Our cookbook will be formatted to follow the seasons and the food filled gatherings that happen throughout. Do you have a favorite recipe you always make for trap day? Have you been perfecting your rhubarb recipes? We’re looking for recipes of all kinds and the stories they might bring with them. Not much of a baker but good with a paint brush?
