Happy National Apple Day! 🍎

We’re excited to share more new photos! You’ve shown our miso caramel sauce so much love, so we wanted to share a few of our favorite ways to use it.

It all started with a craving for caramel apples, but there are so many ways to enjoy it: drizzled over ice cream, stirred into your morning espresso, or swirled into cookie dough. And, of course, paired with a crisp, juicy apple. 🍏

What have you been pairing yours with? We’d love to hear what you’re making! ✨

Ever heard of cordyceps? Maybe you’ve seen their fictionalized relatives in The Last of Us 👀🍄

Last year, we turned these bright-orange mushrooms into miso; and what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a little spooky umami?

On their own, cordyceps taste nutty and a little sweet. Fermented with black beans, they develop a pineapple-y, hoppy flavor that’s all treat, no trick.

Our misos are THE trick to pulling off the easiest and most delicious pasta sauce in seconds ! ⁣
⁣
Here’s a recipe below, but if you are short on time you can always cook your noodles, and drain the pot leaving a little bit of pasta water so that you can mix your miso of choice in the pot creating an instant sauce !!⁣
⁣
⁣
𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗵𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶⁣
⁣
Ingredients⁣
⁣
Serves 2⁣
⁣
* 8 oz spaghetti⁣ or your choice of ⁣
* 3 tbsp cold unsalted butter, divided (1 tbsp + 2 tbsp)⁣
* ½ cup thinly sliced leek⁣
* ½ cup vegetable stock⁣
* 2 tbsp Shared Cultures Black Garlic ⁣
* ½ cup white w**e (such as Sauvignon Blanc)⁣
* ⅓ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese⁣
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste⁣
* Thinly sliced chives, for garnish⁣
⁣
Method⁣
⁣
1. Cook the pasta⁣
⁣
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until just under al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water, then drain.⁣
⁣
2. Sauté the leeks⁣
⁣
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the sliced leeks and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant and slightly softened.⁣
⁣
3. Build the sauce⁣
⁣
Add the white w**e to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer until slightly reduced. Stir in the Black Garlic Miso and vegetable stock, mixing until fully combined. Simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly.⁣
⁣
4. Toss the pasta⁣
⁣
Turn off the heat. Add the drained spaghetti, reserved pasta water, and remaining 2 tbsp of cold butter. Toss until the butter melts and the sauce becomes glossy and evenly coats the noodles. Season with salt and pepper to taste.⁣
⁣
5. Serve⁣
⁣
Divide the spaghetti between two plates. Finish with grated Parmesan and sliced chives. Serve hot and enjoy!

It’s National Salmon Day!🎣

What better excuse to share another new recipe photo and cook some salmon for dinner. This miso ginger salmon is the perfect weeknight dinner. It broils to caramelized perfection and pairs beautifully with rice and seasonal veggies. Recipe below!

Ingredients
* 3–4 salmon filets (1–1¼ lbs total)
* 3 tbsp Shared Cultures Shiitake Katsuobushi Miso
* 1 tbsp maple syrup
* 2 tsp Lentil Quinoa Shoyu or soy sauce 
* 2 cloves garlic, grated
* ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
* 1 tbsp orange juice
* 1 tsp orange zest
*
Method
1. Preheat broiler and line a baking sheet.
2. Pat salmon dry and place filets skin-side down on the baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, orange juice, and zest until smooth.
4. Spread the miso mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon filets.
5. Broil for 7 minutes, or until the tops are caramelized and the salmon is cooked through (opaque and flakes easily).
6. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite sautéed or roasted vegetables.

There were honestly too many favorites, but we are sharing a few here. Thank you NorCal Elopement Photographer for spending the day with us and capturing these sweet memories and moments. ❤️⁣
⁣
It’s hard to believe that Eleana has known Courtney from Photoflood since middle school, and it was so precious to be able to spend the day together. ⁣
⁣
It felt even more special to be surrounded by so much love and intentionality—from Kevin’s grandpa’s kimono, which was saved and handed down for this moment, to Eleana’s jewelry, passed down through generations, to the handmade bouquet that Eleana created with Jess Nguyen | Floral Designer & Sculptor ⁣
⁣
So grateful to our community for supporting this small business for over 7 years now - we would not have been able to build this life together and get to this big milestone without all of you .

The last few months have been so busy, but we promise we’ve been working on so many exciting things—especially with the holidays ahead!⁣
⁣
This winter, we’ll be releasing a very special tinned fish collaboration with our friend Gil from Gilded Fish. ⁣
⁣
Gilded Fish is built on a handful of direct relationships, in Bristol Bay and beyond. Premium ingredients, a short supply chain, and genuine love of food—that’s the whole company! ⁣
⁣
Hopefully you are just as excited about this as we are !! For now, can you guess what kind of tinned fish we’ll be releasing?!
