An important part of Mish+Mash's mission is to prepare locally grown foods as often as possible. The reasons for this are many, and if you want to know more about why, here's an article that sums it up nicely.
Let's be honest; there are several months in Colorado when we get to choose from mostly root vegetables, preserved or frozen foods, and dried legumes (not that we're complaining!). When spring arrives, we can rejoice! Locally grown rhubarb, asparagus, and strawberries begin to crop up at stores and just-opening farmers' markets, followed by the plethura of fresh crops that summer has to offer.
Check out this seasonal ingredient map (below) to guide you in finding what's fresh where you live, along with recipes to inspire you. Your taste buds and the planet will thank you!
