Dungeness fresh crab season is closed for 2022. Imitation crab is a great substitute, called surimi, it is made from mild pollock fish, some King Crab meat and crab juice for flavor, and tapioca starch for firmness. This is a special treat luncheon recipe, mild to spicy, as you prefer. Serve with cold dark Steam Beer or lemonade.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
