Kelcy's Corner

You never know where a coffee shop conversation will take you. 

This past weekend I was enjoying some coffee when a woman came by to pet my pup, Lilly. We started talking and, no surprise, the conversation turned to food and culture. Born in India, Soumita was quick to start talking about the food of her country and as soon as I shared with her that I was planning on making Saag Paneer that evening for dinner, she lit up! We started discussing cooking methods, how to make different Indian breads and then moved on to the subject of the paneer. For those who don’t know, Paneer is an Indian cheese that has a very low melting point and is perfect for soaking up all the yummy flavors of whatever sauce you throw it in. Soumita was kind enough to share with me the perfect method for making sure your paneer is the best it can possibly be; soak the paneer in warm salt water for 5-7 minutes to soften it up and then give it a quick fry to caramelize the sugars before tossing it into your sauce. It is sure to absorb the flavors that much more and, in her own words, “everything comes back to life in water.”  I, for one, am super excited to try out this new cooking method and am so grateful to Soumita for sharing her wisdom. 

Happy cooking friends!

This past week I had the pleasure of hosting the first in-house farm supper at Wright-Locke Farm;

it was one of the highlights of my life! I have always dreamt of hosting a large farm dinner and each aspect of it lived up to that dream. I worked with 10 different local farmers and suppliers (including our own farm and farm-to-go) and the love and passion all these people feel for the food and products they provide can be tasted in every single bite. I was able to feed 31 guests a delicious 3 course meal and knew that everything they were eating was not only delicious, but also supported the mission of local farms and eating in season. Plus, I finally got to see what 10 cups of dry Arborio rice looks like once it’s all cooked up, a MASSIVE amount that still shocks me. All along I felt a sense of gratitude for being in this space and having the ability to follow my dreams. If you didn’t get a chance to try it out yourself, have no fear, more dinners are on the way!
Happy cooking friends!

Fall programming is up and running at the farm and so is the kitchen!

I’ve been making snacks for our pre-school program, and am SO excited to be feeding our little explorers healthy and seasonal snacks! Vegan carrot cake cookies were a huge hit, and delicious raspberry bars with our own WLF raspberries! I would love to hear from all of you about some favorite snacks you feed your family. Feel free to share recipes and ideas with me at farmchef@wlfarm.org
Stay tuned for more information on cooking classes coming out of the Farm Kitchen.
Happy cooking friends! ~ Chef Kelcy
