I think every single foodie watched Bob’s Burger’s “Best Burger” Season 5 Episode and immediately put a black garlic burger on their food bucket list. Heck, the next day I ran to the grocery store to hunt down black garlic to make one for myself. I’ve been spending years making specialty burgers and have finally …
Pinterest Facebook Twitter Save Mix Reddit Pocket This wild miner’s lettuce salad recipe is our current go-to lunch. It’s tangy, creamy, a little nutty and hits the spot on a sunny winter day. And, it features not just miner’s lettuce but also wild chickweed and sorrel to make it the ultimate foragers’ salad recipe! What …
Of course I will always love a classic burger: beef patty, pickle and tomato slice, a little bit of Ketchum between two buns. It’s a classic for a reason, but what’s so fun about going down the rabbit hole of burger recipes, is the sheer amount of ways you can craft a burger. The patty …
Have you ever gone on a walk in a park or forest trail and noticed a plant that looks just like a lily pad? That’s wild Miner’s Lettuce aka Claytonia Perfoliata! Miners Lettuce is growing in full force right now here in San Francisco thanks to all the winter rain we’ve been having across California. …
Robin and I just came back from one of the coolest classes we’ve ever taken together: a foraging & wild edible plants class here in San Francisco! Twelve of us students all gathered in the Presidio on a sunny winter afternoon where our teacher from ForageSF, a San Francisco Foraging Class group, led us through …
When a heavy breeze comes through our kitchen windows and ruffles our indoor garden, the room is always instantly filled with the earthy, spicy aroma of tomato. Yes, you read that right. I’ve successfully been growing hydroponic tomatoes indoors with lights, without a balcony or proper garden bed. It’s surprisingly easy with the right tools. …
Zesty umami sauces are my go-to lately. Maybe it’s because it’s winter here and these miso-based glazes and sauces are just so dang comforting. I recently made this Japanese miso salmon recipe for dinner and my wife Kara gobbled it so fast, I knew I had to share it with you. I enjoy exploring new …
Why buy red Thai curry paste when you can easily make it fresh at home with peppers from your backyard or farmer’s market? This past year I’ve found myself making more and more curries at home. My wife, Kara, loves coconut curry and I like dishes with a bit of a kick, so I find …
Ever since watching that Bob’s Burger episode years ago where Bob makes a Black Garlic Burger, I’ve been obsessed with this fermented garlic. It’s not always easy to find, but this week while shopping at our community market, low and behold, they had a big stack of black garlic in stock!!! I bought 1… and …
Hi! I’m Kara and I live in San Francisco with my husband, Robin and we’re proud urban homesteaders. We’ve always talked about how “one day” we’ll buy a house with some land so we can have space for a garden, chickens maybe even a donkey (scratch that – definitely a donkey. I’m obsessed). But we …
You’ve probably heard of Kombucha, a fermented tea that’s everywhere on shelves these days. At least here in California. But have you heard of Tepache? It’s a fermented drink made with pineapple. It’s fizzy, a little sweet, a little stanky and really good for gut health. It can also be made at home! I’ve been …
