    Summer Corn & Basil Ragù

    A brothy, buttery late-summer ragù that happens when you overshop at the farmers' market. Almost all pantry — corn, basil, a little wine, a spoon of white miso to finish.

    Serves 4 50 minutes


    Ingredients
    • 6 ears sweet corn, kernels scraped (cobs reserved)
    • 1 shallot, minced
    • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
    • 1 cup dry white wine
    • 1 tbsp white miso
    • 1 cup basil leaves, torn
    • 3 tbsp ( 42 g, 1.5 oz ) unsalted butter

      Cultured if I have it.

    • Olive oil, salt, black pepper

    Method
    1. 6 ears sweet corn · 3 cups water
      i. Scrape kernels into a bowl. Simmer the stripped cobs in 3 cups water for 20 minutes for a quick corn stock. Strain.
    2. olive oil · 1 shallot · 3 garlic cloves
      ii. Heat a wide pan over medium. Coat with olive oil, sweat shallot until translucent, 4 minutes. Add garlic, 30 seconds.
    3. the scraped kernels · salt
      iii. Add kernels and a pinch of salt. Cook 3 minutes, until they pop and turn glossy.
    4. 1 cup white wine · 2 cups corn stock · 1 tbsp white miso
      iv. Deglaze with wine; reduce by half. Add 2 cups stock and the miso. Simmer gently 10–12 minutes — it should thicken to a loose ragù.
    5. 3 tbsp butter · 1 cup basil · black pepper
      v. Off heat, stir in butter and torn basil. Taste; pepper heavily.
    6. toasted bread or polenta
      vi. Spoon onto toasted bread or polenta.
    ii.

    Let it live beautifully.

    Every recipe is formatted as though it were already printed — small-caps chapter marks, italic Roman numerals, a folio.

  3. iii.

    Build a library worth pressing.

    Forty recipes. A hundred. Browse by season, time, or what you have in the fridge. The library grows; the book waits.

The recipe you scroll is the recipe you hold.

Hearth typesets every recipe in the same system the moment you save it. Small-caps chapter marks, italic Roman numerals on the steps, a folio at the foot of the page. So the book is half-made the moment your library is — no reformatting, no re-photographing, no surprises.

HEARTH · PRESS HEARTH Recipes worth keeping,
bound in cloth.
—  A specimen volume from Vol. One.  —

Every Hearth volume is a one-off. You choose the recipes, the title, the cover.

Multi-select recipes from your library. Give them a title — a name for an occasion, a season, a person. Pick a cloth and a foil. We press, bind, and post one copy: yours.

We're a small editorial team. We do this slowly, in editions of one, because we believe the recipes you love are worth keeping the way books are kept.

  1. First

    You build your library, recipe by recipe.

    Over weeks, months, years. The app's job is to keep it. We're not in a hurry, and neither are you.

  2. Then

    You pick the recipes that belong together.

    The autumn ones. The recipes your grandmother taught you. The dishes a friend made on a particular night.

  3. Last

    We press, bind, and post the book to you.

    Designed at Hearth, printed and bound by our press partner. One pressing per order — no inventory, no waste.
