There are so many delicious meals you can make with
local foods. One of the great things about the
localvore is that it is happening everywhere.
Rather than create our own recipe database, may I
suggest you search and add to the database kept up by
our neighboring localvore pod in the Mad River Valley.
A little further away is the Upper Valley Localvores,
but I imagine they are eating a lot of the same things
we are (except they probably get some occasional Maine
seafood :).

You could make your own vinegar
with local juice or sweetener. I’m making apple cider
vinegar to use in dressings and so I can make my own
ketchup. Info on how to make your own vinegar found at
following web pages.
