As Spring approaches (or in some cases, is finally here), the blogosphere is turning to Harvest to Heat for inspiration in their own kitchen! Here’s a sampling of recent blog posts about Harvest to Heat:
- Ladyberd’s Kitchen made Burrata with speck, peas, & mint
- Cute Fan Girl Goes Local discussed New England’s representation in the book, as well as her desire to get Harvest to Heat for Mother’s Day.
- Lari Washburn just bought Harvest to Heat and has already made the beet salad.
Harvest to Heat is collaborating with The Glass House to host a one-of-a-kind culinary event that celebrates the connection between land and plate; chef, farmer and artisan.
This celebration takes place over two days. Click through for more details!
About vegetable main dishes: “How do you make the ‘sink your teeth into it’ part of it, that makes you think, okay, I had dinner now?” says Clark Frasier, whose vegetable tasting menu will premiere at Arrows in Ogunquit, Maine, later this month.

Pork Tenderloin
Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Season two ¾-1¼ lb. pork tenderloins, trimmed of silverskin, with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Let rest on the counter for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare to make the pan sauce by chopping the scallions and measuring out the wine and broth (see below). By preparing in advance, you will be able to make the pan sauce quickly, before the tenderloins cool.
After the meat has rested for 30 minutes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the tenderloins lightly, turning them frequently to brown on all sides, just 3 to 4 minutes total. Place the skillet in the hot oven and roast the pork for just 12-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature is no more than 145 to 150 degrees (note: the USDA recommends 160 degrees). Remove the meat from the pan and let the meat rest on a platter, covered loosely with foil, for 5 minutes while you make the pan sauce.
To make the pan sauce, place the skillet with the remaining bit of fat on the stove over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (scallions) or shallots and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Stir in ½ cup dry white wine. Bring to a boil, add ¾ cup low-salt chicken stock, and reduce until the sauce just turns syrupy. Carve the meat into ½ inch thick slices, pour the sauce over the top, and serve.
