ive been cooking from your website and cookbook for so many months now - i had to post! i love your recipes so much, ive always wanted to cook/eat this way and ive even turned my bf onto this food (and he was mr. pizza and burgers when i met him) i've gotten so many of my friends hooked to your site as well...so thank you!!! but actually what made me cave is to ask you a question - where do you get your bread?? it looks like the german bread i lug back from berlin/demand my friends carry back for me ... any tips on where to get that in SF? HS: Thanks! The bread in this shot (as well as another favorite - the whole wheat seeded bread) is by Acme, I think I picked up this particular loaf at Bi-Rite. They distribute to lots of stores around the city, but seem to have their best selection at the Ferry Building store or stall out back.

I've never commented here before though I've been a long time reader but now that you mentioned Gimme! I couldn't help but state my love for it--I'm a native Ithacan (though I just moved to Boston) and grew up just blocks from the original one (I was there the first day they opened!).

Ah! You like some places I love in NYC: Greenmarket (great upstate NYC jams). Was there on a Saturday morning about two years ago and at another stand they did a radish greens saute demo. Joe's is good for coffee as is Jack's, which I believe is on tenth in the West Village. Bonnie Slotnick's is mecca for me, but a bit pricey. My treasured Patricia Michelson book about cheese came from her cozy bookshop. Keep the great recipes and hopefully more videos coming at Youtube. (I'm MrPogle at YouTube.) Enjoy NY. -Erika in SF p.s. Sun-dried tomato cottage cheese muffins recipe was fabulous. Only thing was the muffins sticking to the paper. Any advice? Delicious recipe--as so many of yours are. Thanks!

Tried your Tofu recipe, it was perfect. Starting to eat lots of fresh veggies. Will continue to use your recipes. Thanks.

Heidi - I love this kind of recipe - quick, easy, healthy and super good! It's great to utilize ingredients when in season - thanks for one more.

It's so interesting looking at seasonal changes even from one side of the country to the other. It seems like peas and asparagus overlap a lot in California, guessing by how many of your recent recipes include both. But here in NY, I'm pretty sure we're on the tail end of our asparagus season, yet the peas you saw last week were some of the first ones to show up (or at least the first time they were in mountains!). Either way, I love both vegetables and I'm always happy to see recipes for them! My plan for tomorrow is to pick up some peas to try the pea dumpling recipe you posted a while back.

I'm so glad you went to Caravan! I love that it's still a little out of the spotlight. Nice little spot tucked away from the hustle and bustle! The owner is so well knowledged and plans out each dish according to the body's optimal usage. And not to mention it just tastes so damn good! Glad you had a nice visit with us!

I've been a lurker for some time now, but thought I'd come out of the shadows to reiterate what everyone's saying here: we all know it's wise for our health and our planet to eat seasonally, so your many variations on peas/asparagus are most gratefully received!

We love your site and the pics. Goind to try this tonight. You are a cute couple. Recritique.com Restaurant Coupons

You and Adam are so cute! I love seeing food bloggers get together.

First a red panzanella and now a green one! WOW!...It's time for the celebrations to begin! :)

I'm so glad you ate at August! I don't hear much about it anymore, but I had one of the best dishes of my life there a few years ago: it was a salad of thin apple slices, whisps of crisp fennel, walnuts, and challah bread soaked in honey and olive oil. I almost cried. HS: we really enjoyed it - everything was simply prepared, beautifully. Not overly fussed with. And that salad you speak of sounds amazing!

Are you going to write more about the Beard event? Tell us something so we can pretend we were there with you. HS: Like how bad my feet hurt by the end of the night? ;) I'll write more about it at some point in the near future.

Heidi, sorry i missed you at the farmer's market, Always love your recipes!

I love babycakes. Gluten free heaven. What did you get? I am happy you had a blast.

fantastic trip :0) my oh my, the green in that salad is so vibrant!! love it.

As much as I love California....don't we just terribly miss those wet and sometimes thundering and flashing experiences in the summer that the Bay Area doesn't afford us? HS: I hear you. The only place I could regularly see thunderstorms is when my family would stay at Lake Tahoe during the summers when I was a kid. We loved that.

I've never made panzanella without tomatoes... ohh, new and exciting. Wait, if this is exciting I might have to get out more. About the photo of Wayne: there was something about this photo that drew me back to look at it a few times. It took me a while to figure out that the line between the gray and white on the door, the shadow on Wayne's face, and the buttons on his shirt all make a line down the center of the photo. That along with the columns makes for an almost subconscious feeling of distance, as if I'm meant to look up... Oh, and I love the faint reflection of the one way sign on the gray side of the door above Wayne's head. It betrays the "look up" directive, and argues that I should instead look left.

What a yummy recipe, but I guess anyone tired of peas and asparagus could use artichoke hearts and sundried tomatoes!

This is a great twist on a panzanella, with the hearty whole wheat and I never get tired of peas or asparagus, so thanks!!
