Mushrooms
Grilled mushrooms are a great way to move what's normally a cold weather ingredient outdoors. This recipe works with any meaty mushroom.

Deviled eggs are one of those foods I have a hard time controlling myself with. These deviled eggs, made with smoked salmon, are especially good.

Chinese style scallion pancakes -- really flatbreads -- are super easy to make and are a dangerously addicting snack.
British
A recipe for British potted shrimp, made with tiny pink cocktail shrimp, which are one of the most sustainable shrimp you can buy. Easy and tasty!
Recipe
A fresh and bright wild rice salad recipe that mimics Crisp and Green's "wild child" salad. I use grouse, wild rice and dried wild berries.
Venison
Venison liver and onions is a bedrock deer liver recipe you will want to learn. I normally don't like liver, so this recipe is for skeptics like me. I genuinely loved this dish.

Panzanella di mare is an Italian bread salad with tinned fish. This is a winter panzanella with black kale, squash and sage. It's versatile, too.
