Tricia Cornell was my second farmers’ market cooking inspiration. Deborah Madison was my first and if I know anything, I know Tricia would be pleased that my brain works like that. First, “What would Deborah Madison, author of 14 books on local cooking do?” with this pile of green beans, and second … “What would Tricia Cornell, master of Minnesota veggie season and CSA seasonal cooking, do” with this stinking Kohlrabi? You see, Deborah Madison is the national icon for cookbook authors who cook local food nationally and Tricia Cornell is my Minnesota icon for cookbook authors who cook local food. They are both great companions when staring down a pile of seasonal vegetables. The cookbook that turned me onto Tricia was Eat More Vegetables, suggested by my first CSA. Her second book, Minnesota Farmers Market Cookbook also helped me make great food with produce I wasn’t always sure how to use up.I hope you enjoy the conversation and a recipe for Garlic Scape Pesto Pasta (it’s almost in season again).

Get your tickets here. Stephanie and I really enjoyed talking with him about hospitality, cooking, covid, and where he likes to vacation.I loved chatting with him about his “Covid Cooking.” Here is a link to his mushroom polenta dish that I have made that is great. Cakes? He also mentioned he still loves making cakes. Here is a lemon pound cake recipe he inspired and his best chocolate cake.My favorite part of the conversation, the part I really related to, was where he talked about cooking during Covid and how you didn’t dare throw anything away, including every scrap of stale bread (sourdough baking anyone?). He used up his bread and veggie and cheese scraps by making savory bread puddings. I do this too. The bread puddings are super versatile and you can use any leftover veggies, meats, or cheeses.
