    Easy Healthy Fresh Recipes from the West Coast

    Eating and drinking through the seasons. Recipes and musings inspired by West Coast Kitchen Garden fruits and vegetables, mushrooms foraged from nearby forests, seafood from our ocean and food from local farms. I make fast and easy recipes for busy lives while keeping the ingredients wholesome and fresh.

    Spring Has Sprung!

    I'm in the mood for lighter main dishes and fabulous, fresh spring foods like peas, asparagus, spinach, rhubarb, and soon, spot prawns. If you've got lots of fresh garden spinach, try making palak chicken. Just a few things popping up in your garden? Make a sweet garden salad with a few peas, radishes and blossoms and if you want to get out and explore, check out the list of foods you can find in the wild right now!
