Market Report

Zoe Nathan and Josh Loeb are the owners of Rustic Canyon restaurant on Wilshire near 11th Street and the newly opened bakery/cafe, Huckleberry. Zoe

and Josh recently got married and instead of gifts they asked for donations to their garden fund. With that money they hired Jimmy Williams of Hayground Organics in Los Angeles. Jimmy ripped out the front yard and planted an orchard of fruit trees. In the backyard Zoe and Josh have blueberries, strawberries, corn, lettuces, peppers and many other things in their small area. Right now Zoe is looking for radishes to make a simple butter and radish sandwich. She uses a baguette and butters it with Plugra butter. The radishes are sliced thinly, placed on the bread and topped with fluer de sel salt.

Summer squash is just cropping up in the markets this week. Look for the regular green zucchini or the pale green Lebanese zucchini, patty pan or any of the other varieties. Cliff Wright is a cookbook author. His most recent book is Bake Until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook. Here is his recipe for stuffed zucchini:
