Ready for the oven: Spring pizza with leek scapes, fresh fava beans, chives, Thai basil, mozzarella, flaked sea salt & fresh ground pepper, good olive oil, topped with more basil, chive flowers & buds. Drizzle with balsamic and good luck trying to stop eating this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The fresh favas, straight from the vine, and leek scapes from #intuitiveforager at #marvistafarmersmarket cook to the perfect doneness in the time it take to bake the dough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I don’t feel like making fresh pizza dough, my secret go-to place is #sorrentomarket. Also highly recommended is the combo sandwich with extra red sauce, since you’re there anyways.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I’m not showing you, with pardons to my lovely vegetarian & vegan friends, are the beef short ribs that I browned and slow cooked with red wine, black tea and the chopped bottoms of the leek scapes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shredded short rib meat (and fat, who are we kidding?!) on top of this pizza with the balsamic hit: double addictive. . . . . #homemadepizza #edibleflowers #leekscapes #freshfavabeans #farmersmarketfresh #growwhatyoueat #freshfromthegarden #thekitchn #growmoremagic #frommygarden #makemoments #heresmyfood #onmytable #eatmoremagic #huffposttaste #seekthesimplicity #hocsupperclub #thesunsetkitchen #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #livemoremagic #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #gardendesignmag #hautescuisines #whpclassic (at Los Angeles, California)

Breakfast.. I know, but we can’t live on pancakes, French toast and bacon, can we now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Anyways, I had this fresh fava, chick pea and cauliflower plate topped with fresh borage flowers, nasturtiums and chopped mint. It is dressed with all sorts of good spices, labneh and fresh lime.. in retrospect, I think another dollop of labneh or any thick yogurt on top would have been in order as well.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love to use fresh flowers and herbs from the garden, for the sheer beauty, but also for the taste. The borage flowers are ever so slightly cucumber-like and the nasturtium, flowers and especially leaves are peppery and reminiscent of arugula or watercress.. As for fresh mint, sprinkle that far and wide in my world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recipe for this will follow.. . . . . . #favabeans #nasturtiums #whatsforbreakfast #edibleflowers #growwhatyoueat #freshfromthegarden #thekitchn #growmoremagic #frommygarden #theartofslowliving #makemoments #heresmyfood #onmytable #eatmoremagic #welivetoexplore #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #seekthesimplicity #hocsupperclub #thesunsetkitchen #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #livemoremagic #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #gardendesignmag #hautescuisines #whpclassic (at Los Angeles, California)

Solution for greens gone wild: Almost anything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This happens to be a an improvised Pasta y Fagioli with @kandarianorganicfarms Cranberry beans aka Borletti beans, to which I add some citrus hits (and a big spoonful of orange marmalade - trust me it works). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finally, take a big pile of those crazy overgrown greens - here, mizuna and chard - roughly chop and fold in at the end of cooking so they wilt but stay nice and green, top with a glug of good olive oil, a squeeze of lime (wot? I know, cultural mishmash, but again, it works) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Incorporating your overgrown kale, chard, arugula et al is good in any crazy number of dishes.. throw those whacked up greens into things like chicken soup, just about any bean recipe, mac & cheese 😲, and many, many pasta dishes. Just experiment, yeah go crazy 😬 . . . . . . #f52grams #eatyourgreens #growwhatyoueat #freshfromthegarden #thekitchn #growmoremagic #frommygarden #theartofslowliving #makemoments #heresmyfood #onmytable #eatmoremagic #welivetoexplore #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #sunsetkitchen #seekthesimplicity #hocsupperclub #thesunsetkitchen #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #livemoremagic #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #gardendesignmag #hautescuisines #whpclassic (at Los Angeles, California)

A roadside veggie and fruit stand in Viñales.. everywhere, these rusty old scales with their precise weights . . . . . #cubankitchen #farmersmarketfresh #farmersmarkets #thekitchn #theartofslowliving #makemoments #eatmoremagic #welivetoexplore #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #liveunscripted #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #livemoremagic #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #whpclassic #cntravel #iamatraveler #travelstroke #darlingplaces #darlingescapes #athomeintheworld #traveldeep #pathport (at Viñales, Cuba)

Persians-Cubana breakfast! The first restaurant we came across when walking out the sort of the Airbnb was Persian, like we never left LA 🤣😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have yet to find real butter or milk here - it’s all kind of reconstituted, even the butter.. so J and I had an argument about wether there are milk-centric and non milk-centric cultures. Of course you think of the countries in Asia, or China, Japan, Korea as non-milk centric, and more of the northern countries as milk & butter lovers. Cuba definitely in the non milk sector, at least in Havana - although I’ve been told it’s more common in the countryside. Then we started talking about Mexico, which in my opinion falls somewhere in between. Thoughts anyone? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The fresh fruit and the pork are very good here, as is the seafood, and of course the beer and run😬😊 . . . . . . . #cubanfood #farmersmarketfresh #farmersmarkets #thekitchn #theartofslowliving #makemoments #eatmoremagic #welivetoexplore #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #liveunscripted #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #livemoremagic #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #whpclassic #cntravel #iamatraveler #travelstroke #darlingplaces #darlingescapes #athomeintheworld #traveldeep #pathport #feelfreefeed ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (at Havana, Cuba)

Wtf? Is it August or December?? Gazpacho or ragu, panzenella or shakshuka? 4th of July BBQ or Christmas dinner? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m a little seasonally challenged right now here in LA - what about you?? . . . . . #marvistafarmersmarket #tomatoesinwinter what are #seasonalveggies these days? #eatyourveggies #f52grams #thekitchn #growmoremagic #theartofslowliving #farmersmarketfresh #gardendesignmag #makemoments #heresmyfood #onmytable #eatmoremagic #growmoremagic #livemoremagic #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #liveunscripted #liveauthentic #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #lifeandthyme #hautescuisine #gloobyfood #beautifulcuisines (at Los Angeles, California)

Can you see why this is called moon fish? I would even call this super moon fish, but actually it’s Opah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was beautiful, line caught and fresh, but I have to admit it’s a meaty fish, more along the lines of swordfish, and just a little too much so for me 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But damn it’s pretty 😉🤣 . . . . . #opah #moonfish #f52grams #linecaught #thekitchn #freshingredients #theartofslowliving #makemoments #heresmyfood #onmytable #eatmoremagic #welivetoexplore #inspiremyinstagram #huffposttaste #thatauthenticfeeling #seekthesimplicity #liveunscripted #liveauthentic #verilymoment #sosavory #feedyoursoull #sunsetmag #saveurmag #lifeandthyme #hautescuisines #gloobyfood #bhgfood (at Los Angeles, California)
