Garlicky Creamed Nettles and Cowboying Down
We can handle nettles by taking a page from Ivan Coyote and “cowboying down.”
Friends for Dinner: Chianti Spaghetti, Pomegranate Salad, Red-Wine Chocolate Cake
A three-course Hannibal-inspired meal. “When Love was shown me with such terrors fraught/ As may not carelessly be spoken of.”
Make Your Own Gender Reveal Cupcakes! (with a genderqueer baker)
Am I doing this right?
Verte Chaud (Hot Cocoa with Chartreuse)
It’s hot chocolate and Chartreuse. Yes, that green liqueur. Yes, in hot chocolate.
Lavender-Vanilla Ice Cream
C is teaching me how to make ice cream, so we came up with this recipe together…. I feel like there should be a Fried Green Tomatoes joke here because queer romance is clearly making messy foods together in the kitchen, right?
Candy-Cap Mushroom (yes) Cookies
C is from the California part of the PNW, and their hometown is famous for candy-cap mushrooms, which are dried edible mushrooms that smell and taste as sweet as candy. (Which I guess could be a hamfisted metaphor of sorts: people don’t think those mushrooms are real, and they don’t think we’re real, either.)
Rhubarb Cream Scones with Lemon and Ginger
These barely-sweet scones are light and fluffy with lots of tangy rhubarb.

Part of the issue with seasonal foods with a short availability is that recipe development can take a couple years if supplies are limited. This year, I got a 1/4 lb. bag of nettles at the Capitol Hill Farmers Market in late April and got to work on a couple dishes, including this nettle and mint tea, for those of you who enjoy a little punch to your herbal tea.
Black Sesame and Pear Muffins
Have I told you, dear readers, how much I love Lottie and Doof‘s “Black Sesame and Pear Cake”? When I could get Western pears, I loved making that cake in Japan, where black sesame is a common ice cream and wagashi flavor. I wanted to adapt the flavors of this cake into something smaller, less sweet, and more…
Buckwheat (Soba) Apple Muffins
Inspired by the fall flavors of Nagano, this muffin combines buckwheat (soba) flour (soba ko, そば粉) with juicy apples for a moist but not-too-sweet (and non-pumpkin-spice) fall breakfast.
