11 May, 2021: When we launched Meal Boxes back in June, it was a way for us to re-open after the height of the pandemic. Now it's turned into a whole business, nestled inside of Clover. And we're getting busier and busier, with hundreds of you trying out the boxes each week. It's been truly amazing. And it is all… Read More
8 May, 2021: Lucia here. My favorite restaurant in NYC is called Teranga. When I went in May 2019 I couldn't stop talking about it, to everyone. There was this black-eyed-pea salad I dreamed about for days. And an incredible stew I later learned was Poulet Yassa, a classic Senegalese stew made with tons of caramelized onions. On every table: 3 of the best hot sauces I'd… Read More
3 May, 2021: We got the above email from Helen (a customer) a few weeks ago and thought, yeah, let's make this happen! At breakfast, we're pairing corn mayo with a 6.5-minute egg, Grafton 1-year cheddar, pickle coins, and lots of Nashville hot sauce and tucking everything into a warm pita. At lunch, our PEI potatoes are cut, fried, and topped with Nashville hot… Read More
1 May, 2021: The next 200 people to order a meal box for Thursday will be getting a really special gift: ramps. How can I describe the taste of a ramp? A chef I know says: scallion meets barely-roasted garlic clove. My friend, who has a ramp tattoo on her wrist, says: sharp, green, and creamy. I say it's like a super-concentrated leek, with a saucy story it wants… Read More
29 April, 2021: Lucia, here with a Mother's Day gift guide. I've surveyed my mom friends and gathered up a bunch of the Clover team's favorite local shops, experiences, and treats. First off, we only have 150 Mother's Day Meal Boxes still available for delivery and pickup on the Friday and Saturday before Mother's Day. Chris dreamed up a breakfast in bed, a springtime lunch,… Read More
22 April, 2021: Mother's Day is May 9! Our newest meal box creates not only one meal, but an entire day of relaxation, starting with breakfast in bed, pausing for a springy lunch, and ending with an extra fancy (but not fussy) Italian dinner. For dessert, local rhubarb appears for the first time, in the form of a rhubarb crisp… Read More
13 April, 2021: Our Easter box helped us run through the supply of Winter Moon Roots carrots. Luckily Brookford Farm in New Hampshire has a crop of beautiful organic roots, so we were able to bring back the Carrot Sandwich, the only Clover sandwich to have a love letter written to it (by an avowed carnivore no less!). Paul dreamed… Read More
7 April, 2021: We sent out a few Maple Boxes late in March with double the correct amount of dry pancake mix. This was a bummer because 1.) our Maple Box was hugely popular and 2.) when made right our pancakes are delicious! If you were one of the folks who got the incorrect mix and made pancakes before we… Read More
3 April, 2021: Try a meal box next week Despite what the display at your local grocery store tells you, the first sign of spring in New England isn’t asparagus or strawberries. It’s parsnips. But not just any parsnip. These are Spring Dug. On the outside they're gnarly looking, with a sprout of green at the top. On the inside, they're sweeter than… Read More
1 April, 2021: Hot cross buns are yeasted, raisin buns historically eaten on Good Friday, so they have a special place in our Easter Box (btw if you haven't ordered yet, you have about 7 more hours!). As our Meal Box program has grown, Chris has found some creative ways to keep up with the demand. This week our dough… Read More
