CALL for ENTRIES: Shades of Green

Posted on May 16, 2017May 12, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

BROCCOLETTI di rapa

I have a secret love for rapini. You may know it as broccoli raab or broccoletti. People assume it is just fancy broccoli and often cook it that way, hence the reason I hide my love of it (until now). Rapini is more closely related to a turnip than broccoli with the same tendency toward bitterness or stringy-ness if under cooked or overcooked. Don’t ever buy, cook or serve rapini that isn’t a gorgeous shade of green. (You won’t enjoy the yellow, trust me.) Don’t under cook it or spare the garlic & olive oil. This next Call wants your perspective on all the shades of green, not just the broccoli shades. An open theme…

CALL for ENTRIES: Lab.8

PASTA perfection

Fettuccine alfredo is the picture of pasta indulgence for many folks, but I have an artery-clogging love for pasta carbonara. If you haven’t had this egg-y, cheese-y, bacon-y deliciousness, I warn you that one taste could ruin all other pasta for you. I like a little extra cream and a few sun-dried tomatoes & fresh green peas in mine, but I’m guessing some of you didn’t need to hear anything after bacon, ha. This next Call includes a shot at an exhibition in Rome, from hence carbonara originates. Take a look…

small FOODS

Two of the most used utensils in my kitchen are ice cream scoops, and neither gets used for ice cream. We haven’t make full pans of brownies or cornbread or cake in years. We use those scoops to portion everything from quiche to bread in muffin tins. With everyone on the go, we find single-serving sized foods make for fewer excuses for not taking quality food from home. As a gallerist, I’ve found that small works often take the I-don’t-have-room objection off the table too. This next Call wants the best of your small work. This is a great opportunity…

standout SUSTENANCE

My earliest food influences came from my grandmother & her sister Maggie. They had such different styles. My grandmother was all about a meat, two veggies, some form of potato, bread & dessert. Every meal. My great aunt Mag was all about the drama. Her corn-on-the-cob was the best. Her deviled eggs were the best. Her pancakes were the best. But everything else, apart from the star of the meal, was an after thought. I find myself gravitating toward concentrating on one dish and forgetting the rest. All the glory, none of the mundane. What a strategy, eh? This next Call wants to know about your familial connections. Take a look…
