With some recipes, I struggle for years to get them right before I’ll blog about them. This is one of those recipes. I have a postcard from “Bahston” that I’ve saved for 30 years (I went to boarding school in Massachusetts) with a recipe on it. Tried that. Nope, not quite right. I’ve tried adding […]

Savory Pumpkin Soup
Once, a long time ago, on the Carribean Island of St. John, on the far side of the island in a little shack of a restaurant surrounded by goats and lapping waves, we had pumpkin soup that tasted like heaven. I’ve had many kinds of pumpkin soup since then, all competing for “as good as” […]
Escarole, Farro, and Chicken Soup
I’d been craving escarole in soup for years—hence the long search for organic escarole. There’s just something about escarole in a soup that is so clean and nourishing. When I served this soup at dinner (along with some garlic-butter toast) it was accompanied only by a long silence and the sounds of slurping and the […]
Sausage, Potato, and Cabbage Soup
Sometimes a very simple, easy, healthy, and wholesome soup is what’s required—for lunch, for dinner, or for breakfast! (My kids are big on eating soup for breakfast.) This soup takes about 30 minutes to make and only includes seven ingredients. It won’t last long. Sausage, Potato, and Cabbage Soup Ingredients: Olive oil 1 pound savory […]
Goose, Barley, and White Bean Soup
One of my earliest memories of my grandmother involves this soup. We lived on the same farm as she and my grandfather (JI Rodale), and her kitchen was always open for us to run in and out of. My little brother and I were raised like farm animals and found food wherever we could, and […]
Vegetarian Borscht
There is a cleanness and purity to vegetarian borscht that feeds my slightly Eastern European soul. What’s also perfect is that it’s hard to get it wrong. You can play with this ingredients list and change quantities and the soup will still feed your soul and your need for beets. It’s a rather healthy way to get through a winter day.
Venison Chili: A True Local Feast
I know some people have mixed feelings about hunting. But if you are going to be a meat eater and/or a locavore, then you might want to support your responsible local hunters. Because the truth is, there is not much that’s more spiritual than eating meat that was raised in the wild and free on […]
Recipe: Clean out the Refrigerator (and Pantry) Minestrone Soup
It’s amazing what a good, quick soup you can make from stuff you might otherwise throw out, as I was reminded last night. You don’t need meat. You don’t need bouillon cubes or anything fake like that. All you need is an assortment of food and a pot. And it only takes about a half […]
Scratch
Raised on America’s first organic farm, Scratch author Maria Rodale learned how to make everyday favorites from, yes, scratch — the way you remember them; the way they turn out best.
Order NowOrganic Manifesto
Drawing on findings from leading health researchers as well as conversations with both chemical and organic farmers from coast to coast, Maria Rodale irrefutably outlines the unacceptably high cost of chemical farming on our health and our environment.
