Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

July 27th  2022

SOLD OUT! Sorry

Even though these are sold out, this will give you a good idea of what is to come.

Something deep inside me lights up in the presence of fresh herbs. I am enraptured by them, as well as those who grow and use them. I hope I can inspire you to use more of them.

Fresh herbs have been a symbol of my own artistry and creative spirit since I started growing them in my garden in Eugene, Oregon, in my early 20’s. Not only are they a staple in my cooking, but they have sprung up in every aspect of my life ever since.

My Herbal Roots is the creative manifestation of everything herbal I have experienced along the way, and a projection of all to come. It’s a place for me to share my herbal passion indiscriminately, allowing me to document the herbal moments that light my path, providing a home to pause in celebration and appreciation.

I have been conscious of my own innate passionate streak from an early age. Like many others, I remember coloring outside the lines as a child. What set me apart was the self-confidence I had that couldn’t be swayed by anyone telling me it was wrong. My inner strength carried me forward from the get-go, fearlessly driving me to where and who I am today.

The Summer 2022 – The Fruit Series is a manifestation of my life in Missouri. I hope you enjoy.

It is important to notice and celebrate the good stuff - im lucky enough to be part of that today in Mission, Texas. ❤️ 

Celebrating to the love and soon to be marriage of @alanalvarez2 & @valeriageorginags 

2 people I get to spend a lot of time with in my work and life and feel blessed to know and learn from. 

Felicidades ❤️❤️❤️💃💃💃

Ps I had to throw away all my clothes recently (remember) so it feels good after stressing out about what to wear to feel like I still clean up nice. I am aware everyone else will be way more dressed up but these earrings will stand out. 😀

If you know me@you know I don’t often make other peoples recipes, mainly because I cannot follow instructions and do the same thing every time. Jeremy’s caraway Caesar is an exception - especially with such great chicories from Star Route here in Bolinas. 

I could eat this every single day. 

All@my@cookbooks had to get professionally cleaned ($$$$$$$) because of the fucking mold contamination. They are all in storage now since I’m still homeless like I don’t have my own house - so I bought his book again just so I didn’t  stray from the exact recipe

Like a teenager he is now tagged. Tomorrow I’ll let him out again and I’ll have peace of mind. My assumption is he stays close by. We shall see.

One of my favorite fall recipe’s  first published in @ediblemarinwc back in 2018 - when I was in my big Bolinas kitchen of dreams. 

The article Fall in Love with Apples Savory side was designed to remind people how versatile apples are, and how they can impart sweetness, balance and crunch. 

I am obsessed with apples savory side currently as well and have several new recipes in the works but this one - is worth making,  I’m going to make it for a special dinner I have upcoming. You should too. 

A little about the recipe and  Kohlrabi:
It is a member of the Brassica family, a low, stout cultivar of wild cabbage. Despite its lineage, however, its taste is more reminiscent of a sharp, radish-flavored apple. 

In this recipe the tartness of the apple and vegetal notes of the kohlrabi pair beautifully in this crunchy salad. Spiced hazelnuts, peppery arugula and celery make the salad hearty enough to be served deep into fall.

It’s a great Thanksgiving salad and if you havnt bothered with Kohlrabi you definitely need to.

This is the one many of you have been asking for. I’ve been making it here in Bolinas for my #BolinasCookingProject on repeat. 

The dressing is holy damn crap good. The combination of the golden raisins, white balsamic, lemon and miso is a discovery I can’t imagine living without. It’s crunchy and fresh and allows you to eat vats of cabbage.

Golden Raisin Honey Balsamic Butter Glazed Red Cabbage over Fresh Cannellini Beans Stewed with Celery in Milk.  To say this is one of the best ideas I’ve ever conjured is an understatement. 

@prism84 holy wow it was great. Haven’t even served with with the whole meal yet this was just my treat.

I’ve been asked a lot about anise hyssop and herb that grows like wildfire almost anywhere in summertime. I find it to be one of the most versatile of summer offerings. I use it in salads and desserts and even as bath fun, which my sweet boy Inca (RIP❤️) demonstrates in one of my archive posts explaining the beautiful details on this minty, anisey, perfumy plant.

It’s the time of the year to dry marigolds and other flowers (dahlias) so you can make powders to color things in fall.

It’s that time of year again to start thinking about apples and first on my mind is always my whiskey caramel upside down cake with sage and a special black truffle rye whiskey….

Nissa’s Chinese Chicken Salad
Savoy and red cabbage, baby bok choy, red kale, shredded carrots, red peppers, Japanese cucumbers, scallions, mint, cilantro sesame seeds- grilled five spice Chinese mustard ginger marinated chicken and my hot mustard honey almond sesame brittle with a basic Chinese chicken dressing with fresh orange. 

For an appetizer I served nectarine wedges with olive oil, lime juice, and a special salt made with peanuts, green Birds Eye chilis, and cinnamon basil. 

I made a lovely bergamot rose ice tea and sun steeped it with fresh strawberries and cinnamon basil for two days.

Are you, like me,  always thinking about how to incorporate more @pointreyescheese #OriginalBlue in your eating repertoire? 

Behold my new herbal magic. 

An unapologetically decadent and stunning steak salt for real steak lovers who know the salt is everything. The luxurious creamy tang of Pt. Reyes Blue (yes it’s actually in the salt!) comingles with Gospel Flats Farm vibrant red beets for one of my most earthy alchemies! 

it’s a little sweet, and super vegetal, loaded with local, foraged, and  what we Bolinas folks call over-the-hill provisions

This aroma, to me, is reminiscent of cheese and earth after rain- VERY PLESANTLY SO. 

It has an obscene amount of beet flecks, that melt on anything hot. 

Pretty tones of wild fennel get captured while brighter herbs keep this from getting too earth dirty. Its sharp, salty, tangy flavor cuts through the rich fat and heavy umami of beef, while the bold, creamy cheese balances flavor, zigzagging through herbaceous, milky pasture vibes while never insulting the steak flavor. 

Potent herbs—hummingbird sage, savory, rosemary, and nepitella—meld with the peppery bite of wild arugula and the floral earthiness of huacatay flowers, keeping it and your steak interesting. 

This is the only steak salt you need, but like my personal being demonstrates, there are no rules to it use. I’m digging it on little gem wedge salads with more blue cheese and particularly on salty splashy cold summer cucumbers.

Today’s favorite 🌸🍅🍑

Summer Flowers & Herbs
Peachy Tomato Salt

A lush summer nectar of ripe peach and heirloom tomato, captured in a flaky salt, layered with an abundance of fresh local Bolinas  herbs and summer flowers. Bright citrus, wild fennel, and delicate peppery spice weave through the sweetness, with subtle savory depth underneath. Floral, juicy, aromatic, and vibrant — a little wild, a little extravagant, and completely summer. Luscious.
