How to Pi ck a n E gg pla nt (male vs female?) Hi Everyone! There was some discussion this week at pick-up on how to pick the best eggplant. Some interesting ideas were thrown around about size, shape, male, female, indents and seeds. I've done some research and here are the facts: The smaller the eggplant, the sweeter it tends to be. *I don't know about you but this presents a challenge to my inner child, I got immediately excited by how massive some of the eggplants were.

Measure out fruit chunks using a scale. Working quickly, add fruit chun...

He plated it as a small bite topped with a sweet dried corn granola( I know believe it). But it's great as a custard like base under fish and even as a cool soup with say crab.. YUM Ingredients: 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil 1/2 C yellow onion, diced 1/2 C fresh yellow corn kernels, about one ear kosher salt 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 C heavy cream 1 egg yolk Preparation: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over high heat and add the onion.
