IT’S CURRANT SEASON!!

Wahoo! I LOVE these little babies. They are not that widely seen – I’ve only found them in a couple stores around here (Metropolitan Market and Whole Foods). But they are amazing. I love eating them fresh – right off the stems. They have this tart and slightly sweet flavor… Mmm! I look forward to…

Sweet Pea Ravioli with White Wine “Butter”

Hummus
