John Fladd takes a look at kimchi, the fermented staple of Korean dishes that is on dishes at a variety of area restaurants — and can be a tasty addition in your kitchen.

Also on the cover Twisted Mallow describes itself on its website as a marshmallow company producing “small batches crafted in the US ironically created by a dental hygienist.” See the story on page 18. The Nashua International Sculpture Symposium starts Thursday, May 8 (page 14). Michael Witthaus talks to House Lights singer and lyricist Sam Beachard ahead of their Friday, May 9, show at the Shaskeen in Manchester with SleepSpirit, Moments Of and Empty Halls (page 25).
