About BrusselsSprouts.org

BrusselsSprouts.org is a thorough, opinionated reference on a vegetable that's had a real rehabilitation. Once a punchline at the holiday table, sprouts have become the standard-bearer of the "this one good technique transformed it" school of vegetable cooking. We cover that technique. We also cover the seed catalog, the soil, and the science.

Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) reward attention: a hot enough pan, an honest amount of fat, and a willingness to let the edges go past golden. We write recipes that say so, plainly, and growing guides written for people who actually have a backyard.
