Thats the difference with Solgar Full Spectrum Curcumin.

For the first time, Solgar transforms poorly absorbed curcumin from a fat-soluble to a water-soluble phytonutrient making it

is so advanced, just 40 mg of curcumin in one softgel delivers the equivalency of nearly 75 (100 mg) capsules of standardized
curcumin extract. Even more, in a recent clinical study, Solgar Full Spectrum Curcumin was shown to be longer lasting so it stays
in your system for a full 24 hours. 9 Now, for brain, joint, and immune health Solgar changes what you believed was possible from
curcumin forever. Solgar Full Spectrum Curcumin one softgel, once a day185X better. 9*

Youd think that pulling off a farm-to-table party would
be a snap for a farmer like me. But truthfully, Im short

late-summer feast with a few farm-inspired touches
and you can, too. Even if you dont have a garden or a
big outdoor entertaining area, relying on some terrific
(and flexible) recipes, visiting a farmers market or your
local CSA, and using a few simple decorating ideas
make it a breeze to create a relaxed, fresh-from-the-
farm atmosphere for a gathering of friends.

Write your menu on a
chalkboard and put it where
everyone can see it. Include
notes about which produce
varieties youve chosen or
which farm they came from.
Arrange a row of tin cans or
canning jars down the mid-
dle of your table, or cluster
them in the center. Fill each
with small, short bunches of
fresh herbs or edible flowers.
Fill a galvanized tub with ice
to chill wine and beer.

tsp. ground cumin
1 Put eggs in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Cover

with cold water. Bring to boil over medium-high heat.
Immediately remove from heat, cover, and let stand
12 minutes. Rinse under cold water or submerge in ice
water until cool. Peel.
2 Halve eggs lengthwise, and scoop or squeeze yolk
from each egg half into medium bowl. Arrange lime
slices, if using, on plate or platter. Arrange egg halves
atop lime slices, or directly on platter.
3 In medium bowl, mash together yolks, yogurt,
chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and cumin, and
season with salt and pepper, if desired.
4 Dollop yolk mixture evenly (and generously) into egg
halves with small spoon. (If any egg whites are damaged
from peeling, discard these and opt for more filling in
remaining egg whites.) Garnish eggs with cilantro leaves.

For a feeling of abundance,

theres nothing like serving food
on wide platters and in shallow
bowls. Here, a handful of tips on
how to transform your food into
dinner dcor:
Set everything in the middle
of the table or on a side table,
including dessert. (The crostata
here looks lovely on a plain wood
cutting board.)
Garnish loosely but generously
with fresh herbs. Experiment
with a new herb (like garlic chives
instead of chives, or lime basil
instead of basil) and remember
that herb blossoms are edible
and pretty, too. Include a pitcher
of ice water with mint sprigs and
lemon slices.
Add a few local products from
the farmers market: an artisanal
cheese, a jar of honey, a loaf of
bread.
Serve a platter of just-sliced
beefsteak tomatoesas well as
a bottle of olive oil and a bowl
of sea salt. Keep your eyes open
at the market for other seasonal
finds, and serve them simply in
addition to or in place of some-
thing else on the menu.
To re-create a farm feel, think
simple, functional, and rustic, with
a touch of whimsical.
Wood and metal surfaces,
and anything salvaged, are typical
of a working farm.
STONE FRUIT CROS TATAS WITH PECAN-CRISP TOPPING

MAKES 2 CROSTATAS
Rustic, free-form tarts are my favorite summer dessert for entertaining. I make the dough for the buttery crust in the food processor
a day or two ahead and refrigerate it. Or I freeze it for up to a month. Then, I use whatever combination of ripe stone fruit (peaches,
nectarines, apricots, plums, pluots) I can find for the filling.
Dough Topping Crostatas tsp. any combination

2 cups all-purpose flour cup all-purpose flour 1 lbs. nectarines, plums, ground cinnamon and
2 Tbs. granulated sugar cup chopped, toasted pluots, and/or peeled ground ginger, plus big
tsp. salt pecans peaches, cored and thinly pinch of cloves or
8 oz. (2 sticks) cold, unsalted 3 Tbs. dark brown sugar sliced (44 cups) cardamom
butter, cut into cubes
1 8 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. lemon juice 1 egg yolk
2 Tbs. cold, unsalted butter, 23 Tbs. granulated sugar 2 Tbs. heavy cream
diced 34 Tbs. all-purpose flour 2 Tbs. chopped,
toasted pecans
1 To make Dough: Briefly pulse flour, sugar, and salt in food processor to combine. Add butter cubes, and pulse 18 to 20 times, or until butter pieces
are size of small pebbles. With motor running, add 4 Tbs. ice water, and process until dough just starts to come away from sides. Transfer dough
to large bowl, and knead briefly with your palm to finish bringing together. Shape Dough into two 6-inch disks. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate
30 minutes, overnight, or up to 3 days.
2 Meanwhile, to make Topping: Combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt in small bowl. Rub butter into flour mixture with
fingers until fine, crumbly topping forms. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3 Preheat oven to 400F. Arrange one oven rack in top third of oven, other rack in bottom third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
4 To make Crostatas: Toss together fruit, lemon juice, and sugar in bowl. Add flour, spices, and big pinch of salt, if desired, and toss to combine.
5 Whisk together egg yolk and heavy cream in small bowl; set aside.
6 Roll out Dough disks to 12-inch circles on lightly floured work surface. Transfer disks to prepared baking sheets.
7 Sprinkle 1 Tbs. chopped pecans over middle of each dough circle, leaving a 2-inch border. Divide fruit mixture between two Crostatas, arranging in
center of dough over pecans and leaving 2-inch border. Pleat and fold edge of dough up and over outer edge of fruit filling. Brush top of dough (and
under folds) with egg mixture. Arrange half of crisp topping over fruit (and spilling over onto dough) in center of each tart.
8 Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until browned on top and crisp and brown on bottom, rotating sheetpans halfway through. Cool on baking sheets until
easy to handle. Slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Modern Kylee
Kylee Newton shares her contemporary
twist on making jams and preserves
By Mary Margaret Chappell
WHO SAYS HOMEMADE preserves have to have a homespun

feel? In her new book, The Modern Preserver, London entrepreneur
Kylee Newton demonstrates just the opposite. From flower-
infused jams to heirloom-vegetable pickles, Newtons creations
pair traditional techniques with fresh, new flavors and can all be
prepared in even the tiniest urban-dwellers kitchen.

Remove pots from heat,
but make sure water stays
hot and jars and lids are
submerged, ready to use. Use
tongs to remove jars and lids
from hot water, and carefully
shake dry. Alternatively, heat
jars and lids in dishwasher on
the rinse cycle (remove with
tongs) or heat clean, dry, lid-
ded jars in the oven at 250F
for 20 minutes (Newtons
favorite method).
2 Seal
Fill sterilized jars, leaving

close lid.
3 Process in a

Place a canning rack or
cake rack in bottom of large
stockpot, and fill pot halfway
with water. Stand filled and
sealed jars on rack in pot,
adding extra water, if neces-
sary, to cover jars by at least
1 inch. Bring water to a rolling
boil, and boil jars 10 minutes.
Carefully remove jars from
pot with tongs, and allow to
cool before labeling and stor-
ing them.

I called this Posh Piccalilli because I want
people to experiment with different

Newton. The Anglo-Indian classic pickle can
be eaten right away, but it tastes best after three

mellowed and lost some of its bite.

beans, heritage carrots, Romanesco broccoli,
shallots, zucchini. Cut larger vegetables
into 1-inch pieces.

1 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 Tbs. yellow mustard seeds
2 Tbs. cornstarch
2 tsp. ground turmeric
2 tsp. yellow mustard powder
3 cups cider vinegar
cup granulated sugar
4 Tbs. honey
1 Combine vegetables and salt in large, nonreactive

bowl. Let stand at least 24 hours at room temperature.
Rinse vegetables, drain, and dry in salad spinner or by
patting dry with kitchen towel or paper towels.
2 Crush coriander, cumin, and mustard seeds
together with mortar and pestle. Transfer to bowl, and
stir in cornstarch, turmeric, and mustard powder. Stir in
cup vinegar to make a thin paste.
3 Bring remaining vinegar, sugar, and honey to a
gentle simmer in medium stainless-steel pan, slowly
dissolving sugar. Whisk ladle of warmed vinegar-sugar
mixture into spice mix. Slowly stir spice-mix vinegar

CRPES WITH BL ACKBERRY SAUCE AND ORANGE-SCENTED RICOT TA

SERVES 4
The secret to crpe-making success? Letting the batter rest as long as needed for the frothiness and bubbles to subside, so it can
spread smoothly and evenly across the pan. All of the recipe components can be made ahead of time, so the filled crpes come
together quickly when its time for dessert.

2 To make Filling: Pulse all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3 To make Sauce: Bring all ingredients to a simmer in small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until mixture is juicy and berries
are softened. Smash berries against sides of saucepan with fork, and simmer 3 to 4 minutes more. Set aside.
