As I mentioned in another thread on this forum, I’ll be spending the weekend with my better half along the Northern California coast in a little 50s cottage situated on an organic farm right beside the Pacific Ocean, with a large well stocked kitchen and a large charcoal BBQ pit out back.
We’ll be cooking some light lunches and dinner and I’m looking for some recipes hopefully inspired by the contents of this thread… see below!
-
My wife does NOT eat any red meat (incl. pork) - not strict w/ sauces, stocks, etc. Just won’t eat a piece of meat.
-
Due to recent acid reflux diagnosis, she’s off tomatoes and red sauce as well, which is pretty limiting.
-
She doesn’t like eggplant. (philistine!)

I just received an email from the lovely owners with an absolutely incredible list of seasonal produce available to pick fresh (basket and shears provided!) from their organic garden. I am more than impressed!
In addition to all of the following, daily delivery of still warm eggs from the hen house comes to the door each morning too.
We are doing a big seafood cookout on the BBQ one night and I was originally planning to do a simple fettucine with shitake and brussels sprouts (Chris Fischer recipe) the next, but I’d really like to take greater advantage of the farm fresh bounty we have access to…
I’m copying + pasting the list I received this morning and would greatly welcome some veg-friendly recipe ideas that I could whip up for our 2nd dinner from the garden:
