Where it all began…

Greetings and welcome to RoofTop Recipes.

At Via Verde we have the pleasure of cooking with food grown in our rooftop garden.  Shortly after the garden started growing I realized I needed more recipes to cook with the diversity of our harvest.  Rather than keeping a cookbook or storing my recipes in a shoebox I started this blog to easily pull up what I was looking for and share the tasty recipes with my neighbors.  Hope your tastebuds enjoy.

Here’s the HOW TO:

FOOD CATEGORIES (drop-down menu on the right –>

Tired of scrolling down the page of posts? Find recipes specific to the ingredient you have at home!!  The “food categories” in the drop down menu on the right will bring you to a page only containing recipes that include you ingredient.

[The recipes include ingredients that can be found in our garden as well as the selection provided in the food boxes that can be ordered weekly.]

NUTRITIONAL DATA (post feed on the right) –>

The links in this section connect to sites that provide the nutritional values of the raw and cooked foods.  This is useful if you are interested in which foods provide which nutrients and want to break down the science of your diet.
