Tip of the Week
Winter Squash Storage
Winter squash will last well into the new year if it is stored properly.
Check the squash before storing it to make sure the skin is sound. Check
carefully around the stem. If there is any dirt, wash it off and dry the squash. The ideal storage spot will be just warmer than 50º F, with good air circulation and low humidity. Check the squash from time to time, and if it develops a soft spot or mold, cut out the bad part and cook the rest right away. Baked or steamed squash can be puréed or cut into chunks and stored in the freezer.
Another hint: Pureed squash makes a great sauce for pizza. Try a squash pizza with cranberries, apple slices, and Gruyere cheese.

Special Event: Book Signing with Tami Parr
 This Saturday, Tami Parr, Author of Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest will join the Hollywood Farmers' Market for a book signing. Get a jump on your holiday shopping with this great gift for your favorite cheese lover or northwest locavore!
From the Countryman Press website:
[Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest] is the first book to take a comprehensive look at artisan cheese--the cheese itself, the cheesemakers, and the trends surrounding its current renaissance--in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.
Artisan Cheese of the Pacific Northwest
is an in-depth guide to this region's artisan cheeses. The author, a
judge at the 2006 American Cheese Society competition, examines each
region's cheesemakers who are breaking new ground and winning awards
with their handcrafted cheeses.
Profiles
of individual cheesemakers give information about their operation and
their cheeses as well as chronicle their passion and commitment to what
they do. In addition, appendices cover background information about
cheesemaking, including a glossary and a "cheese basics" section that
lists various types of cheeses and how to pair them with wine and beer.
Selected recipes from local chefs and cheesemakers offer even more ways
to appreciate Northwest artisan cheese.
Tami Parr is the author of the Pacific Northwest Cheese Project website,
the online authority for news and information about artisan cheese in
the Pacific Northwest. Her articles have appeared in numerous
publications, including The Oregonian, Edible Portland, Mix, and Northwest Palate Magazine.
Parr is currently president of the Oregon Cheese Guild and a member of
the American Cheese Society. She lives in Portland, OR.
