If you love food and love letting yourself free in a food experience for the eyes, you can spend a lot of time at the International Food Bazaar in San Jose going back time and time again to look through all of the products. I love Israeli pickles and found them in the mix of tons of other Middle Eastern products. IFB sells Middle Eastern Specialty foods including kosher, Russian, Bosnian, European, Middle Eastern, Persian, Greek, and Turkish products in the South Bay San Jose Area (Campbell to be specific).
We bought a huge piece of Afghan Bread from their very large bread section and made a fast dinner with our already prepared Arugula-Pistachio Pesto.
When I lived in Sydney, Australia I ate the most fabulous vegetarian pizza called Arrostito topped with roasted vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and goat cheese at Arthur’s Pizza in Paddington. I recreated a version of these toppings below for a pizza combo that loves to impress.

Once again we accumulated about 5 lbs of carrots. Zach says he wouldn’t have made this labor intensive recipe if we hadn’t had so many carrots. However, we thought it was worth the work for the unique end result. Plus, the guys can’t get enough the smoked flavor in all kinds of food products. They love all smoked food items from smoked beer Rauchbier that we wrote about last December to smoked meats (chicken, pulled pork), and even lapsang souchong, a smoked tea.
Bisque = Blended (creamy soup with even texture throughout)
Soup = Not Blended (texture, texture, texture)

After eating so many summer squash and zucchini you may wonder how you can stomach anymore. Well, add bacon and anything will go down.

Guest Blame it on the Food Photographer, Deb Hayes, picked up our basket for a couple of weeks and made some great looking dishes and photos!
Yukon gold potatoes, green onions and red radishes from the CSA basket combine for a fabulous twist on a classic mayo based potato salad.
The original recipe from Joan Adelman calls for red potatoes. I leave the skins on. The secret ingredient is dill.

This is another 101cookbooks.com recipe. We made these beans without the Tofu as a side dish to be served with tri-tip and the Spiced Tomato Gratin. It is another straight-up winner of a recipe (one of the best of year that we have made) with almonds and raisins! It goes well as a side dish with the Gratin because they both have curry powder in the spice mixtures. It is a sure party hit to bring to a potluck.
We doubled the recipe and had eight for dinner. There were no leftovers.

This is one of the greatest recipes that we have found this year. This Gratin is not overly rich like a typical potato hot dish or casserole but the spices make it unique. It sings in your mouth! We used our Dry Farm Tomatoes and Yukon potatoes. Once again 101cookbooks.com gave us this great recipe.

We made these stuffed peppers from a whole variety of peppers that we had in our CSA food box. The peppers came out looking beautiful and were fairly fast to create. Don’t forget to cover them in foil when you bake them so that they come out steamed and moist. Kellie has a “Camp Stuffed Peppers Recipe” where you grill them in stead of baking, check it out.

What to do with an accumulation of radishes? This is it! Make this quick appetizer before dinner for a tasty treat. This recipe came from a Bon Appetit Magazine Recipe from a small restaurant, Taste, that sits next door to the larger dinner spot, Niche in St. Louis. Taste is a spot for guests to get drinks and small plates before dinner. Taste calls this dish, Roasted Radish Bruschetta. Also check out the creative cocktails served at Taste.
