@jakedecker @msager Can't say I've had the pleasure on the cod livers before. For the herring, I'd suggest sour cream, dill, and pickled onions (can just be a vinegar soak).

[Ben2Table @Ben2Table]

So that brings us 5 different items that can each transform something with less effort or prep than you might otherwise need. Pretty great, right? Plus some chocolate.⁠

Time for our final new boxes of 2020! I've picked out a few of the items from previous Taste the World boxes that are a) most beloved, and b) most easily make a meal or dish shine on their own.

Check out this blog post for a deep dive into the ingredients in this month's Taste of Sichuan box, just released today! https://t.co/mZBQj0k1nS

That tingling sensation is nothing to be concerned about – it’s just your taste buds getting ready for some Sichuan pepper :)

Sichuan, a landlocked province in SW China, has some of the most interesting, and distinctive, cuisine in the entire country.

@DCBadger @msager @bradbaumn More a technique, rather than a recipe with precise measurements, but here's how I did an eggplant & tofu curry with those ingredients: https://t.co/AgJ3GDxMgP

To look forward to in this month's Essentials Box: More heirloom, small-producer, and completely delicious pantry staples, plus some Haitian chocolate!⁠
⁠
I'm probably most excited about the popcorn, tbh.

More #quarantinebaking at Ben to Table HQ — with somewhat varying results! The Poilâne sourdoughs have only gotten better as my starter matures (right column). Upper left is a Poilâne sourdough rye. Bottom left? Well, that frisbee was my first attempt at a Tartine country bread.

[Ben2Table @Ben2Table]

Am I a #quarantinebaking cliche? Yes. ⁠
⁠
Am I nevertheless extremely proud of this first sourdough? You bet your ass. ⁠
⁠
From the Poilâne cookbook, I made this #bread using Maine Grains and King Arthur Flour (the ⁠Maine Grains Red Fife is from the April Essentials Box).

[Ben2Table @Ben2Table]

One beautiful thing about the ingredients in April's Delicacies Box? Simplicity.

I took some greens, sliced some radishes, & opened a can of smoked salmon. Tossed with a dressing of the banyuls mustard, thyme, piment d'ville & fleur de sel (plus lemon juice & evoo), & voila!

[Ben2Table @Ben2Table]

For the April Essentials Box, we've got this lineup of beautiful staples. Since flour has been in short supply, I've brought Maine Grains in as a ringer. Here are some ideas to get you started cooking with these delicious staples: https://t.co/qx1mx5KNDY
