 (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
The colors are jumping off the page…err, screen! How about we meet for dinner? You bring the salad, I’ll bring the stuffed shells. ;) Congrats again!! kellypea - October 12, 2012 - 3:14 pm
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. My last week there, I stayed in a little detached cabin on a small property in the Bitterroot valley, hunkered down for a week of projects.

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

I am not complaining about the lack of winter this winter; it’s positively feeling like Spring! That said, I’m still happy to be cooking warm, cozy meals packed with root vegetables.

Would it change the recipe a lot if I used red curry paste instead of green? PS I made saag paneer once for a friend and got cocky and used TABLESPOONS instead of teaspoons for all the spices-both of our mouths were on fire! Kimberley - February 8, 2012 - 9:53 am
Kat, great question! Truth is, I have no idea! I’m going to do a little research on red curry. But I would guess that it’d be fine. NicoleD - February 8, 2012 - 11:27 am
A beautiful collection of cozy food! I actually received a pressure cooker as a wedding gift and had no idea how to use it. My current self would be more adventurous and try it out! la domestique - February 8, 2012 - 2:27 pm
Beautiful images, Kimberley! I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a pressure cooker for a while, and this might just push me over the edge. I live at altitude and no matter what I do, I cannot seem to cook dried beans properly. I’m thinking a pressure cooker might help, and I can add delicious falling apart meat dishes to the list of things to do with my new pressure cooker.

I went to Yosemite 2 years ago, but never Yellowstone. It looks gorgeous and I’d love to take a trip out there – and a winter trip sounds amazing. Love fried rice and it always must include eggs.

 Among my friends and family, a lot of seafood is consumed this time of year. It somehow feels light and celebratory while retaining the richness and decadence that is essential to December.

Yes, yes, yes! Dungeness crab is a very shiny silver lining for dreary Pacific Northwest winters. When I have my face buried in a platter of crab and oysters, I barely notice that the sun is setting at 4 o’clock.
