It's corn season! We're happy to eat this sweet summer treat any way we can get it, including the Mexican street food classic, elotes. It's creamy, salty, sweet, and spicy with a refreshing hit of lime juice and cilantro (or not, for all you cilantro doubters out there!). And if you prefer eating your corn with a spoon, you can always make esquites instead.
On a more sobering note, Dawn Woodward of Evelyn's Crackers shared this article about the climate crisis struggles Canadian grain farmers have faced this year, with drought and heat - including wildfire threats - in the west, and drought followed by devastating storms here in Ontario. Dawn and other bakers across Canada discuss their strategies for coping with changing grain conditions in their baking, an especially crucial concern when you work wholly with whole grains, as Dawn does.
