Mulberry Jam
The mulberry season comes and goes each summer, and the fruit itself doesn’t last long after harvest. Have you ever wondered why you never see mulberries at the grocery store? If you’ve ever handled mulberries, you’ll know how annoyingly delicate they are. It’s impossible to pick these purple-black...

Panna cotta is a simple Italian dessert made of essentially cream, sugar and gelatin.

Pickled Fava Beans
Whenever I think of fava beans, I think of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal and his famous scene describing how he paired one of his victim’s livers with fava beans and “a nice chianti.” This iconic scene has forever made me associate fava beans with deep rich flavors and that creepy slurping noise he...

Fermented Garlic Scapes
Trying to imagine my life without garlic is like trying to imagine my life in black and white. Garlic, second maybe only to salt, is elemental in what Jim Harrison coined “living vividly,” which is the closest thing I’ve got to religion, making garlic something of a sacrament—a daily one, in my case...

Sesame Snakehead Lettuce Wraps
Depending on who you ask, Northern snakeheads (Channa argus) are either the worst thing or best thing ever to happen to the Potomac River and the surrounding water systems.

Mugolio: Pinecone Syrup You Can Put on Everything
Mugolio is my favorite party trick. It turns a bowl of plain vanilla ice cream into a primeval forest treat, a well-liquor drink into a top-shelf cocktail, or a humble chevre into a Michelin-star cheese course, and all for the cost of a few cups of sugar.

Smoked Fish Rillette
Rillette is a fancy term for a chunky dip or spread. The most traditional rillettes are made with braised meat and fat-think duck and duck fat or rabbit. Unlike the more refined pâté, rillettes have more texture and a rustic appearance. Both are typically served with some crusty bread, crackers, and...
