Food is often about color, even when it’s not really about color. But food photography, even casual food photography, is always about color. Sometimes the colors change along the way, but that’s part of the story too. This time it was the mushrooms that gave a show. five ounces of some very definitely pink oyster mushrooms …

pork mousse; venison chops, sautéed mushrooms; collards
It was a meaty dinner. The first course was a do-it-yourself project constructed around a wonderful pork mousse that had been made on a Columbia County farm, Raven & Boar, installed at the Union Square Greenmarket for the first time ever on Wednesday. where it was selling its very singular produce, farm-made pork charcuterie. a …
local hemp rigatoni with a rich king oyster mushroom sauce
Gosh, this pasta is so good. Then every other Sfoglini product is as well. It’s just that, well, hemp is pretty special, even without the absurd extra-culinary associations someone who grew up in the American no-no land is never going to shake. eight ounces out of a box of Sfoglini hemp reginetti, boiled until just before …
pasta, alliums, habanada, mushrooms, olives, parmesan
The pasta incorporated water buffalo milk, and the wine that accompanied it was from the part of Italy associated most closely with bufala, the Maremma region of Tuscany. Okay, maybe that’s not really relevant or important, but we like to think about these things, and both pasta and wine were delcious. The recipe I used was …
sea bass on a bed of mushrooms and ramps; grilled tardivo
Last night I tweeted that I had found my go-to recipe for sea bass. I’ll elucidate. I had arrived early (early for me) at the greenmarket that day, so there was a huge selection at the fish stand. Filtering out the various finfish and shellfish I’d cooked recently, which accounted for a good number, I …
Spanish mackerel, parsley, lemon, mushrooms; beet greens
We might have been satisfied with a single 10-ounce Spanish mackerel fillet rather than 2. It would have meant we’d each get only about 5 ounces of fish for dinner, which would have been a bit skimpy. The alternative was to bring home 2 of them, which is what I did on Friday. They fit perfectly …
John Dory, thyme; mushrooms; Brussels sprouts, sage
I picked up 2 beautiful John Dory fillets and then bought some mushrooms before checking my Food Blog to see whether I had a formula which would combine both. Once home, I learned that I had never prepared the them together, and didn’t have a recipe in my reference library. By that time I was in a bit of …
bass, oyster mushroom, parsley; purple potato; pea shoots
This was an wonderful dinner, largely because of my muse. Otherwise, while physically it seemed to me to come out of nowhere, in fact virtually every bit of this meal had come from the Union Square Greenmarket, which means our local farmers and fishers. Of course t hadn’t arrived on the table full-blown, but 2 or …
sea bass, mushrooms, parsley, micro dandelion; radicchio
I zeroed in on the part of the sign at American Seafood Company in the Union Square Greenmarket today that said they had black sea bass. Now I love that fish, but at the moment I was most likely to have been thinking about the fact that I could put those fillets on our table more quickly, and with …
tagliatelle, blue oyster mushroom sauce, micro radish
Two different kinds of mushrooms in two 3 days is something of a record on our table. I would be using these magic fungi more often, but I’m not yet used to thinking of how they might go with other parts of the meals I put together. When I can, and I see some beautiful mushrooms …
