Uncle Mike’s great friend, Bob Jarvis, has offered up some great tips and recipes to inspire cooking with early season veggies. Jarvis owns the Pilot House restaurant in Sandwich, the Quarterdeck in Falmouth and Buca Restaurant and Wine Bar in North Falmouth. Inspired by the local fishing and agriculture scene and gardening, here are some of the recipes they cooked up using Uncle Mike’s veggies and herbs. Photography by Kate Murphy Lowenstein
