The Mossy Table

Wildly Flavorful Meals for Life Beyond the Roads

Welcome to The Mossy Table

I live on a remote island in the Bering Sea, where planes bring the groceries, the wind sets the pace, and every meal is a mix of what’s shipped in, foraged, or found in a well-stocked pantry. Cooking here means making every ingredient count, and turning it into something that feels worth gathering around.

This space is for anyone who loves food with a sense of place. You’ll find recipes built from pantry staples and unexpected finds. Even if you’ve never set foot on a tundra, you’re welcome at this table, to cook, to wander, and to bring a little of this wildness home. Come back often as my pantry stable cooking skills grow, so will the recipe collection.

The Tundra Pantry

Out here, there are zero restaurants to fall back on. Every meal is made at home, from scratch. Cooking in this place takes planning, creativity, and a little bit of the right gear. With supplies arriving by plane or ship and the pantry doing most of the heavy lifting, I’ve learned to rely on tools that help speed up the process without cutting corners.

In this section, I’m sharing the tools that actually earn their spot in my kitchen — the ones that make it easier to turn pantry staples, foraged finds, and the occasional fresh delivery into meals that feel abundant.
