Postcard from L.A.
Killer focaccia, spectacular pasta and Harry's Berries galore. Plus recipes for the holiday weekend, two tangy, one sweet.
Happy holiday weekend, leisure-loving cook!
If you ever find yourself in L.A. when it happens to be springtime or early summer, you must be sure, one way or another, to get your hands on the strawberries grown by Harry’s Berries. Farmed in Oxnard, about an hour and a half north of the Santa Monica Farmers Market (where I used to buy them every spring week), California’s most prized strawberries are revered for their fabulous flavor.
On a quick visit last weekend, I wasn’t able to make it to a farmer’s market, but I was delighted to find a huge Harry’s Berries display at Eataly L.A. What great good fortune!
Their price-tag made me stop in my tracks. $16.99 to get a taste?!
It’s a crazy amount of dough for a one-pound clamshell of fruit. Still, I had to.
