Gifts from the kitchen

These three edible gifts are my favorite treats to make. They are yummy, fun to package, and a delight to give away.

EATING IN SEASON: Tomato heaven

I find it hard to eat all the tomatoes that my plants produce. And guilt settles in. I can’t let them go to waste.

EATING IN SEASON: Blueberry bonanza

I recently found the recipe for blueberry muffins scribbled – ingredients only – no instructions. Why would I need the instructions? I knew exactly how to make them! I decided to make them. Guess what? I still know how to make them.

EATING IN SEASON: Garlic Scapes

I find garlic scapes simply perfect. Their curly, sculptural shape intrigues me. They double as both a food and a flower arrangement. I usually harvest them and place them in a mason jar filled with water.

EATING IN SEASON: Fresh strawberries

Those delicate heart-shaped berries inspire me to cook up a storm. Is there nothing better than a strawberry rhubarb pie, or how about some strawberry ice cream and better yet, preserving the bounty and canning some strawberry jam?

TRANSFORMATIONS: The kitchen as sacred space, an island in time

No matter what, the kitchen will be the beacon for you, your family, and your friends. If it reflects your style and your soul, it will be of most beautiful and perfect kitchen in the world.
