A first look at spring
We can’t wait for buds and green shoots, and chef menus that showcase brighter ingredients than what we braised through the winter. Spring is all about awakening the senses, but also awareness of local food access and security. In Care to Know this issue, we feature St. Joe’s Food Program as we get ready to Grow A Row.
Up ahead are spicy bitter greens and simple foods done well, kitchens that feel alive again, and a sweet, special buzz!

… Ingredient: Stinging Nettle
This special ingredient in our collection of bitter greens embodies seasonal awakening in our recipe theme. We admire it for its beauty, flavor and health benefits—deep green, mineral, restorative, respectively. We think stinging nettle is more than an ingredient; it’s spring.
… Recipe: Ode to Toast
We celebrate waking moments with layers of really good sourdough, farm-fresh butter, and seasonal ingredients—greens, radishes, eggs, goat cheese—but also items preserved from winter. This recipe is tested, produced and styled by edibleNEW Recipe Studio chefs, featuring local ingredients.
… Chef profile: Mondo! on the River
We explore the food energy and intention behind every dish with wine pairing that’s bright, layered and made for return visits to Mondo! in Appleton. This profile features a kitchen menu by Chef Colton Roberts that is tuned into the way this region eats with perspective and service insights from the team.
