Aromatic veggie adapts to a wide range of ingredients and preparations
Florence fennel—the lightly licorice-flavored plant whose stems form an edible bulb at their base—usually makes a very brief appearance this time of year in our part of the world.

You went to your farmers market and bought stuff. Now what?
Michael Pollan, author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and the standard-bearer of the local food movement, has been promoting his new book lately, "Cooked."
