You can still visit us at our other locations, and remember our food trailer will be available for events in the neighborhood. We’d love to continue serving you, so stay connected for updates on where you can find us next!

One of many kitchen hacks I wish I knew sooner.
BASIL 🌿 All parts of the basil plant are edible, including the FLOWERS, leaves and stems. Once the basil flowers, the taste typically becomes more bitter. The flowers have a stronger flavor.

What to do with Basil Flowers?

🌿 Sprinkle on salads
Sprinkle whole buds or individual flowers on salads, pasta, cheese, fruit, meat, or vegetables. They can also be used in salad dressings, fruit salsas, ice cream sauces, or as a garnish
🌿 OIL or VINEGAR
Wash and air dry the flowers, then immerse them in mild vinegar or olive oil. Let the flowers steep in the vinegar for a week, and in the oil for one month. Strain out the solids and store the vinegar or oil in a cool, dark place.
🌿 PESTO
You can use a mortar and pestle to make basil flower pesto. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze it for up to six months

One of many kitchen hacks I wish I knew sooner.
If you ever over-salt food, a potato can help absorb excess salt and liquid. This method works best in soups and stews, but you can also use it for gravy or curries.
Peel a potato, preferably a starchy potato like a russet. Add the potato to the pot and cook until it’s tender, which can take 15–20 minutes or longer for larger potatoes.Remove the potato from the pot and taste the food. If it’s still too salty, you can add water or broth to dilute it.
