our neighbor lauren has been growing saffron for over 10 years. there is this patch of purple blooms that pop up out of nowhwere....right about now. last week I visited with her as she meticulously harvested each frond. saffron is harvested from the crocus plant. each flower produces about 3-4 fronds of saffron which shows you why this is the most valuable spice! thanks lauren for letting me chat saffron with you!

'tis the time of year for farmer's markets!
there is so much inspiration at markets...from getting inspiration to cook to color, shape, and texture...take a moment and really look at what is on offer and get inspired!
