We sow, tend, harvest, cook, and eat. Melinmac cooks is our collection of tried and true recipes, interwoven with garden lore and snippets of memories. These recipes are ours. I hope that you’ll try them, enjoy them, and make them yours too.

You’ll find fantastic, seasonal recipes on this site – most of them gluten-free. And many of the recipes involve fermentation, including sourdough. If you’re new to this site, check out the Index of Recipes and the About Us pages. This all began with a restaurant habit. Now we do it ourselves – we grow, cook, and eat our own veg, and buy most of our meat and dairy locally. If only we could grow lemons and coffee in Connecticut! We do still patronize restaurants for fun and inspiration, just not as often as we once did. It’s all good. Welcome to melinmac cooks!
