ORDER YOUR PROVISIONS BOX — DELIVERY April 10th & 11th

ABOUT THIS BOX

Our upcoming Narrative Provisions box is inspired by Alice Waters’ wonderful book The Art of Simple Food. With the ingredients we are blessed with from our local farmers as well as delicious treats from some the Bay area’s favorite women in food: jeweled candied citrus peel from June Taylor, delectable Mt. Tam cheese from Peggy Smith (who worked at Chez Panisse for 17 years before starting Tomales Bay and later Cowgirl Creamery!), and satisfying crackers from Carol LeValley’s Rustic Bakery. This homage to Alice’s inspiring opus is a welcome reminder that we really need to do very little to create a delicious meal. Simple is the best way to let these beautiful ingredients shine.
