		<description><![CDATA[ 
This time I tried making mozzarella with raw milk from Cook Farm. It is a local dairy that serves ice cream (try the Inez&#8211;coconut with chocolate chips). You have to order the raw milk  in advance. Interestingly, before I could order, they wanted to make sure I understood what I was ordering and made sure I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Up and down the Pioneer Valley, Polish names on farms, businesses and mailboxes are as common as maple trees. The Valley&#8217;s Polish community is long-established and well-assimilated so there are fewer specialty stores than is the case with more recent ethnic communities. However, there are outposts on either end of the Holyoke Range, in Chicopee [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s long after dinner and the writers are in full party mode, making this an extremely difficult audience. But Bitterman smiles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I told a friend I was writing about artisan bread, she asked what that was. &#8220;Any bread you can&#8217;t roll into a ball the size of a marble,&#8221; I answered flippantly. Actually, I wasn&#8217;t too far off. The term is used to refer to bread made by professional craft bakers &#8212; not the airy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After the article was published, a friend told me I&#8217;d left out some of the best hidden markets&#8211;the Asian markets. I told him I&#8217;d already written about them, but should have mentioned them. So, here&#8217;s the link to an article about those markets, http://blog.russelnod.com/2007/06/28/asian-aisles-navigating-the-pioneer-valleys-most-plentiful-ethnic-markets/.

Part of the fun of food adventuring is discovering a new place to shop or eat. I&#8217;m not ashamed to admit that when my wife and I first visited Grand Bahama Island, our first two stops were the local supermarket and the food stands. The beach [...]]]></description>

Vendors are already set up or finishing their displays. The Gazette&#8217;s Phyllis Lehrer is arranging vegetables at Bill and Connie Gillan&#8217;s SUNSET FARM stand. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother once told me I&#8217;d know when I was old because I would start reading obituaries. Honestly, I just happen on these articles altho I do read obits now. Scary when more and more of the names are (were?) younger than I am.
Anyway, I saw an article about Vincenzo Marchesi&#8217;s, the owner of Amherst&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first started cooking Chinese food in the mid-1960s, getting any ingredient more exotic than soy sauce involved a trip to New York&#8217;s Chinatown. A decade later in Cambridge, my housemate and I had to trek to Belmont for an Indian grocery. When I moved to the Pioneer Valley in the late &#8217;70s, there [...]]]></description>

Afterward, our freezer is crammed with bags of frozen tortellini, the refrigerator stocked with bright green Cerignola olives, homemade sopressatas, salamis and fresh sausages, and the pantry refilled with dried chestnuts and cans and boxes with Italian labels. I visit the Italian markets of [...]]]></description>
