Collecting Coriander and Self sowing Cilantro
Home grown coriander seeds are inexplicably better than any you could ever find in a store. The flavor is clear, sweet and almost smokey, a bit reminiscent of caraway. Even the expensive coriander I purchased at a specialty shop doesn’t … Continue reading
Skillet Flat Bread with Home Grown Coriander
This flat bread makes a lovely accompaniment to chili, fajitas, curries and almost anything, I folded these up soft taco style, with refried beans, roasted tomatoes and a heap of fresh greens from the garden. If you have never done … Continue reading

Somebody’s Growing Food in the Court Yard
On the way to my clients condo, I spied a few edibles tucked in around the common area court yard, I am guessing this patch of food belongs to the condo owner with the patio directly behind the fence where … Continue reading
Unearthing Potatoes
There is nothing like fresh from the garden potatoes! The flavor is robust but the flesh is fine and silky. I was surprised the first time I grew my own potatoes because the skins are tissue paper thin, no need … Continue reading
