It’s hard to believe Twice as Tasty is now 3 years old. Like a quickly growing child, it seems that just yesterday this blog was taking its first baby steps. But a scroll through the recipe index makes the 3-year growth spurt clear. Whether you’ve just found this blog or have been part of the core group of supporters, thank you for joining me on this adventure.

Year 3 Highlights

In the blog’s third year, I officially launched Twice as Tasty Live, expanding the ways you can bring me into your kitchen. House concerts and dinners let me prepare tasty spreads onsite for you and your guests. But my real passion continues to be teaching you and your friends how to make good food year-round. I’ve revamped the workshop portion of the blog so that it’s easier for you to find topics that interest you. I highlight several workshops that make the most of the growing season here. Regardless of the season, these have been some of the most popular Twice as Tasty workshops:

• Fraternal Twins: Making Lemon Cheese and Yogurt
• Grilled or Baked Sourdough Pizza
• Indian Spices: Marvelous Masalas
• Pick a Pickle: Easy Pickling Processes
• Riffs on Risotto: Risotto Basics and Variations

Best Year 3 Recipes

I do my best to make it easy for you to find recipes, topics, and techniques on Twice as Tasty, but the task becomes more challenging as the blog grows ever larger. A search in the recipe index by dish, ingredient, or technique should reveal a range of options. Here are some of my favorite additions from the past year:

• Berry Curd
• Fermented Tea Pickles
• Homemade Potato Gnocchi
• Italian Plum–Apple Chutney
• Mushroom-Stuffed Blini
• Quick-Pickled Watermelon Rind
• Raw-Fruit Shrub
• Sourdough Rye Bread
• Yogurt Whey Berry Muffins
• Reusable Produce and Gift Bags

As Twice as Tasty grows, so does the list of topics I cover online and off. On the blog, the list of recipes gets longer every month. TwiceasTasty.com has it all, from weekly posts, to info about the latest events, to inspiring photos. Or you can get just what you want through these sources:

• For news and monthly recipe collections: newsletters

Offline, the range of Twice as Tasty workshops continues to expand as readers like you want to learn more about eating well year-round. These are a few of the new workshops I’ve added in recent months:

• Beyond the Basics: Dressing up and Using Lemon Cheese
• Creative Cocktails: Syrups and Shrubs
• Fine Dining: Front Country
• Moving into Motz: Making Quick Fresh Mozzarella

Most Twice as Tasty workshops are hosted privately: You invite me into your kitchen to teach you and your friends. But this summer I’m working with several organizations to offer workshops to their members or the wider public. If you’re interested in joining one of these workshops, be sure to sign up for Twice as Tasty newsletters to be the first to hear when dates are set. If you’re interested in hosting your own Twice as Tasty Live event—workshop, dinner, or house concert—contact me soon; my summer schedule is filling up quickly.

Most importantly, keep reading, cooking, and sharing your love of good food. Thanks for a fabulous third year of Twice as Tasty!
