Episode 19: Summer Vegetables

In summertime we see local vegetables everywhere: at the grocery store, in the back garden, farmer’s market or in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share.  Sometimes there are so many vegetables, we just don’t know what to do with them.  I have the issue of having no air conditioning and thus cooking them can be a very hot experience.  This video shows a few recipes for the less often used veggies, prepared using less heat, including carrot top pesto.  Look for the recipes later this week.
