<title>Eritrean refugee finds home in cooking</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20943/20121123/eritrean-refugee-finds-home-in-cooking</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 23, 2012) Eritrea is a small country in the African Horn.  It&apos;s been at war on and off with neighboring Ethiopia for decades. And since 2001, the government has been sending thousands of its citizens to prison for being a part of any faith group that isn&apos;t on the government&apos;s approved list of churches.Jemila Saleh is sure she would have been sent to prison for her beliefs, if it hadn&apos;t been for a series of what she calls miracles. Just after her pastor was imprisoned, Jemila connected with a church here in the North Country, and they offered to support her escape. So in the middle of the night Jemila packed up all she could, and got on airplane with her three daughters. Members of the church picked them up at the Syracuse airport with a backseat full of blankets and winter coats, and brought them to their new apartment in Potsdam, which the church members had rented and furnished. Four and a half years later, Jemila has a degree in finance from SUNY Canton, her daughters are in school, and Jemila is practicing her faith freely here. But the way she&apos;s kept a grip on her life, and her story, is through cooking.

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 19, 2012) Food is on many a mind as Thanksgiving approaches. Of course, there will be potatoes, squash, and green beans for the big meal. But what about something different? This past summer, Julie Grant was at the Canton farmers&apos; market looking for something new to put on the table. So she picked up a space-age looking veggie, a kohlrabi, and set out to find some recipes.

<title>The benefits of eating bugs</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 29, 2011) Most people in Asia, Africa and South America eat bugs—prepared with shallots, lettuce, chilies, lime or spices. So, why not the rest of us? Seattle-based naturalist and author David George Gordon has written 19 books on a subject that makes some people squirm.  Orzo with Crickets?  Three Bee Salad? Waxworm cookies?  Gordon says it&apos;s all good for us.  Todd Moe spoke with him as he was about to bake European house crickets for one of his favorite creepy-crawly dishes.  He says it&apos;s cuisine he&apos;ll share during BuzzFest at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake this Saturday.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 7, 2011) A fun new book presents 34 men who proudly take charge of the family kitchen. It’s called A Man With a Pan, with the subtitle Culinary Adventures of Fathers Who Cook for Their Families. According to the publisher’s press release, fathers now account for nearly a third of family-cooking time. That’s up from 5% in 1965. The book is edited by John Donohue of the New Yorker magazine. He does most of the cooking for his own family, his wife and two daughters.There are big names among his 34 contributors: chefs Mark Bittman and Mario Batali, as well as authors Stephen King, Jim Harrison and Mark Kurlansky. But the book also includes interviews with lower profile guys, regular fathers across the country.Brett Thacher, a cooking Dad from Canton, is one of them. He was in the NCPR studios this morning to talk with Martha Foley.

<title>TLC for the young garden</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 6, 2011) It&apos;s a challenging year, no doubt about it, for gardeners and commercial growers — and the plants they&apos;re tending. There may be too much water in some places, but not enough in others, after a series of dry, sunny and windy days, and a couple of nights in the 30s. Cornell Cooperative extension horticulturist Amy Ivy has some reminders about garden TLC in her weekly chat with Martha Foley.  And they preview workshops on using local food, homegrown or not, starting next week in Sacket&apos;s Harbor, Canton and Plattsburgh.
