A dear friend of mine, Charles, dubbed this mocktail “Sunset on the Porch” after I concocted it on a beautiful, Spring evening and served it to him to enjoy with conversation with good friends on the front porch around sunset in New England.
Unbeetable Ginger Cocktail
This gin or mezcal version of the Unbeetable Ginger Mocktail is just as wonderful, with a slightly different flavor profile depending on your spirit of choice.
Unbeetable Ginger Mocktail
Earthy and tangy mocktail with a hint of beet sweetness and bite of fresh ginger.
Beet Shrub
Bright pink drinking vinegar with the sweet, earthy flavor of beets and a hint of ginger. Makes beautiful cocktails and mocktails and is delicious just mixed with some plain seltzer.
Thai-Inspired Meatball Soup
Recipe slightly adapted from NYTimes Cooking for Thai-inspired chicken meatball soup. A fragrant, coconut broth with lime and fish sauce to nestle flavorful meatballs and spinach.
Ginger Turmeric Applesauce
It’s that time of year… We recently went apple picking at QuonQuont Farm. Then I picked up some fresh baby ginger and turmeric from the Hampshire College Farm. What better way to meld these beautiful flavors than to cook up a sauce for any occasion.
Dark Chocolate Ginger Tart with Cardamom Shortbread Crust and Creme Fraiche
Rich dark chocolate infused with fresh ginger. Buttery, crumbly shortbread with a hint of cardamom. Tangy creme fraiche infused with cardamom pods.
Curried Red Kidney Beans and Cauliflower with Spinach
This flavorful stew was a great way to finish off the cold and snowy day. Rich, warm, Indian flavors come together with lots of nutrient-packed veggies for a dish that’s both tasty and healthy.
Miso-Ginger Wild Rice with Carrots, Cabbage, Daikon and Turnip
This just gets better with time – it’s the kind of dish that soaks up dressings and ages with grace.
Tan-Tan Chicken and Snow Peas
Snow peas tossed in a peanut sauce that is just a little sweet, a little savory, and has a touch of heat.
