I came across these vibrantly beautiful cranberry beans at the market and immediately had visions of how beautiful the hidden beans would look scattered across a plate….
Take a look at this box—this looks like a box that has travelled far, been through a lot, and has a great story to tell. Doesn’t it? I couldn’t wait to open it!
I’m not usually one to use mascarpone in savoury dishes. Not for any reason in particular, actually….I think it’s that I just tend to use other cheeses more ‘naturally’…..combined with the fact that I usually buy mascarpone only when I’m intending to use it right away (and most likely in tiramisu) so it’s not something that’s just sitting there to be grabbed and included.
I know I’m inviting much scorn and derision from many of you out there, but I’m going to admit it: I’m not totally taken in by the addage that organic is necessarily better. I know, I know, I’m going to be getting some angry emails, but that’s really how I feel.
