About Gabrielle Langholtz
Gabrielle Langholtz went to high school in Manhattan but fell in love with Brooklyn while at college in Virginia, where her local bar had Brooklyn Brewery Stout on tap. She swilled it while writing her undergraduate honors thesis on the Brooklyn Bridge’s symbolism in art and literature, and moved to the boro upon graduating (‘98). While battling a vegetable addiction, she was simultaneously a member of the Park Slope Food Co-op, tended a community garden plot, held a CSA membership, spent weekends on a farm upstate, and was a farmers market shopaholic. She has taught in the NYU Food Studies department and for five years has managed publicity for Greenmarket, the nation’s largest network of farmers markets. She makes jam and pickles in her Park Slope apartment, pretending it’s a farmhouse, and says her personal mission statement is to raise public awareness about the impacts different eating choices have on ecology, health, and the richness of life.

I’ve got two criteria for summer sustenance: a maximum of Greenmarket ingredients and a minimum of minutes at the stove. If you’re similarly inclined, you’ll want to make every recipe in the just-released Salads: Beyond the Bowl (Kyle Books, $19.95) by our friend Mindy Fox.

Rather his goal was to revive a marketplace where Manhattanites have bought local food for centuries, to nurture nascent artisan endeavors, to build community and to introduce thousands of New Yorkers to one another over food that is indeed good, clean and fair.

Start spreading the news! Edible Manhattan’s first-ever dairy-themed issue has hit the streets and it’s a doozy—oozing everything from tres leches cake uptown and triple-crème camembert upstate to Little Italy’s last best ricotta and a hot Icelandic expat turned Tribeca yogurt don.
