The Farmers' Market Chef

On Saturday mornings in Oxford, patrons of the local Farmers' Market bundle up against the crisp autumn air, make their way Uptown and explore the various stalls to sample and purchase everything from fresh produce and festive artwork to pour-over coffee and flaky pastries. As they mosey past the chef chopping onions with speed and professional precision, many are lured in by the spicy aroma emanating from his table.

TMS Recipes: On a crescent roll

One of the first cooking duties entrusted to me was preparing the crescent rolls. It's a simple task, but a satisfying one -- hearing that punctuated "pop!" as the cardboard tube opens, methodically rolling each triangle of dough from base to point and, in less time than it takes to set the table, opening the oven to find a baking sheet full of fluffy, golden half-moons.

Battle of the Bagels

Something about the new restaurant in Armstrong seemed uncomfortably familiar. It serves sandwiches -- bagel sandwiches, to be exact. Bagels sliced in half and filled with an assortment of meats, eggs, veggies, cheese and sauces.

Candied matzah: A Passover treat

This week, we're celebrating the Jewish holiday of Passover.The basic premise is, after several weeks of divine torment on the Egyptian pharaoh, the Jewish people were ready to leave captivity. Their bread hadn't risen yet, so they slung it on their backs and hightailed it out of Egypt, walking for 40 years to find the promised land.
