by our booth at the @montclair_farmersmarket today we’ll treat you to free juicy samples of local tomatoes sprinkled with our spices. (So tasty!!) 🍅 And now: a shout-out to @montclaircsa where these tomatoes in the picture came from. These were the tomatoes in my CSA basket a couple years ago 😍 So pretty! 🍅 Happy tomato season!! 🍅 🍅 🍅 #adventurekitchen #tomatoes #tomatoseason #tomatolove #tomatoes🍅 #tomatorecipes #freshtomatoes #localtomatoes #heirloomtomatoes #spiceshop #spices
It’s hot hot HOT this weekend, and you’re going to want to get yourself some frosty cold @spicepops . (These are Hibiscus-Mint Lime and they’re super tasty!)

And if not - you can make them yourself! You can get all the recipes at the link in my bio. .

My final post of last week’s Adventure Camp, with lots of pics of the kids! (Coming soon: pics from this week) . Our Culinary Adventure Camp is all about experiencing the real food of real people, in the real world. We use public transportation (and do a LOT of walking) to make our way through NYC, meet new people and eat great food. . The first pic is all of our shoes, on the High Line (elevated park) on Thursday. . Second pic is all of us at @sigiri_nyc , a Sri Lankan restaurant where we had fish rolls. . Other restaurant pics are Grill 21 (Filipino halo halo dessert) and @oldtbilisigarden (Georgian lunch). . Other pics are: . Chillin at Washington Square Park . Walking down the street, with the Empire State Building in the distance . Completely unplanned stop at @stickysfingerjoint we stumbled onto . Walking through the entry to the Irish Hunger Memorial downtown (another spur of the moment stop) . Eating chicken fingers in Chinatown . Throwing coins in the fountain at @the_met_museum_of_art (another unplanned stop that just happened to work out) . The kids were great, and we had a total blast all week! . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj
Scenes from our visit to @itsteranga_ on Friday. Teranga is the restaurant founded by @chefpierrethiam within the brand-new @theafricacenter , which is right at the northernmost eastern corner of Central Park in Harlem. . I first met Chef Pierre a few years ago at a tasting and talk he gave at @mofad about Senegalese food. (If you want to learn more, check out either of his two cookbooks: Senegal or Yolele.) . Teranga is a really great, casual place to hang out and enjoy authentic Pan-African food. It feels like a comfortable part of the neighborhood, with couches, murals on the walls, and people using the WiFi to get work done. . The menu was designed by Chef Pierre to be both authentic and accessible at the same time. You build-your-own plate or bowl by ordering a little of this and a little of that over a glass counter. Even though it’s casual counter service, they’ve made a point to use no disposables, with metal forks and trays, enameled metal dishes and glasses for water. . This first pic was my plate: chicken, watermelon salad, collards and fonio with peanut sauce. Fonio is an ancient Senegalese grain that Chef Pierre has been working to introduce to this country. You can find it at New York area Whole Foods, and Chef tells me it’ll be available at more locations soon. (Can’t wait!) 😋 . . . #adventurekitchen #adventurecamp #summercamp #senegalesefood #africanfood #fonio #nyceats #montclair #montclairnj
