What to do with all those sugar snap peas?🫛
I could eat them all day by themselves but if your looking for an elevated dish to share try this👇🏼

A little char on the outside warms the middle but maintains a nice crunch. Remove from pan and toss in fish sauce (it’s just anchovies and water) or a good vegan alternative would be a rich seaweed dashi. Add some salt free chopped peanuts, mild chili oil crunches and fresh herbs like mint and cilantro 🌿

Enjoy 💋

The OG GARLIC CHIVE ROUND. Made using organic cashews, cultures and pink salt. Fermented and aged for the cheesy goodness! The end result a Creamy, savory round with a hint of garlic & chives. Great on a seasonal board or mixed into a dish. I love making Mac and cheese with this one! I’ve also used it for the creamy richness in enchiladas, lasagna, soups, stuffed dates. Grab a round and get creative this Saturday 12-2pm in the kitchen. We have 3 pick up days scheduled for December 👇🏼

THE California chili 🌶️
A chili with very little to no spice but fantastic flavor. Rich and acidic. Used in enchilada sauce, salsas and in this case a spice blend that pairs so well with creamy cashew cheese 🧀 adding this to Saturday’s cheese line up 11/22 from 12-2pm in the kitchen 🔥
