Edible Maine

Spotted at the Spring Issue Launch Party.

Molässa stopped by the party at Brickyard Hollow with a bottle in hand and plenty to celebrate.

Maine makers showing up for Maine food. Exactly how we like it.

A quick trip to the studio this morning to talk about our new Spring issue of edible MAINE.

Huge thanks to the team at WGME for the warm welcome and for shining a light on Maine’s food community. I had the chance to share a few stories from the issue alongside our Art Director, Lauren Lear, and talk about the people, farms, fisheries, and restaurants that are helping Maine lead the way right now.

The new issue is officially out in the world and hitting our distribution spots across the state this week. If you spot one, grab a copy and settle in.

Eat. Drink. Read. Think.

A banger way to start the day. 🍳🔥

These Saucy Eggs are a staple at the café at in Turner — a skillet of sweet Italian sausage, marinara, runny eggs, feta, and microgreens made with ingredients grown and produced right on the farm.

Can’t make it to the café? The new Spring Issue of edible MAINE (hitting the streets next week) has the recipe so you can make this cozy, sauce-soaked breakfast at home.

Brunch plans = handled.

Recipe development as field research.

Inspired by a small plate at The Mountain Room at Sunday River: toast, Maine honey, blue cheese, smoky blueberry drizzle, chives. Sweet. Salty. Smoke. Funky.

Still dialing it in. Stay tuned.

Spring will be here at the end of next month, and we need your help.

Which cover should lead the season?

A: Scallop crudo — bright, briny, Maine on a plate
B: Wild strawberry shrub cocktail — tart, sparkling, and just a little wild
C: Mango panna cotta — silky, sun-kissed, and ready for longer days

Each one tells a different story about what spring tastes like.

Eat. Drink. Read. Think.

We love Maine.
The farmers, the fishermen, the bakers, the hands that make dinner worth sitting down for.
Today feels like a good day to say so.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
