scorpacciata is a word i encountered in the Mario Batali cookbook 'Babbo'. it means to eat not only seasonally, but hyper-seasonally. to consume as much as you can of something, while you can. apricots come to mind. asparagus. heirloom tomatoes. this will be a blog about cooking.... and pop-culture ephemera.... basically the detritus in my brain
I listened to these stories when they were broadcast, but forgot to post the links. Nice stories on Madhur Jaffrey, Marcella Hazan, and Jacques Pépin. I knew most of the JP anecdotes, because I've read his book, but all of the radio stories were great, and there's extra online content, too.
