Let's Broc and Roll everyone! This week's surprise is the Broccoli Short Stack Recipe book with their fresh deliveries this week. The recipe book starts off with a great story of how Tyler used to be a picky eater and how he grew to love other foods. But one thing remained constant: his love for broccoli. This recipe book brings new energy and inspiration to this great and reliable ingredient.

Tyler Kord is a chef and restaurateur in New York City. He is the owner of No. 7 in Brooklyn's Ft. Greene neighborhood and the No. 7 Sub sandwich shops at the Ace Hotel, The Plaza, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He has worked for chef Alain Sailhac at the French Culinary Institute and chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Perry St. Tyler also has a B.A. in English from Oberlin College and his parents can't believe that his education might have actually been a useful part of his life as he tries to write a cookbook that is not embarrassing.

The heart seed paper is coming from artist, paper maker, and Farm.One member, Randy Brozen. She lovingly made these hearts by hand from all-natural abaca fibers, added color with hibiscus tea, and embedded them with Genovese Basil seeds. These are wrapped in compostable and plant-based cellophane.

To plant these hearts and let love grow, soak the heart overnight in water, plant under a thin layer of soil, and keep it warm and moist until the seeds sprout. The heart itself will compost directly in soil.

From Rawsome Treats, this week's surprise is Ranch Cream Cheese. This is made from entirely plant-based and raw ingredients in New York City. Watt Sriboonruang, our guest on the Farm.One Podcast this week, just released this product and Farm.One members are one of the first to try it. Watt opened Rawsome Treats in 2013 to create desserts that were guilt-free! She only uses raw and plant based ingredients for her creations.

You can use this vegan cashew cream cheese as a dip (Watt loves it with apples), as a spread on fresh bread, and we love it especially with a little roasted cauliflower. Wow!

Ingredients:

cashews, olive oil, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, ranch seasoning (dried dill, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder), Himalayan salt, probiotic
