The Organic Dish provides easy and delicious, healthy, natural and organic "make-your-own" meals and dinner kits for vegetarians and omnivores in Boulder, Colorado.
This is our June menu – you missed it, but we may still have some items in our freezer, so stop by our kitchen before they’re all gone.
Going LocalIn order to offer the freshest, best tasting and most humanely raised meat, we buy our beef and pork from small, local, hormone and antibiotic free (but not certified organic) producers. Read more about where our food comes from …
Local guest/celebrity chefs frequently contribute one recipe to our menu. Our Chef of the Month for June is Chef Barr Hogan (www.barr-none.net), who also co-authors the wonderful blog www.flavorista.com.
After cooking with many renowned Bay Area chefs, she opened one of San Francisco’s first whole foods restaurants, Val 21. Unbeknownst to her, the juice bar at Val 21 would be her first introduction to the nutritional value of juicing, which turned into a nine-year career as Creative Chef at Odwalla, Inc.. Barr also worked as a chef at San Francisco’s Project Open Hand, preparing meals with love for people with AIDS. Chef Barr is now a consultant to the Natural Foods industry and helps her clients with product development, ingredient recommendations, reformulations and branding.
