Merchandise to support the culinary industry, Recipes, Podcasts and more.

We’re back with our rundown of all the things keeping us going in these weird and challenging times!  Here’s what we’re tuning into for the week of April 20th. Have an idea that we should include in future post?  Please contact us.

Recipe

Colu Henry of the fantastic Back Pocket Pasta has no shortage of fantastic bean-based recipes, so if you finally got your shipment from Rancho Gordo or miraculously stashed some white beans before this all began, do not sleep on this Roasted Tomato and White Bean Stew recipe.

Podcast

Since we are all staying put for the foreseeable future, we’re enjoying traveling vicariously through Monocle 24: The Menu.  While the show usually explores a global food neighborhood in each episode, the current focus goes on local locations and the favorite recipes of chefs. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

Reading

For over a decade, Spoon and Tamago has been a favorite blog for all things Japan design and illustration related.  Their COVID content is no exception. We love this recent humorous guide to social distancing. Because we should all do our part:  Let’s stay one tuna apart. 

Spice Source

Cooking three meals everyday has us digging deep into the pantry and these spices from Burlap & Barrel are giving us life!  Burlap & Barrel works directly with small farms to source spices that have never been exported before.  Purchases help improve the livelihoods of their partner farmers. Currently going into everything: Cinnamon Tree Leaves + New Harvest Turmeric.  

Support

Merch4relief is an online collection of custom designed merchandise created by affected restaurant workers, with 100% of the profits going to the restaurants.  The designs are super great and we can all use a brand new pasta hoodie or Four Horsemen wine tote.
