Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/28/2009   to loki5- persimmons are available Nov. to Feb. I am sure you can substitute them for peaches, or roasted golden beets, or roasted butternut squash.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/19/2009   Cheese paper is a great way to store your cheeses. Specifically designed to keep cheese fresh and delicious, cheese paper has an outer waxy layer and an inner plastic layer that allows the cheese to breathe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/17/2009   I'm an Aussie and heard Martha mention that the audience would receive cheese and "cheese paper". I am very interested to learn what that is. Can anyone help me?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/16/2009   I would love to make this salad but doubt I ever will. I live in the country and even the nearest large city does not have persimmons. I could find the hazelnut oil and sherry vinegar if I were willing to drive for 2 hours to that "nearby" city but it will have to wait till my net scheduled trip. As for the watercress, I will probably have to grow that in the garden next summer. It is possible that I could gather the ingredients by this coming fall, I think.
