Want to meet your favorite Good. Food. Stories. editors up close and personal and sample some of our signature dishes? If you’re in New York this summer, you’re in luck, because we’ll be showcasing our favorite seasonal foods with locally-grown ingredients at the New York Botanical Garden’s Edible Garden.
On Sunday, August 1, Danielle and Casey will be demonstrating our famous Spaghetti Carbonara as we celebrate all that is good about garlic. And on Sunday, September 19, we’ll show you how to make a Roman gladiator salad with shaved fennel and oranges.
Cooking demonstrations are at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm on both days, and we’d love to see familiar faces in the audience. Allow yourselves time to stroll through the NYBG’s 250 acres of more than a million plants; The Edible Garden itself has four (count ‘em, four) kitchen gardens—including a culinary herb garden curated by Martha Stewart!—and the Conservatory Container Garden, which helps all you small-spacers out with ideas for growing on your balconies and rooftops.
If you’re working on your own homesteader’s plot of land, home gardening demonstrations are happening each weekend too. Take a look through the complete schedule of events to see if anything else strikes your fancy, and if you buy tickets online, you’ll save $2 off each ticket with waived print-at-home fees. Plus, all proceeds benefit the Children’s Gardening Program.
The Edible Garden runs through October 17 at the New York Botanical Garden (directions here—easy as pie using Metro-North), but mark your calendars now for Sunday, August 1 and Sunday, September 19 at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. And bring your appetite.

That is so great, I’m happy for you! Wish I could be there to see your famous carbonara. Get it on video for me!
Hope your recipe for the Roman Gladiator Salad will be posted for those of us who will miss the September 19th event. For all readers, try the Mediterranean Orzo Salad before summer ends!
