Winter’s Best Recipes

This week’s delivery celebrates the season’s freshest offerings, from a comforting risotto crafted with locally-foraged Hedgehog mushrooms, duxelles and our signature chicken stock to beautiful spinach greens to top with crumbled blue cheese and orchard apples. Complemented by produce both savory—Delicata squash, Swiss chard and Brussels sprouts—and sweet (like citrusy lemons and ripe red pears), plus pumpernickel bread, farm-fresh eggs and our homemade galette dough, this menu is bursting with hearty flavor.

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
