It is sweet and earthy with a slightly aggressive ginger bite. Now […]

Happy Meatless Monday. I have never been so excited to share a recipe. Photographing it became a battle between right and wrong.

Fresh figs are now in season and have graced the shelves of our local markets. When they finally appear I begin to purchase them like I require them for my very survival.
