Awakening to the Greenmarket: A Cook Obsessed




(June 28, 2006)

By CELIA BARBOUR
Published: June 28, 2006

FOR many years, the seasons came and went with no particular urgency in my kitchen. Did I need basil? I could get basil. Ditto melons, potatoes, squash.

New York is full of stores catering to off-season-produce junkies like me.

I frequented the Greenmarket, too, but as much for the sake of the atmosphere as the food. Like, it seems, half of New York, I spent summer Saturdays trekking to Union Square to stock up on heirloom tomatoes and corn; I lined up on Wednesdays for scallops or fish.

Two years ago my family and I moved into an apartment overlooking the square. Now I rely on those 115 farmers, fishers and bakers for much of our daily sustenance. In the middle of Manhattan, we eat foods that mostly come straight from the farm.

Cooking from the market obsesses me and it challenges me. How can I build a meal out of the meat from Vendor A, the herbs from B, the fruits and vegetables from C?
