Cooking with Chef Romero
“Let me tell you about artichokes,” he said to me. His voice lowered. His eyes darted to the left and right while he leaned in closer to the table. “They are very difficult to cook properly,” he said. “Removing the leaves, handling the heart, the hairs, it all must be done just right. This is a vegetable they test you ...

King Kone
By Gia Miller Photography by Justin Negard If you live in Northern Westchester, odds are good that you’ve been to King Kone at least once. In fact, odds are also good that between April and October, the person you Venmo the most is Deb Hopkins. Yeah, that’s us, too. King Kone began in 1953 when a local family opened a ...

Out Loud: Listen
Writing by Laura Hull Founders’ note: Not everyone is born with the ability to use their voice. Not everyone can easily communicate their thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams. On this page, we’re giving non speaking people in our community the opportunity to be heard. The authors are students at Mouth to Hand Learning Center in Mount Kisco. You can read ...
DIY Hero
In the modern world of YouTube videos and ‘how-to’ websites, the DIY solution can be tempting. A two minute video can be all the inspiration needed to break out the welding torch and chainsaw. But should you? How do you know what’s within reach and what’s going to burn the house down or leave you knee-high in a basement full ...
The New York Botanical Garden
Writing and photography by Justin Negard Spring – it’s the time of year that evokes images of sunshine, rainbows, bunny rabbits and … the Bronx? Admittedly, the screeching wheels of the 4 train or a not-too-subtle expletive on the Mosholu Parkway do not come to mind when thinking of spring. And yet, the Bronx, or more specifically, the New York ...

Think You’re Too Busy to Green Your Home?
Here's how start, while barely lifting a finger. By Gia Miller When it comes to making your home more environmentally friendly, the lengthy (and potentially expensive) “to do” list can be paralyzing. Do I install a heat pump first? Invest in solar panels? Buy new appliances or get a “smart” thermostat? The answer to all these questions is “no.” Instead, ...
Piece By Piece
By Cathy Deutsch Seventeen years ago, when Katonah resident Ali Voron was a newlywed, she began collecting unusual odds, ends and furniture she found interesting. “We were just starting out, and we didn’t have the funds or the desire for typical mass manufactured furnishings,” says Voron, who opened Piece Revival in Cross River in March 2023. “I've always been artistic ...
The Future of Farming
Climate change, a shrinking water supply, land scarcity, invasive species, disease, trade wars, mega farms – the farming industry is simply not sustainable in its current state. Something must change. But what? Those with their eye toward the future of farming say it’s the farmer and their practices that should change. The broad focus, they say, should center around caring ...

It Takes A Village
A week before Christmas, the kitchen staff at Mt. Kisco’s Village Social come in to work a bit earlier and stay a bit later each evening to prepare holiday meals for those less fortunate. They're doing their part to support The Westchester Christmas Dinner, and last year they prepared all the meals for 235 local families and people living alone ...

Reframing Your Mental Health Condition
by Rich Monetti artwork by Andrea Jaffee If you deal with the symptoms of anxiety or depression, you might view them as scourges that hinder your day-to-day well-being. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, if you’re able to view your symptoms in a different and more positive manner, you may actually learn to live with them ...
“Soul Deep” Self Care
The term self-care gets bandied about quite a bit these days – here’s what you need to do before you can take care of yourself properly For many people “self-care” brings to mind the image of candlelit baths and aromatherapy massages. And while those are two stellar ways of caring for yourself, if you’re dealing with any kind of mental health challenge, ...
Seasonal Sadness
Writing by Gia Miller Artwork by Zoe Stevens No matter how much you love snow, a roaring fire or a hearty bowl of stew, less daily sunshine, more layers of clothing and icy roads that force you to stay indoors can make anyone feel a little blue. But for some, a biochemical imbalance in their brain causes a seasonal depression ...

2023 Pride Events
Before this year, I’d never been to a pride event before, and I didn’t know there were any in Northern Westchester. I felt alone, and like my community didn’t support me. But now that I’ve learned what’s around us, I want to shout it from the rooftops….or write it about online. Here’s what’s on the gay agenda for June, so ...
