The Japanese Sweet Potato sandwich is coming back onto the menu. Enzo created this super-addictive sandwich after Farmer Ray had an extra good "bumper crop" of sweet potatoes and no outlet for them. Several years ago, I went with a group of staff members to watch Next Barn Over crew harvest our sweet potatoes, and I can still hear the sounds. Roots ripping, farmers laughing, boots squishing mud, iPhone cameras snapping. Quiet fields with the occasional pickup truck driving past. Some of the ...| Clover
Ever since joining Clover, I think a lot about chickpeas. A. LOT. I think about the nutty-buttery flavor they have raw, the deep savory edge they get when cooked, their creamy richness when blended up in our housemade hummus. I think about their protein punch (one cup = 14.5 grams of the good stuff, 20% of your recommended daily amount), their high fiber, iron, and Vitamin B count. I think about how pretty they are, with that distinctive curved ridge and little pointed peak that tells you th...| Clover
If you've been by the restaurants lately you may have noticed these big flats of heirloom tomatoes on the counter. We decided to bring back an old favorite: the Heirloom Tomato! It's super simple, designed to celebrate Kitchen Garden heirloom tomatoes in all their glory. This time we added Pesto to the mix: mayo, pesto, sharp cheddar, a thick slice of heirloom dusted with salt and pepper, all folded into our house-made pita. The Heirloom is going away tomorrow (Weds 9.3) to make way for a bra...| Clover
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.| Clover
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...| Clover
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...| Clover
We've been fielding so many sweet emails and DMs asking if the Zucchini is back. And finally we can say it is! This sandwich is one of my favorites we do all year. There's a thick slice of glazed tofu from Heiwa in Maine. Basil mayo. Fresh raw zucchini (from Kitchen Garden Farm and Red Fire Farm) that we cut into half-moons. Snappingly fresh corn. And shiso, which is a Japanese herb that tastes like a cross between mint and basil with slight licorice-y notes. It's sweet/salty/fresh and (I thi...| Clover
I'm particularly affected by the heat - ask anyone who knows me. As a Texan, I do not understand when people "don't use their AC." So I tend to cook less during the summer, which is sad, because I love summer produce. So a few months ago, I started asking the kitchen team if we could invent a No Cook Meal Box. Chris worked his magic and...| Clover
It's finally back! The Nashville Hot Mushroom comes around once a year. It's our homage to the hot chicken at Prince's in Nashville. Our version gives you a little relief from the spice with a cooling corn mayo made from freeze-dried corn (customers have requested to buy vats of this stuff), fresh lettuce, and dill pickle coins. Then come the mushrooms. We get Blue Oysters from Rhode Island. We batter and fry them in Plimoth cornmeal...| Clover

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...| Clover
Emily just sent me a picture of this giant lettuce we just got from Verrill Farm. We're going to be putting it in Monday's Salad Meal Box along with eggplant, carrot-feta spread, Lebanese white bean salad, and a bunch of other yummy things. If you're subscribed, you're probably already in for this delivery; if you'd like to try it a-la-carte click here. Because these greens are grown in real soil, you'll need to give them a good rinse using a...| Clover
Yellow and green summer squash. Basil. Beets. Scapes and scallions and spinach. Summer produce is starting to appear in our kitchen in abundance! Which means our Weekly Meal Boxes are getting even more vibrant and exciting. Here's what we're cooking up for next week: 6/30-7/6.| Clover
About a year and a half ago, at an open-to-the-public food development meeting at Clover, we blind taste-tested a new plant-based pulled pork. This wasn’t a totally new thing for us to do—as a company with a climate mission, we tend to get a lot of samples of plant-based everything, and we love trying all of them. We’ve tried mycelium-based mushroom meats, wheat-and-soy nuggets, and burgers made from kelp. One bite in, and it was clear this pulled pork was special.| Clover
