The ingredient of the week at La Domestique is the melon. Melon season is in full swing here in Colorado. Our warm, sunny climate is well-suited to cultivating several types of melons. Local farmers are growing heirloom melons and I encourage you to explore them all. You may find a new favorite!
I’m excited to cook in the moment with you- combining melons with summer fruits and veg. We’ll explore melon varieties from the luscious orange fleshed French Charentias to sweet green honeydew melons. Tomorrow is 10 Ways Tuesday and I’ll have lots of creative ideas for cooking with melons.
This week we’re taking a break from the usual video. We’re excited to make some changes and improvements to our Monday videos, and planning to start back up with that the first Monday in September.
Last week I made my first contribution to the Whole Foods Market Cooking Boulder Blog, you can take a look here. Tomorrow I begin a weekly Tuesday column on their site, expanding on one of my 10 Ways Tuesday posts. It’s a great community for home cooks and I encourage you to set up a profile and get involved.
Thanks so much for reading, see you tomorrow!
That is wonderful that you will be writing for Whole Foods’ Blog. What a wonderful opportunity. My daughter may attend U.T. in Austin next year and I believe Whole Foods is headquartered there. I would love to tour their store!
Riley,
I bet the Whole Foods Flagship Store is really nice. You’ll have to check it out and let me know. 🙂 Here in Boulder they just remodeled a store and it’s huge! There are ipads in the bulk food section where you can access the Food52.com website for recipe ideas. Pretty neat.
