I'm just a 15 year old high school student in the Philadelphia suburbs with a love for food. I have an apprenticeship at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse, and will be writing about my experiences there, as well as anything else that strikes my palate.
I love going fruit and veggie picking. I have picked citrus and strawberries, as well as assorted veggies. It is always so much fun, and they seem to taste better when you picked it yourself.
The pastry has such a "homely" appearance. It is square, non-symmetrical, and looks uneven. I can't imagine a BETTER presentation for freshly picked berries. It is amazing how a plain presentation makes the food look so much sexier when you are aware of harvest/prep process. Photographing it with Alice Waters' book is amusing, but possibly lost on foodies with no humor. Great post, and excellent photos. My grandmother would be proud. David Lebovitz is only tooling around on the Mediterranean on a yacht while you are picking these beauties. Pass the stinky cheese!
Oh heavenly YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the best way to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteI was picking wild strawberries in the garden this morning. Wild strawberry sushi.

ReplyDeletejames, at my summer camp there are so many wild black and raspberries, but I've never brought them home, because we devour them right then and there
Lovely, just a perfect day.
