Winter Daikon Kimchi

Over the years, I've become quite fond of the kimchi recipe I developed and always feel slightly saddened when I see my reserves get lower and lower. Kimchi easily takes the leaderboard amongst the several varieties of fermented vegetables I prepare each year.

The Best Birthday Cake

This past weekend family and friends from Maine and Connecticut came to celebrate back to back birthdays for Wilder and Camille. Since their birthdays are 1 day apart, the festivities tend to go on for a few days. With Camille turning 30 and Wilder turning 4, this was a special weekend for the family.

5 Ingredients You Should Be Adding to Your Bone ...

My first culinary school experience I can recall was cutting mirepoix for soups and stocks. Myself and a small group of students stood around the prep tables, nervously cutting carrots, celery, and onions while our chef instructor took notes on our knife skills.

The TLF Coffee Program

We love our coffee program here. In fact, we couldn't imagine starting off our day with anything other than a cup of coffee. A few months ago we decided to take a week off from coffee. Yerba mate, Camille's mom's famous Red Tea, and of course chaga made for perfect alternatives yet after 1 day we were back sipping on our butter brew. You can say we are addicted to the caffeine, but quite frankly, it is the morning ritual and damn good flavor that keeps us coming back for more of this sacred drink.

Turmeric & Coconut Goat Curry

My monthly pop-up series, which started in May of 2018, has been a great platform to highlight the many ingredients offered at the United Farmer’s Market in Belfast. One of those farms is Abraham’s Goat Farm & Creamery, which as the name suggests, offers goat meat and a variety of goat cheeses.

The Acorn Files ~ Tacos

This acorn recipe differs from most in that the acorns are processed using the hot leaching method. Although this technique requires a bit more energy, the end results are the ability to use the acorn as a nut, not a flour, which is a result of cold leaching.

How To Make A Vinegar Infusion

I'd rank apple cider vinegar as one of my top condiments and am sure to always have several gallons on hand to put to use throughout the year. From salad dressings to bone broths, acv brightens recipes and adds an acidic pop just where it's needed.

As a chef, one of my favorite ways to capture the essence of each season is through vinegar infusions. The acidic nature of the vinegar acts as a solvent, breaking down and absorbing minerals and the flavors of any ingredient it encounters.
