There’s a difference between picking a plant and knowing one.

As the forager behind Meadows & More, @meadowsandmore Tama Matsuoka Wong built her practice around a deep understanding of the land. Her mission starts with respect: leave the native and endangered species alone, take from the weeds and invasive plants, and stay attuned to natural cycles. It’s a relationship, not a transaction.

We spent a spring day with her in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Life slowed down.

“The healthier the land — and the less inputs you’ve put into it — the more it’s thriving… That makes for a better, healthier plant. And ultimately, healthier food for you.”

You can find Tama’s treasures on FreshDirect now: sumac, maitake mushrooms, brassicas, bamboo shoots, nettle. All tender, sweet, and at their prime.

IT’S PEAK INDIAN MANGO SEASON 🥭 Have you ever tried a real Indian mango? Last week we had the opportunity to try Kesar and Alphonso mangoes from @freshdirect, imported by one of the only people allowed to bring Indian mangoes into the U.S.

Honestly… nothing else really comes close to this Mango. The season only lasts about 6–8 weeks each year, so if you see them, don’t walk…

Looking for an easy seafood bite that feels fancy — without using a ton of seafood? These Seared Scallop Tostadas with Mango Avocado Salsa are perfect for pool days, spring and summer hosting, or sharing with friends. Crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor — plus a little seafood goes a long way. 🥭✨

Ingredients

Scallops
• 1 lb scallops
• 2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced

Mango Avocado Salsa
• 2 mangos, chopped
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 avocado, chopped
• 1 handful cilantro, chopped
• Zest + juice of 2 limes
• 2 tsp chili seasoning
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt + pepper

Tostadas
• 5 tortillas
• Cooking spray
• Salt

Directions

1. Make the tostadas: Using a cookie cutter, cut 8 circles from tortillas. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray both sides with cooking spray, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes until crispy. Set aside.

2. Make the salsa: Mix mango, scallions, avocado, cilantro, lime zest + juice, chili seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place in the fridge while you cook the scallops.

3. Cook the scallops: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom (about 3–4 tbsp). Once shimmering, add scallops and sear for 2 minutes on one side. Lower heat, flip, remove excess oil carefully with a paper towel, add butter + garlic, and baste for 1 minute.

Want to grill instead?
Pat scallops very dry, lightly oil, and grill over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly charred. Don’t overcook!

4. Assemble: Top crispy tostadas with mango avocado salsa and scallops — and enjoy!

My mom passed away suddenly when I was 14. I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to celebrate Mother’s Day with her as an adult. Go get our nails and hair done, go shopping, let me cook her dinner… just a simple day together. If your mom is still around, I hope you get to cherish your time together and celebrate a lovely Mother’s Day Weekend 🫶
