A Party in Your Pans
The green grass of summer has given way to another dry, smokey fire season. From California north and east to central Montana, fires have blanketed the landscape in thick smoke. Here in Missoula, it’s been pretty bad, but not too bad for some late summer garden parties and dinners outdoors. The sunsets have been stunning. We hope wherever you are, you are able to enjoy the treats of late summer, like sweet berries, summer squash, and fresh garden greens.

Welcome to the end of summer. It’s the time of year when school vacations come to an end and early mornings mean fast breakfasts and the packing of lunches. To assist you in making the transition, we’ve assembled a few back to school recipes this week. Of course we have food news stories as always. We round out this week’s post with a some book recommendations about food.

In this kitchen curatorial, we compile some seafood and freshwater fish recipes from around the world to help celebrate late summer. It’s nearly impossible to experience summer here in Montana without also experiencing the art of trout fishing, so we include a couple of interesting takes on cooking with trout. To round out the curatorial, we also wanted to showcase some recipes that will tempt any palette with oysters, clams and halibut.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks with several thousand miles and several western states traversed in the car. We spent a week at a great dude ranch in Colorado, spent a day in the ever-charming town of Taos, NM, and found some great places to eat great local food. Look for several posts on this in the coming days.
We missed Kitchen Curatorial last week. Here’s our round up of recipes and food news for the last two weeks.

Lots of us have gone back and forth being vegan… We love the food and the thought that goes into each meal when preparing vegan dishes. The beauty is in the colors of the fresh produce available in each season… so simple and sublime! This curatorial is all about celebrating vegan cuisine – and doing it in summer style…

It’s been a glorious weekend of scorching hot summer. Monday morning found us wilted and tired. The combination of heat and humidity is like being hit in the face with a warm brick wrapped in a wet towel. There is little a sensitive person can do but find a pleasant watering hole and wait for things to cool down.
With that in mind, today’s recipe selections are items we think go well with hot summer weather. Here are our four favorite recipes to help you cool down.

When I first set out to do this curatorial piece, I arbitrarily chose Monday as the day I would publish. Here I am only a couple weeks in and I am already off schedule. Such is life. It’s been a busy week with lots of projects getting done. I’ve not had much time for cooking or writing, but I did spend a couple of nice days camping along a river in Montana. I spent some time there thinking about the “glory” of camping food. S’mores, somehow managed to work themselves to the top my list of foods eaten while camping. We made s’mores on Friday night which somehow were tastier than any I remember eating.
