Before we get started…

My latest piece, part two of my series on wayfinding through the history of the cookbook, is out in Mold Magazine. Give it a read here!

A ripe mango is truly one of the greatest treats: and for the dedicated among us, when mangoes go on sale or a neighbor has a bumper crop, we can't resist stocking up. If you find yourself with six mangoes (or more), you might be hungry for ideas beyond fresh eating.

Here's how I use every part: peels, pits, and all.

For more mango goodness: Check out the mango coriander recipe in my new book, The Fermentation Oracle. It is, hands down, one of my very favorite ways to enjoy a ripe mango.
