 There are some good things going on for foodies in Ramsey, most notably the rash of new restaurants recently opened and my favorite indoor farmers market. The Ramsey Farmers Market open Sundays from 10am-2pm at the Eric Smith School at 73 Monroe Street is a treasure trove of organic vendors and locally sourced produce, cheese, meat, honey, breads, confections, coffee, tea, eggs, baked goods, jams and preserves, pickles, body care products and more.

 Last month, our executive editor Deborah Smith passed along an invitation to an intimate press dinner at the Liberty House in Jersey City that I jumped at the chance to cover. You may remember my post last year about their Mac ‘n’ Cheese Meltdown (which they may be bringing back, fingers crossed!), and ever since then, the restaurant has been on my radar for unique American comfort food cuisine with one of the most spectacular atmospheres on the Hudson.

 No offense to the summer squash lovers out there, but quite frankly, I find zucchini a bit boring. Not that boring is necessarily a bad thing. Boring is what makes Zucchini so versatile. From soups to desserts, the common garden variety zucchini has the ability to morph into practically anything we want.

 For the past couple of years, we’ve enjoyed locally grown New Jersey produce and other local products at the annual Farm to Fork restaurant event sponsored by South Jersey Hot Chefs. Held each summer, the event provides participating chefs in the Burlington, Camden and Gloucester county areas to strut their culinary stuff and showcase local food producers at the same time. The South Jersey Hot Chefs website lists the participating restaurant, so you can peruse menus through links to the websites of member restaurants. Dinners are priced at either $35 or $25, and typically include 3, 4 or even 5 courses. Many of the locations are BYOB, so you can tote along your favorite wine, too,

 Of all New Jersey’s bountiful fruit, peaches may take the cake – or perhaps the peach cobbler. A versatile fruit, peaches can be used in every course and bring a little pizazz. The perfect peach is sweet, juicy, and flavorful as your teeth or knife cuts into it. Luckily, peaches can be found all summer long into fall – from early July to early October, in many varieties.

 Sweet corn season is in full swing in northern New Jersey. At Farm’s View Roadstand in Wayne (945 Black Oak Ridge Road) they’re picking their own, and by the looks of it, there’s more than enough to go around.

 When trying to cook in season some of the hardiest riders on the produce truck are peppers. One of my personal favorites with an exceptionally long growing season, March to about September or perhaps October with this year’s weather, are long hots. They are a great addition to any dinner but beware. While they don’t have the guaranteed heat of their capsaicin filled brethren the habaneros or heaven forbid Scotch Bonnets, long hots are (in the paraphrased words of Forrest Gump) like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

 It’s Sunday morning in Bergen County and the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the breeze is blowing. What a beautiful day for a visit to the Ramsey Farmers’ Market, now in its 2nd year. One of the things I like most about the Ramsey Farmers Market is the live music. Each week they have music by different local bands. On the day I was there, 15 year old, Matt Roy, was playing his guitar and singing. I stopped and listened while he sang a couple of good Springsteen songs, then started on my quest to find the best fruits and veggies to make dinner for my family, especially my vegan daughter who was coming home from a music festival weekend.
