Chefs of the Month: Stu Stein and Mary Hinds

We firmly believe that organic, chemical-free food is better for the soul, and we base our entire menu on this philosophy. We bring local fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, and handcrafted wines, beers, and cheeses directly from our neighborhood farms and producers into our restaurant. Our menu changes daily based on the quality of organic, antibiotic and hormone-free meats and produce available to us each day. We support farming techniques that are sustainable, organic, and regenerative. We believe in the Earth-2-Table concept, which celebrates indigenous ingredients and affirms the web of ethnic strands that define this region. Our goal is to bring the entire Earth-2-Table process closer to the diner. For the rest of the story and a chance to win a copy of their new cookbook, The Sustainable Kitchen, Click Here

Cynthia's Corner, Cherry Recipes: Dukes, Royals, Mazzards, Cherries and more!

A couple days ago, I was working on my weekly newspaper food column, and I decided to center it on cherries, being that it is basically cherry season. And of course, the fact that I absolutely love cherries of all kind, but especially fresh ones, didn't hurt the story line.

I grew up (as some of my readers might remember) in Ambridge, PA, just a matter of miles down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh. Ambridge was originally settled by members of the Harmony Society religious sect, who came to America for religious freedom.

The Harmonists believed that the Second Coming of Jesus would happen within their lifetime, and because they wanted to be ready and found worthy, they gave up marriage. The men lived apart from the women. But however religious they were, they were known for some of the finest silk and champagne to be found in the Eastern part of our country. They also were excellent cooks, and had orchards throughout the area.
