Produce Porn in Charleston
.
I totally got overwhelmed and forgot to post photos from the dinner I did down in Charleston, SC about a month ago. To make it up to the universe, here’s some produce porn, because one of the highlights? Working with local farmers to cook their amazing vegetables.
.
Random produce.
.
Oyster mushrooms from the Trappist monks at Mepkin Abbey.
.
More Mepkin mushrooms.
.
Sweetbay Produce sent us some of their “extra” basil.
That is A LOT of basil.
.
Fresh eggs from a guy on down the road on James Island
who just happened to have some chickens.
.
I’ve never seen mega-lemongrass this massive. It’s from the folks at
Compost in My Shoe.
.
Nice kohlrabi, lady.
.
Fridge full o’basil.
.
This arugula from Sweetbay Produce was some of the most peppery,
intense arugula I’ve ever had in my life. He says he’s going to ship me a box of it soon.
Yes!
.
45 people in a round house about to have dinner.
.
Starting to plate cauliflower and waffles.
.
Getting ready.
.
Helen, who kicked butt. This whole dinner would have flopped if she
hadn’t been down in Charleston organizing it and then she spent all night
with me cooking. She’s truly a superhero.
