In our magazine, Rachel Wharton takes a closer look at Purple Yam, the sublime Filipino restaurant on Ditmas Park’s up-and-coming Cortelyou Road. As she puts it, “Besa and Dorotan may have both grown up in the Philippines, but their restaurant is to Filipino food what Pies ’n’ Thighs is to chicken and biscuits, what Franny’s and the Frankies are to Italian food: kind of like your mother’s cooking, but only if she once worked the line in a four-star restaurant.”

It’s Labor Day weekend, which means two things: you don’t have to work Monday (hopefully!) and Brooklyn is about to start pulsing with the sounds and sights–and eats– of The West Indian Day Parade. Our mouths are watering already for a cool drink of sorrel and some spicy jerk chicken.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Pesce makes limoncello in Carroll Gardens using culinary geranium–an ingredient he discovered on the Amalfi Coast. The citrus-scented herb grows in the city, too, but with or without it, making limoncello at home is a snap.

In our current issue, Rachel Wharton introduces us to Park Slope chef Ronna Welsh, who goes from home to home teaching cooks like us the art of “mise en place to plate” cooking–basically how to prep what you buy at the market so you can throw together quick, delicious meals all week long like they do in restaurants.
