A Goat Rodeo grilled cheese sandwich on a plate.

Great ingredients make great food. It follows, of course, that we started off this grilled cheese with fantastic bread from Mediterra Bakehouse. In search of cheese, we chose Goat Rodeo, a local farm and cheesemonger working with a herd of 100 Alpine and Nubian goats. We chose Wild Rosemary, a mixed-milk cheese whose exterior is finished with rosemary and extra-virgin olive oil. Just a quick toast-up under the broiler and a slather of artichoke pesto and we bit into a little bit of heaven.

Crab Pasta with Lemon‑Dill White Wine Sauce

April 23, 2023

A plate of Crab Pasta with Lemon and Dill for TABLE recipe.

It’s the local ingredients that make this Crab Pasta with Lemon and Dill White Wine Sauce special. A handful of fresh spinach from Tiny Seed Farm melds with green onion, dill, farm butter, and cream from Brunton Dairy at Sewickley Confectionery… and, of course, fresh crab from Strip District institution, Wholey’s. A splash of white wine from Gibsonia’s Narcisi Winery completes the sauce. This crab pasta is a winner!

Why Do Crab and Pasta Go Together?

Seafood might not be your first thought to pair with pasta. But Italy, where pasta originates from, has an incredibly rich seafood culinary culture. Particularly in the southern provinces, fresh-caught fish is a frequent delicacy. If you prepare it right, crab and pasta together can be delicious and refreshing. Tip: Though most pasta is great with cheese, combining seafood and cheese is an unspoken no-no. The flavors don’t combine well, and butter is better for creating creaminess in seafood pasta dishes.

Strawberry Salad and Rhubarb Balsamic Vinaigrette, yum! No one really wants to hear this … but swimsuit season is coming. Perhaps it’s time get lean by leaning seriously into salad? This gem was made with white and red strawberries from lettuces from one of our favorite farmers, The vinaigrette is made with a local farm we loves’s Strawberry Rhubarb Jam. Look for farms near you for the freshest possible ingredients.

When is Rhubarb Season?

Rhubarb season is from April to June, so before summer really gets into gear, you can get your rhubarb fix for all your salads needs. Look for firm, crisp stalks of it at your local farmer’s market, and avoid the ones that look limp or floppy. You can also homemake rhubarb jam for this strawberry rhubarb salad if you so choose, using a mixture of sugar, water, and rhubarb for the freshest possible outcome.

Spring Lamb Chops

A plate of spring lamb chops with smoky roasted radishes.

Spring Lamb Chops with Mint Chimichurri, Potato Leek Purée & Smoky Roasted Radishes is a mouthful to say and to enjoy. We recommend taking a visit to your local butcher to look for farm-raised lamb chops that keep their juiciness throughout cooking. Then, take a trip to your farmer’s market to shop fresh potatoes and leeks, and radishes, as well as other herbs and produce. From there, the rest is simple!

Why Does Chimichurri Go So Well with Meat Like Lamb?

You may be wondering why you always see the green sauce of chimichurri dripping along various meats. The fresh herbs like parsley and oregano help brighten the dish of your choice. Plus, the acidity from the vinegar cuts through any fattiness so your bite is equally tangy and juicy. Because chimichurri is a refreshing topping, it perfectly pairs with the smoky char of grilled meats, milding out the smokiness. Hence why it works so well with our Spring Lamb Chops.
