Make time for seasonal cooking
Times Food writer and cookbook author Russ Parsons serves as your guide to the cream of the farmers market crop, recipes included.
Just hitting their prime at the market this month: plump figs, bermuda onions, mixed berries, and wild strawberries so melt-in-your-mouth sweet that you'll forget all about how ugly they are.
Select produce arriving this month at the markets includes delicate Persian mulberries and Blenheim apricots that can highlight a summer salad. You'll also find zucchini blossoms that are just begging to be fried up and green garbanzo beans fresh off the stalk.
