Your (delicious sounding) escarole suggestion reminded me of a question that has been on my mind for a while. Utica greens. My family is originally from Syracuse where you can get excellent Utica greens everywhere. I live in Virginia where nobody has ever heard of them. I've tried to make them using recipes I've found online a couple of times, but they've been underwhelming. Do you have a good recipe or any suggestions I could try? Thanks!

Erin, this is a great challenge and so up my alley. I am going to do some research and see if Ii can develop one. All of my favorite things in one place. Stay tuned!

Colu, wonderful video. Thank you for taking my question. The combination of lifestyle and food recommendations are excellent. I will simply eat the dishes I make and my family will eat other dishes. I understand.

Thank you, Christopher, for submitting! I'm sorry I was not more help. But recommend the book Salt: A World History for an interesting read. Be well!

Yesterday, we prepared the recipe that you recommended; roasted tomatoes and white bean stew. It was a hit. It looked and tasted wonderful. We will make this again. Thank you for the recommendation.

I hope it’s not too much, but I thought of another question. I took your advice and ordered from Rancho Gordo. The Royal Coronas are amazing but I don’t know what to do with the Christmas limas. I’m definitely in an “I judged a bean by its color” situation. What’s the best way to use them? I see white bean recipes everywhere but nothing about these stripey purple beauties. Thanks!

Hi Erin! I love the Christmas Limas too - they are gorgeous! I would recommend a chili with those guys. If you eat meat, I think beef would work well. If not, those guys are heft enough to stand on their own!

Thank you! That’s what I’ll do!
