 (First, WOW. Thank you, all, for your congratulations, well wishes and kind words about my cookbook project. Way to make a girl’s week! I am so excited for the year ahead, and your enthusiasm is like having my own personal cheering squad. THANK YOU! It’s a tremendous feeling.) Last Sunday I went on a farm... Erin - October 11, 2012 - 11:35 am
This is my type of salad- I love that it has roasted potatoes and squash! I’d also not heard of dry farming before (because in the midwest, it’s rain or they water everything). How interesting (and really neat)! Laura {gourmettenyc} - October 11, 2012 - 11:37 am
Simply gorgeous! I think I’m just going to have to make this. Christine - October 11, 2012 - 11:45 am
This is, in fact, my FAVORITE recipe from Bi-Rite Market’s “Eat Good Food”. (Which is saying a lot, because I haven’t found a bad dish yet from this cookbook!) Why does it not surprise me in the least that you’ve adapted it here! :) Congratulations, again, Kimberley! So excited for you! Stacy - October 11, 2012 - 11:53 am
I made a similar salad this week (roasted delicata, potatoes and tofu; kale; thai curry dressing), but frankly, yours looks even better! The pomegranate seeds and feta won me over at first glance. And: that farm tour looks like such fun! sara - October 11, 2012 - 12:47 pm
so perfect! I haven’t used delicata too much but am wanting to experiment more with it this season. This salad looks so perfect. So many things I love…squash, pom seeds, arugula….yes! gorgeous photos, kimberly. Lynda - October 11, 2012 - 2:45 pm
Stunning colors and photography. I want to eat it. thecitygourmand - October 11, 2012 - 3:35 pm
Scrumptious! Pomegranate just makes the amazing garnish. I had never heard of dry farming before, what an interesting concept – especially relevant to us in drought ridden Australia Nicole - October 11, 2012 - 4:44 pm
OMG I’m soooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I stumbled upon your blog! Your photography is incredible and I want to make every recipe I’ve come across so far! YAY! Amy - October 11, 2012 - 7:12 pm
Gorgeous pics from the tour! It was so lovely meeting you on the tour, what a magnificent way to spend a sunny Sunday. I also made this salad with my potatoes and it came out so tasty. Nicole - October 11, 2012 - 8:36 pm
I’ve been waiting for you to post this gorgeous salad! Delicata is my favorite and I love all of the other goodies in there. annamaria potamiti - October 11, 2012 - 10:50 pm
Perfect timing, I am in love with squash these days. Love it, want it, will have it!!!Thank you;-) Michelle - October 11, 2012 - 11:05 pm
This looks like a fantastic salad! So much good stuff in it! Louisa - October 12, 2012 - 12:45 am
I love talking farming! My Dad’s a dry land farmer too, so I also love that you’re mentioning it here. Wonderful looking salad! charlotte au chocolat - October 12, 2012 - 5:03 am
This salad looks so gorgeous, Kimberley! Congrats again! xx Ashley - October 12, 2012 - 6:32 am

I love roasted potatoes in a salad — one that isn’t “potato salad.” So many wonderful flavors combined here. Fabulous. ileana - October 13, 2012 - 12:18 pm
I just picked up my first delicata squash of the season and here you are with this beautiful salad. I love roasted veggies mixed into my salads. Beets are always a good move! Kathryn - October 14, 2012 - 2:30 am
Dry farming sounds like a really interesting concept and one that I can imagine is only going to get more important. A delicious salad at the end of it. I’ll happily eat roast potatoes in any form! la domestique - October 14, 2012 - 8:01 pm
My mouth is watering just looking at this salad! Love the combination of textures and the colors! Totally feel you on the dry climate issues and think dry farming is fascinating. Thanks for sharing that with us. Anna - October 14, 2012 - 10:48 pm
Great salad combination! The dish looks heavenly! Anna - October 15, 2012 - 7:13 pm
Yum! Looks delicious, I love pomegranite with feta. Katherine Sacks - October 16, 2012 - 12:01 pm
I was just daydreaming about a salad like this one, and here you are making it. I’d love to have this as my lunch! Riley - October 16, 2012 - 2:45 pm
What a perfect salad for the fall months! Yum! MikeVFMK - October 16, 2012 - 6:50 pm
First off, beautiful salad. And I love farm tours, it’s always so enlightening and almost always inspires me to cook. And potatoes in the salad? yes! Valeria - November 5, 2012 - 1:34 pm
we tried this recipe tonight, just twisting it a bit –we roasted the squash with some cornmeal crust and some sage, and we used olives instead of pomegranate, but man, it really hit the spot. Gonna try the more authentic one soon. Thanks for sharing. Monique - January 22, 2013 - 6:11 am
I made this to take to our neighbor’s 2012 Thanksgiving Dinner. My neighbor just asked me for the recipe so it must have made a good impression :-) I love this recipe and also love how versatile it can be! Don’t have time for the squash? No worries, leave it out.

 One of the greatest takeaways from my time in Montana is how crazy lucky I am to have such an abundance of produce available here in northern California.

This looks like its going to be tonight’s dinner! Thanks so much! Christina - September 19, 2012 - 2:07 pm
I just had a discussion with my local farmer, I asked him to never stop producing tomatoes, make them last through the winter! All he did was laugh. Produce definitely isn’t the same after it’s been shipped and sitting in crates through thousands of miles. Nicole - September 19, 2012 - 2:07 pm
I like the phrase “vegetal riches.” Looks delicious as well :) kickpleat - September 19, 2012 - 2:52 pm
Gorgeous! I had a similar lunch yesterday – polenta topped with sauteed sun gold tomatoes, but this looks so much lovelier. And yes, I agree, italian mashed potatoes, it is. Ashlae - September 19, 2012 - 3:38 pm
I’ve (gasp!) never had polenta. But you’ve convinced me, I’ve got to try it :) Loving the shot of the raspberries – so pretty. Katherine Sacks - September 19, 2012 - 5:47 pm
It’s settled, I’m crashing your summer trip next year and coming along! I love goats! Beautiful pictures as always and the creamy polenta looks perfect for this cool fall evening! thelittleloaf - September 19, 2012 - 11:25 pm
I adore wet polenta – it’s so creamy and comforting. Love how you’ve combined it with tomatoes and those lovely fresh podded beans. Think I might try it with some borlotti I got from the market yesterday. Lovely! la domestique - September 20, 2012 - 12:25 am
I like the combination of creamy polenta and tart cherry tomatoes and how cute is Mr. (or Mrs?) goat?! Kathryn - September 20, 2012 - 2:12 am
What a lovely combination of summer and autumn both in flavours and textures, just beautiful. thecitygourmand - September 20, 2012 - 5:32 am
That looks a lovely Autumnal dish, I shall save it! Erin - September 20, 2012 - 12:45 pm
We ate creamy polenta this week, too. I used stone ground corn meal and baked ours in the oven. Spoonfuls of fresh tomato sauce made it just right for a September night with a little chill in the air. I love this time of year. NicoleD - September 20, 2012 - 12:53 pm
You really know how to balance the line between summer and fall! I can’t wait to make polenta, again. and topping it with late summer produce is a brilliant idea. charlotte au chocolat - September 20, 2012 - 1:06 pm
That little, detached cottage surrounded by chickens and goats and raspberries sounds dreamy! And yes, California has it made with its yearlong abundance of produce. Enjoy it! ;) Elizabeth - September 20, 2012 - 6:35 pm
Sounds like such a nice time away in the wild. Whenever I get out of my city, I’m always so taken with the plain old oxygen in natural places. As produce goes, It’s the fresh citrus I envy most. We always embrace citrus season, but knowing it’s all from Florida or California, it just isn’t the same. Brian @ A Thought For Food - September 21, 2012 - 9:11 am
Thanks for rubbing it in… damn you West Coasters and your amazing produce. We have good stuff too, of course, but it disappears so quickly! Loving this polenta recipe! Looks marvelous! sarah - September 21, 2012 - 2:42 pm
Beautiful. I had a bad experience with polenta, but you’ve convinced me to give it another try. And I do envy your produce. Minneapolis is freezing 7 months of the year. Maybe it’s time to move? :) Kasey - September 21, 2012 - 5:32 pm
We really are lucky to live in such a bountiful place. I’m a big fan of ‘bowl food’ as Sara from Sprouted Kitchen would say – and this is definitely my kind of bowl food. Heather M - September 23, 2012 - 11:31 am
Ha, so true about the produce! I can’t remember who said it, maybe it was in Blood Bones and Butter, but someone was talking about how when people talk about eating locally, they are thinking of California. Some parts of the country, eating locally would mean meals devoid of many kinds of produce that we are used to just having all the time. I just shop at my local co-op these days, and while they emphasize local produce, they actually sent out an email last winter to address all the comments they get about Why isn’t there a better variety of produce? Of course it’s because they are trying to keep it local. and people truly didn’t realize the limited things that are being grown at certain times of year. The amazing thing is that this is in the fertile Skagit Valley in washington state so it’s not like we’re not in a major agricultural climate! Anyway, I can forego those tomatoes in the winter, but I’m not giving up avocado! We don’t grow any up here, so I’ll just have to sacrifice somewhere else. :-) MikeVFMK - September 23, 2012 - 7:53 pm
I am envious of your year-round amazing produce. But here in Toronto I’ve come to appreciate four distinct seasons and four distant growing seasons. As for this dish, it’s vibrant and beautiful. And I hate to admit I’ve never had polenta before but I’m willing to give it a try. Ashley - September 24, 2012 - 7:36 am
OH, oh, oh my word does this sound fantastic. And that first photo is stunning. The lighting is perfect! A perfect end of summer dish! Ashley @ Sensibly Gourmet - September 24, 2012 - 1:21 pm

 Two and a half years ago, I made a promise to you to write about how to shuck an oyster. I am finally making good on that promise.

I went to Tomales Bay a few years ago, and I’ve been itching to go back ever since. Sitting on the bay, eating my fill of the freshest oysters ever – it’s incredible. These are great photos and a wonderful tutorial on shucking them! la domestique - August 4, 2012 - 9:29 am
You are so right- oysters transcend food. I could eat pounds and pounds of oysters in one sitting, always with a bracingly crisp glass of white wine. Once you’ve learned how to shuck an oyster, it’s not hard to do at all. Great how to! SG - August 4, 2012 - 11:53 am
Thanks to you we had a lovely after hiking oyster experience. I agree with you about the transcending effect – I always get elevated when eating them. I wish I was up in Tomales bay right now! Lori - August 4, 2012 - 3:59 pm
I live in the northwest and often find great oysters in Oysterville, Washington. sf - August 5, 2012 - 4:34 am
You make me want to have oysters :) Too bad they are so expensive in Tokyo, and i will have to go to Grand Central Oyster Bar where each oyster will cost USD6 onwards. Wish i can experience what shucking oysters next to the beach, just like you did.. Hannah - August 5, 2012 - 8:27 am
Great photo of Tomales Bay! One of our favorite haunts (and now I will have to keep an eye out for you there, ha!). We love oysters, and I love your points about their sustainability and health – as if we needed an excuse, but now I can justify the prices when they get a little spendy ;) Our favorite way to eat them is grilled, and we also really love them with hot sauce. A little garlicky melted butter also does well on them … yum. Great post! MikeVFMK - August 5, 2012 - 10:46 am
Great photos and explanation. I’ve always wanted to buy oysters at the fish market and have them at home except for the fear of shucking them. But now I’m more prepared to pick some up. Love oysters. kickpleat - August 5, 2012 - 10:44 pm
I’m going out for oysters tomorrow and I’d love to try shucking my own. We’re close to great oysters up here too and would love the opportunity one day. But for now, I’ll happily slurp down a few at the local oyster bar. Lauren - August 6, 2012 - 4:56 pm

This is so awesome. My top criteria for vacation this year is to find a place where I can eat oysters silly. Not sure if that’s going to happen, but I am putting Tomales Bay on my list for next time I’m in California. Thanks for the how-to! Jeff - August 16, 2012 - 12:36 am

Love this series. We have been in and out of town the last couple months and our eating habits have gone way down the tube. We move in 4 weeks. I’m taking notes! Monique - May 30, 2012 - 10:56 am
Great suggestions! These are also great for camping :-) Sarah - May 30, 2012 - 10:57 am
LOVE this idea. Wonderful. I always try to bring food but it’s never enough, somehow. Camping is easier for me because there’s a fire/stove at the end of the day or in the morning. But on the road in the car? Difficult. Can’t wait to see more. R. E. Maley - May 30, 2012 - 11:09 am
Great series & first suggestions – and right as I’m preparing for an 8-week trip away from my kitchen & favorite food stores! Thanks a bunch. Melanie - May 30, 2012 - 11:16 am
What a great idea! I hear more and more people talking about bringing their own food on planes, rather than eating airplane food–if they even offer it! Healthier, you can eat what YOU like and better for jetlag. Win-win! Thanks for posting. Eileen - May 30, 2012 - 11:35 am
Oh, plane food is always crucial! We usually do nuts & dried fruit, baby carrots, and some sort of sandwiches–usually whatever’s in the fridge that will be sad and dead by the time we get back. Once I didn’t have time to make sandwiches, so I took half a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a plastic knife instead. This worked fine on the outbound trip–but ont they way home, security confiscated my peanut butter for being a liquid! Peanut butter is not a liquid! In conclusion, make your sandwiches Before you go. kickpleat - May 30, 2012 - 11:35 am
I love the hummus/cuke sandwich for travels (never thought to add cheese – why not?!). And I love a grated or julienned carrot salad or cabbage slaw since those can last a while without refrigeration. Happy travels! sarah - May 30, 2012 - 11:59 am
I love this!! We always eat too much crap on the road. I have a terrible weakness for combos in gas stations [you can shake your head. I know]. We take several long car rides throughout the summer to visit family, and I am loving all your suggestions. noelle - May 30, 2012 - 12:14 pm
Homemade granola bars are my new favorite! They also make a good plane breakfast, in case cold greasy tofu + zucchini with lemon first thing in the morning isn’t your thing (a true story) lynda - May 30, 2012 - 12:15 pm
As a child, my family traveled (four kids and my parents) to the midwest every summer by car. My mom packed cucumber spears, oranges, watermelon and fried chicken for the ride. I think there peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were included on occasion. I look forward to trying your selections when I’m on the road again. Your blog is one of my favorites! thank you! Laura - May 30, 2012 - 12:29 pm

What a good idea! I am starting to make my own granola bars as well. I’d love some more ideas for foods that travel well, especially those that can make it on a long road trip. ileana - May 30, 2012 - 1:01 pm
Great post! I’ve also taken to adding some sea salt to my peanut butter and fruit sandwiches. So good. Sharyn Dimmick - May 30, 2012 - 1:42 pm
Good idea to address this. I usually take almonds, dried fruit. For big trips I’ll get a deli sandwich from a good deli the day I go (or the night before). Sometimes I take carrots or an orange. cally - May 30, 2012 - 2:47 pm
Love your suggestions. I’m gluten/daity free so here’s what I take ( plus the usuals nuts and seeds) For snacking I love to have Scottish Oatcakes and a tub of hummus to dip them in, and if I have space in my bag, a tub full of cherry tomatoes to eat with each one. If I need a proper meal I do a tub of wheat free pasta with lots courgette/zucchini, green beans etc. in it which I make the night before (cause it tastes great a day later as a salad)) A thin coating of olive oil or pesto keeps it moist and tasty. As a sweet snack dark chocolate nibbled with fresh raw ginger (settles the tummy and helps avoid travel sickness). Because the flavours are strong it’s fairly easy not to over indulge.Plus if you have a bit of raw ginger it’s very fibrous, so chewing it helps with sore ears from air pressure. A bit of cinnamon bark is also good for having a chew on. Lisa - May 30, 2012 - 5:12 pm
My current favorite airplane food is bagels. I buy bagels the night before we travel (I live in NYC so great bagels are easy to come by). Then in the morning I make one everything bagel with cream cheese for my airport “breakfast” and one plain bagel with cheese for my “lunch” on the plane. (I bring a plain bagel on the plane so as no to subject my seat mates to the delicious but strong smell of an everything bagel). Bagels are great for traveling because they’re filling and don’t get squished. elle - May 30, 2012 - 5:59 pm

baby carrots are my favorite snack, but I bring entire meals on flights with me. Last time it was a roasted vegetable salad with zucchini, butternut squash, cauliflower, and red onions. I also really like dried sweet potatoes or sweet potato chips, chestnuts, or an apple. gray - June 1, 2012 - 4:47 am

Great post! I always take fruit with me on international flights (and make sure to eat everything before I officially cross the border). Something about eating fresh and healthy food also seems to help with jet lag. Lynda - June 1, 2012 - 11:36 am

Love this post! I travel/road trip a lot in the Summer too. One thing I like to do is make a big batch of granola, then pick up plain yogurt at grocery stores and enjoy with fresh fruit. Burritos and a container full of homemade pancake mix seems to always make it in too! Allison - June 4, 2012 - 6:16 am
Great post! Just in time for summer travels. I will definitely try some of your travel food ideas next time I venture out on a long trip. It all looks very appealing and nutritious. A great alternative to the airport food and gas station snacks. Thanks! Juicer - June 5, 2012 - 12:36 pm
I would never have thought of this one. It looks great and I don’t have to fly to eat it. Kathryne - June 5, 2012 - 9:39 pm
For some reason, I usually forget that bringing my own food to the airport is even an option. I did make it home with some leftover Momofuku Milk Bar cookies this time, though! Your options look much healthier and more satisfying. I think I’ll eat almond butter on toast with fruit tomorrow morning for breakfast. :) Anyway, I had the greatest time meeting you in New York! So glad we could get to know each other over the course of two fun evenings. Thank you for making sure I got home on Friday night, I owe you one. Hope our paths cross again soon!

This was something I needed to read today. There are some days I spend a lot of time on the road doing errands and I end up eating total garbage from gas stations or fast food places.

Oh my yum! Thank you for the inspiration! Jenny - July 1, 2012 - 6:11 am
We bring our own food too – lots, for the kids. And I try to bring relatively low-odor snacks after one flight when I was newly expectant and a fellow passenger unpacked his pungent (and no doubt delicious) meal. That was torture to my oversensitive nose and already nauseous tummy. Your options look great, and why have I not heard of Justin’s? I will be searching for it now!

 It’s that time of year. The evenings are stretching out and I find myself relaxing with the knowledge that it won’t be dark at 6 pm, or even 7. This lends itself to long walks with Beach House on repeat, mental reminders to appreciate that shade of blue Joan Didion was so enamored with, glasses... by Kimberley show hide 56 comments Stephanie @ okie dokie artichokie - May 1, 2012 - 5:59 pm
This looks pretty damn perfect on a summer’s eve. Light and refreshing and gorgeous to boot! Love everything about it. BTW, people buy light coconut milk? lol… Brian @ A Thought For Food - May 1, 2012 - 6:00 pm
First of all, I was on your site maybe 5 minutes ago, wondering if you had written a new post. And now here it is! Thank goodness for Facebook, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have checked back for a few more days. I did see the post on Sprouted Kitchen and I’ve been anxious to make it ever since I came across it. I’ve been on a coconut milk kick recently and I just know that it would make for the most wonderful popsicle (or ice cream) base. And, from the look of these pictures, it was a huge success. Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar - May 1, 2012 - 6:25 pm
These look so awesome. I’m seriously going to try these this week! Heather @opgastronomia - May 1, 2012 - 7:05 pm

Oh man, these popsicles look so perfect for a warm, muggy day like today. Brilliant! This may be the final nudge I needed to buy a popsicle mold. I love me some warm summer nights with Beach House! leela - May 1, 2012 - 7:29 pm

so pretty, I can’t wait to make these! I heart summer… sara - May 1, 2012 - 9:48 pm
it always comes to this. I am painfully reminded that i do not have a popsicle mold and I NEED one! They look so delicious and I feel like they’re easier to eat in popsicle form. Gorgeous photos, my friend! Sharyn Dimmick - May 2, 2012 - 7:00 am
Mmm, cardamom. Great addition to coconut popsicles. I’d mix the strawberries in though — don’t like chunks in my ice cream. Katherine - May 2, 2012 - 7:02 am
These have me wishing for hot summer days! New York has been weirdly chilly! Delicious as always! Iris - May 2, 2012 - 7:12 am

Gorgeous!! I am all intoxicated with spring right now, but this is making me long for summer! I HAVE to roast some strawberries. I’m so behind on that trend. la domestique - May 2, 2012 - 8:13 am
I can’t wait to try these- and there’s cardamom, my favorite spice! I will never turn down ice cream. Megan Gordon - May 2, 2012 - 9:30 am
Holy beauties. These look wonderful! I feel like we’re not quite in popsicle mode here in Seattle yet, but I’m really, really sensing that it’s on its way. xox!(and why have I NEVER made roasted strawberries? What’s wrong with me?) Melissa // thefauxmartha - May 2, 2012 - 9:58 am

I roasted berries last summer and spooned them over yogurt (all berries are great roasted!) I love the look of these beauts!! So making these…you know, when popsicle weather heads north. kale - May 3, 2012 - 12:46 am

these look delicious, and so simple. can you tell me where you’ve found popsicle molds this shape? i’ve not seen them. and, any reason you couldn’t substitute, say peaches? Candace - May 24, 2012 - 11:03 pm
These look amazing! Which popsicle molds did you use? I am looking on amazon and a lot of reviews complain about having a hard time getting them out of the molds. Linda - June 1, 2012 - 8:53 am
I can’t imagine a more luxurious popsicle flavor than roasted strawberry & coconut. Must make. Along with avocado, cantaloupe, watermelon mojito, and thai iced tea! shirley cox - June 24, 2012 - 2:54 pm

Hello, I work at Yoga Journal magazine. We are doing a story on fruit popsicles for our June issue. We love the 4th photo of this post. The one with the dark background with the popsicles stacked. We would love to use this for our popsicle page. Could we use this photo? We can pay for it. We would need the hi res version as soon as we can get it to us as we are on deadline. The one we lined bp before fell through at the last minute. Thanks so much! Cheers Su - May 14, 2013 - 11:59 pm
