Fresh tomatoes, baked tomatoes, tomato jam, tomato butter, tomato soup. What is your favorite way to eat tomatoes? We’ve been doing these produce boxes, focusing on a single fruit or veg, but with tons of different recipes you can make at home. First up was the Blueberry Box. Now that tomatoes are coming in from Kitchen Garden Farm, we’re bringing back a meal box dedicated to local summer tomatoes.
August 15th is Julia Child’s Birthday, and the Clover kitchen crew decided there was no more fitting way to honor our former neighbor than with a French-inflected meal box packed with Julia-inspired fare.. Our neighbor? Yes! Julia lived in Cambridge about one mile down the road from CloverHUB and shot her famous TV shows right from the kitchen of her house—but don’t try to pop in now: her kitchen was disassembled piece by piece and shipped off to the Smithsonian. Inside the Julia Child’s Birthday Box you’ll get…
Did you know blueberries originated in this region of the world? They’re in season right now, which means it’s time for blueberry lemonade at the restaurants, and the Blueberry Meal Box delivered to your kitchen! A meal box for 4, with sweet and savory dishes. Last year, it was one of our most popular meal boxes, and this year we made a few changes to make it even more filling…
Ever wanted to make your own ramen, but were short on time? Our Late Spring Box is back and it features a ramen-esque kit that comes with slow-cooked ramen broth, hand-pulled buckwheat noodles from Kim’C Market, jammy eggs and lots of toppings.
May the 4th is Star Wars Day. Whatever your Star Wars is—new episodes of “Andor,” hate-watching Jar Jar in the prequels, or reveling in the Luke-Leia-Han classics—you’re going to need a full day of intergalactic treats fit for bingeing. Enter, our May the Fourth Box. Every year we tweak this box a bit. This year features the return of a much-loved classic: our Bantha Meat Gyros! (For the Bantha unacquainted, click here.) Also in this year’s box:
Despite not really celebrating either holiday in a huge way (although I did have a lot of very cute Easter baskets growing up, thanks, mom and aunt!) the Easter and Passover Boxes might be my personal favorite meal boxes we make all year.
The Dutch Baby with Pecorino Cream Sauce in our Easter Box is probably the most fun thing you’ll ever pull out of your oven. If a crepe and a hot air balloon had a child, this would be it. And the veggie chopped liver in the Passover Box – inspired by a survey about your Passover food memories – is deep, unctuous, and goes toe-to-toe with any meat version. Then there’s an absolute rainbow of soups, casseroles, and even a Seder Plate.
Carrot lox with chewy bagels and cream cheese, hearty vegetable stew, grilled cheese, Shepherd’s pie topped with mashed potatoes, winter salads…
Inspired by a former employee who was heading out on a ski weekend and wanted easy, hearty meals, the Snowed in Box is a winter tradition around here. If you’ve never tried a Clover Meal Box, this might be a good one to start with! We’re delivering Thursday Feb 13, 20, and 27th. And with the snowy winter we’ve been having, the name really fits…
Right when I finished the final bite of my Apple Box last year, I started to think about when I could order it again. I love apples in the fall, but when I’m meal-planning, I usually opt to just pack the apples as they are—crisp, round, and raw. The Apple Box opened my eyes to using Apples as an ingredient.
Fruity, juicy, spicy, sweet. Heirloom tomatoes are here, and we’re celebrating tomato season in a big way this year. 1 – Heirloom tomatoes all over the menu, especially in a new Summer Celebration Bowl that Sara dreamed up. 2 – A big Tomato Tasting event w/Verrill Farm this Thursday afternoon at Newtonville (click here to RSVP). 3 – Our Tomato Meal Box with recipes like tomato gratin, chilled roasted tomato soup, and a perfect tomato salad. The last chance to grab it this year is Wednesday at 5pm.
I recently took a Soup Box on a family vacation and we were all blown away by the clean, clear flavors and the freshness of the produce. (It was a potato leek soup with arugula salad and cider chive vinaigrette, French bread, local cucumbers, local radishes, and 2 different types of compound butters.) If you haven’t had a meal box in a while, this time of year might be the perfect time to try one…
