What’s Your Favorite Way to Start a Meal?
We had our first taste of autumn this week, as the temperature dropped more than 40 degrees, and rains swept through Los Angeles. It’s sunny again, but summer is clearly behind us. Really ripe corn, peaches, nectarines and tomatoes have already become scarce. I grabbed a melon in the market today, knowing it could be my last for the next six months. I don’t mind that some foods are only available in certain seasons, because it deepens the pleasure of eating them, when they are. This past spring in Italy, I began almost every dinner with prosciutto and melon, which is exactly what I’ll be wistfully doing tonight. How about you?
