One of the best things about summer is the leisurely pace. As the heat picks up, the days seem to slow down, bringing with them a sense of relaxation. This week’s food events match that leisurely pace. There’s nothing out of the ordinary on the calendar for Monday through Friday… just the usual. But the “usual” in Bucks County is special, so take advantage!
Dine waterfront. What would Bucks County be without the quaint and quirky river towns, or the beautiful towpath alongside the canal? To me, dining riverside is a quintessential local experience. In fact, in 2011, in Zagat’s selection of 10 Best Waterside Restaurants in the Philadelphia Region, 5 of them were from the Bucks County Area. See the list here: Zagat’s 10 Best Waterside Resturants… or pack a picnic and enjoy the natural beauty. Of course, we would add a bunch more. Email us here and tell us your favorite local waterside restaurant.
Eat a peach. Eat it raw and savor the amazingness that is a fresh, local peach. Or doll it up, with our Grilled Peaches with Maple Caramel Sauce and Ice Cream. Bonus points if you make the ice cream local, too (see our post, Let’s go for ice cream, to find out who’s got it).
Get your grill on. Better yet, grill with local meat, raised carefully using the best practices by your neighbors! Where can you find it? Read Where’s the beef? And pork, and lamb, and chicken… to pick your spot.
Here’s what you’ll find at area farmers’ markets: Apricots, arugula, basil, beets, blueberries, bok choy, broccoli, broccoli rabe, cabbage, carrots, celery, cherries, chives, cilantro, sweet corn (new!), dill, escarole, fennel, garlic, garlic scapes, green beans, green onions, cut herbs, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, mint, mushrooms, mustard greens, napa cabbage, new potatoes, oregano, parsley, peaches (new!), potatoes, radicchio, radishes, rosemary, sage, scallions, snap peas, spinach, spring onions, spring turnips, Swiss chard, summer squash, tatsoi, thyme, tomatoes, zucchini and more.
Most markets will also have eggs from free-range chickens, grass-fed and pastured meats, preserves, specialty foods, baked goods like breads, cakes, cookies and pastries, cheese and yogurt, cider and juice, sauces locally roasted coffee, and interesting crafts from local artisans.
