Need some inspiration for your Winter Vegetable haul? Here are some simple and elegant ideas to make the most of our favorite winter veggies: 

 This winter chef's salad is crunchy, rich and satisfying.  Sustainable oil cured tuna + crip local winter veggies and citrus makes for a quick and easy salad that is healthy yet totally delicious and refreshing.  The secret ingredient: a mix of raw crunchy vegetables (like radishes and cucumber) to complement the lush textures of tuna and Thassos olives.

Frico is one of the simplest recipes we know, and yet the result is so delicious you would never know it was so easy. If you do it right, you get a beautiful cheesy potato pancake that is the perfect base for all kinds of fabulous toppings or all by itself. 

Building the perfect cheese and salumi board isn't as hard as all the "instagram cheesemonger celebrities" make it look, we stick to a few simple principles and if you follow these rules your platters will be the star of your next dinner or date night!

For this squash curry we use the squash as the cooking vessel as well as main ingredient.  The result is beautiful way to impart deep nuanced flavor while reducing dishes and complexity. 

Our farmers work so hard to grow all of the beautiful vegetables that we get from them.  We are always looking for more ways to honor all their care and effort by using as much of every vegetable as we possible can. That's where these crunchy and addictive roasted squash seeds come in.  Since we always prefer less dishes, this is also a great way to reuse the pan you roasted your squash in before you clean it, ensuring that you get a bonus snack for the next day out of your dinner.  

These Shiitake Fries are so easy and fast, we make them for a snack anytime we are craving a crunchy treat, if done right you get a deeply flavorful mushroom french fry that is healthy and delicious, either on their own or as an addition to other dishes. This is barely a recipe, it is so easy, but, There is a secret trick - the quality of the Shiitakes, we use our Oak Log grown Shiitakes because they are big and plump and full of flavor, smaller shiitakes may work but they will be a little more leathery in texture.1/2 Lb - Oak Log Shiitakes

This Thai inspired eggplant salad is quick and delicious.  The flavors are bright and deeply layered.  Great as an entree or a side.  We make our with duck but it can absolutely be done as a vegetarian dish using our Crispy Shiitake recipe.

This is a modified version of Jacque Pepin's classic Duck à l'orange, we used meyer lemon + ginger and it was absolutely fabulous.  It takes about 3 hours, but only 30 minutes of active work.  

Our simplest most delicious pesto recipe, no tools/equipment besides a knife, bowl, board and fork required. Like all things, the quality fo the finished product is only as good as it's parts(good parm, evoo, garlic, basil are a MUST!).

This is a super savory and satisfying vegetarian dinner that we built around the plump deeply flavorful oak log grown shiitakes that we are getting from upstate.  It's fast and easy, but the ingredient list is short so the end result will only be as good as what you put into it.  

Sugo means sauce in Italian and this is a super quick tomato sauce that can be made in under 20 minutes. It is incredibly flavorful and so versatile, we put it on pasta, pizza, or dress vegetables with it; anytime I make it I always test it by scooping a healthy amount on a fresh loaf of bread(chef tax!)
