Bottled Sunshine
Lemon curd goes well with lavender shortbread cookies and is a good way to use up a dozen lemons when life hands you a barrel full. Zest and juice about 12 small-medium lemons. You’re looking for 1/2 cup of lemon juice and I like to use however much zest accompanies that much juice. It should…
Saucy
In a food processor, crush 1/4 cup raw almonds until finely ground. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup packed basil (if you use purple, it gets to be crushed almond purple sauce), the zest of one lemon, the juice of one lemon, three seeded and de-stemmed red jalapenos, and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive…
Orange, Earl Grey, and Matcha

Mix until the dough comes together, about 2-3 minutes. Continue mixing at a slightly faster speed until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a tight…
Apple Butter

It doesn’t have to be oven safe, just sturdy. Stir…
Pudding, Three Ways
I was only lucky enough to cook with Buzzy once, but I made sure to pay close attention when he taught me Graham’s family recipe for dessert. We made the vanilla that evening and used it to top some fresh banana slices. Graham and I make ours slightly differently, substituting vanilla almond milk in lieu…
