Anchovies get a bad reputation. I blame the 90s Ninja Turtles movies, but whatever the reason it is unjustified. Just because they’re fish, doesn’t mean that what you add them to will taste like fish. They are a seasoning, like garlic powder. If treated right, they add depth to a dish without drawing attention to themselves.
Cauliflower loves anchovies, so weaving them into a crunchy panko topping totally works. And if you’re unfamiliar with cooking with anchovies, they completely melt into whatever you’re cooking to disperse evenly. No chunks – just flavor.
Even so, I know most Americans won’t venture into anchovy territory. But boy, I hope you do. It’s a whole range of experience that is just waiting for you. A brand new ingredient that deserves space in your fridge, and weekly use.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Cauliflower + anchovies?? can’t wait to try this!
Let me preface this by saying I rarely cook… but I made this and MAN it was tasty!! I felt like I was eating a restaurant side dish in my own home. Thank you!!
Anchovy paste is a nice “not scary” alternative to begin the journey if you’re afraid of what’s in the can. It’s a salty umami flavor that can’t be replicated with just salt – just a great depth of flavor that’s worth experiencing by your own hand. I’ve seen it all different locations in the grocery store- sometimes in the tuna area and sometimes it’s right next to the tubes of tomato paste.
