Meaty mushrooms, rich cauliflower and meaty potatoes combine into a vegetarian stew hearty enough that omnivores won’t miss the meat and light enough that you won’t feel weighed down. Anchovy filets, thyme and dry Vermouth add the complex layers of flavor making this deeply satisfying.
All the flavors
This fall salad celebrates the farmers market with candy-sweet, roasted Delicata squash, peppery arugula, meaty Shitake mushrooms, and toasted pepitas - hull-less pumpkin seeds - for a nutty crunch.

This is so difficult you may not even want to try.
These oh-so-simple-to-make tiny soup dumplings, closer in size to orzo than gnocchi, gain earthy flavor and just a bit of chew from the addition of earthy Crimini mushrooms. Use them to garnish asparagus soup or as a year-round side dish tossed with butter and fresh herbs from parsley to sage.
Every.Single.Day.

Meaty white fish delicately poached in a floral, fresh and pleasantly spicy green curry and coconut broth.

Leave my husband out of this.
How do you improve upon the classic New England pot roast? Enter the turnip - like a potato with more flavor. Slow cooked, the tender turnips give this dish a pleasant boost, while mushrooms and homemade stock give this inexpensive, tender cut of beef, rich, deep flavor.
Layer upon layer.
This bold, complex, hearty, vegan vegetable soup builds layer upon layer of flavor - earthy mushrooms, rich tomato paste, sweet paprika and salty, funky miso. You’ll never miss the meat!
The single man and his lonely dinner.
Rich, caramelized sirloin steak and earthy Portobello mushrooms are the perfect foil for crisp, sweet, spring asparagus. A rich yet light-tasting Béarnaise sauce flavored with tarragon would be perfect over any of these ingredients and is particularly magical over all three!
The pumpkin whisperer.
Silky Peanut pumpkin purée delivers a delicately textured soup made hearty with pork sausage, balanced with a garnish of lightly earthy Shitake mushrooms. Simmering the pumpkin seed mass in your stock builds layers of additional flavor and satisfyingly lets you use almost the entire Galeux d’Eysines squash but time can be saved by starting with already-made purée.
