Summer Peach Old Fashioned
We love an Old Fashioned, but it often feels like a cold-weather drink. Enter - peaches. Or really any summer stone fruit. This is so simple and so delicious on a balmy summer day.
We've offered Runamok Cocktail Syrups for a few years now because they do such a good job at creating delicious, all natural flavor infusions. Enjoy the smoked version or regular, depending on your preference. Hello campfire vibes!
Bloody Mary Mignonette
When I see Celery Salt, I think of two things- Lobster Rolls + Bloody Mary's! We've got our Southwest Bloody Mary Cocktail Recipe here in the Recipe Box, but how incredible would it be if each slurp of a fresh raw oyster had a Bloody Mary shot in it? Yum! While oysters are my go-to, you can find a collection of other ideas on how to use this mignonette at the end! Happy shucking!
Citrus Salad with Fennel Pollen
Hellllloooo new ingredient! Fennel Pollen is here + ready to play! Unfamiliar with fennel pollen? We've got it all covered in this blog post- what it is, what it's like, where it comes from + more. With such a beautiful, delicate ingredient it is important to give it the spot light. Here we made a bright, springy salad that essentially dresses itself between bites with the blood oranges. It makes a great mid-day snack or an impressive appetizer ((especially with this AE Ceramics Oyster plate!)
Aleppo Oil
If you've read through our Meet Amy blog, linked here, you're probably still thinking about this gorgeous Aleppo oil. Lucky for us- she shared how she does it. The opportunities are endless with this condiment!
Harissa Hummus (+ Hummus Base Recipe)
The addition of Harissa to the hummus creates both a tasty and healthy dish. Use this on pita bread or as a side with other classic Middle Eastern dishes. The fresh flavor, coupled with the subtle heat of the Harrisa, will make it the star of the meal.
Pizza Sauce
SKORDO Pizza Sauce Blend is a prime example of our blends + rubs doing all of the work for you. This is our family sauce recipe after years of trial and error! Use it on pizza or pasta, it'll always be delicious.
Tea Party!
Between dry January and a frigid winter, I have been reaching towards a mug of tea at least two times a day. While we rarely carry teas in the shops, we do always have our collection of herbs + spices that can be quickly steeped into a flavorful tea. Whether you enjoy these recipes as is, or use them to upgrade a basic black tea, they're certain to warm you up.
Chili-Lime Mock-a-rita
The perfect tequila free margarita brought to you by the the team at Vena's Fizz House. We're a big fan of this spicy, sweet and citrusy pick me up.
Lavender Lemon Fizz
A mock-tail filled with sweet florals by the team at Vena's Fizz House. We love it as is, or dressed up with gin.
Pineapple Sparkler
Take a trip to the islands with the help of this fizzy, fruity mock-tail by Vena's Fizz House. We love the tart undertones that elevate this juicy drink.
Winter Salad with Fig Balsamic Dressing
In my opinion, salads are only as good as their dressing. Texture falls very close behind, so let's chat there first. Knowing that this is a fig balsamic base, I'm expecting a little sweetness to balance the sourness. To cater to this, I added maple syrup to the dressing and carried that flavor over to the toppings by way of SKORDO Sugar Hut Pepper. What loves Sugar Hut Pepper? Sweet Potatoes. What loves Sweet Potatoes? Brussel Sprouts. I played this game around the produce aisle until I felt ready to salad because I am not a salad girl and need to carry some excitement through the whole experience haha. However, this is a very adaptable salad and could absolutely be a quick way to elevate some leftovers.
Greek Lemon Turmeric Lentil Soup
Having the time to chop the veggies and toast the spices and taste the soup change + develop as you go is a luxury that makes cooking dinner feel like a date with yourself, and there's nothing more wholesome than that. This soup, like any good soup, feels like a warm hug.
