March Pantry Discovery Box -- Women's History Month

Posted on Mar 01, 2022 By Jennifer Piette

Since March is Women's History Month, we turned to our long time friend and Semolina Pasta maker Leah Ferrazzani to curate a selection of pantry items from her favorite small-scale women-owned food-makers -- including a special recipe she is creating with her team, to go with the items in the box!

Leah's Lemony Pasta with Butterbeans

Leah chose the non profit Regarding Her as the beneficiary of this Women's History Month box! Born during the pandemic, we have all been so grateful for the work this organisation has done to build on the tight knit community of women in food, based in Los Angeles.

Included in the Box:

Semolina Pasta
Conchiglie

Small batch dried pasta from the woman Food and Wine called "the center of LA's big beautiful pasta moment". Whether you're cooking up a wicked batch of shells n' cheese or want a shape to capture a meaty ragu or vegetables, Semolina Pasta conchiglie will add both beauty and flavor.

Butterbean Studios
Butter Beans

Erin Pata designs logos and prints packaging in the cowboy-quarters-turned-studio on the Pata Ranch, a centennial farm and ranch, on the pristine, but blustery, Central California coastline, where these beautiful butter beans were grown and bagged.

Manzanita Manor
Dry-Farmed Organic Walnuts

Since 1997, Cynthia and Jutta have been growing organic, dry-farmed walnuts. We source these raw walnuts directly from the farm, where they have been shelled. These are, perfectly delicious and hugely planet-friendly nuts!

Fishwife
Smoked Trout

Fishwife's mission is to make ethically-sourced, premium, and delicious tinned seafood a staple in every American cupboard.

Fishwife currently works with small boat fisherfolk, sustainable aquaculture farms, and microcanneries on the Pacific coast and in Idaho to bring the vibrance of conservas culture to the American table.

If & When
Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste

If & When Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste shows that preserved lemon, a beloved tradition of Moroccan and Middle Eastern cuisine, deserves a prominent place in the kitchen pantry. Use this umami on everyday foods as a shortcut to brighter flavors in every spoonful - added to raw meat and fish before grilling, vegetables before roasting and desserts before baking.
