JBF and the Illumination Fund Collaborate on the NYC Green Cart Fresh Food Pack

by JBF Editors on August 07, 2012

 

Seeing that education is an important slice of the JBF pie, we’re always looking for opportunities to help others learn about the value of good meal. So when the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund—a supporter of the New York City Department of Health’s Green Cart Initiative—invited us to collaborate on a project that feeds our fellow New Yorkers, we were more than happy to oblige.
 
In an effort to improve the diets of city dwellers with limited access to fresh produce, the Green Cart Initiative has just released the NYC Green Cart Fresh Food Pack, a two-part collection of 20 recipes made with fruits and vegetables commonly and seasonally found on Green Carts.

Recipe Roundup: JBF Award Gala Inspiration

by JBF Editors on May 10, 2012

 

To commemorate JBF's 25th anniversary, we asked each of the gala reception chefs to create a dish inspired by one of Beard's recipes. Here are a few of Jim's original dishes that were so artfully tweaked on Monday night:

 

Blini with Caviar
Gary Danko's crisp blini topped with smoked salmon and Pacific Plaza caviar was a riff on this classic Beard recipe.

 

Chicken with Tarragon
"I believe that if ever I had to practice cannibalism, I might manage if there were enough tarragon around," Beard once famously declared. Though the Awards were a cannibalism-free zone, Beard's version of Poulet à l'Estragon was the inspiration for Tre Wilcox's gala reception dish: seared shrimp served with tarragon–Parmesan grits.

Recipes from the Best of the Best: Lidia Bastianich's Grilled Tuna

by JBF Editors on April 25, 2012

Lidia Bastianich's recipe for grilled yellowfin tuna with beet salad and Humboldt Fog, adapted by the James Beard Foundation

 

When a dish is seemingly found on nearly every menu, we know it's because the flavor equation is a winner. But for the New American standard of tuna with beet salad, JBF Award winner Lidia Bastianich has added a touch that invites renewed appreciation. She coats the tuna in panko and Grana Padano cheese, which darkens to a umami-rich crust when the fish is seared on a piping hot grill. Get the recipe here.
