b) From Provence to Your Plate: Discover the Simple Summer Dish That Stole My Heart đđ„ by Nik Sharma of The Flavor Files

Some were like eating raspberry jam straight from the tree. Honestly, I could move to Provence just for the figs (long-time readers know Iâm obsessedâIâve got four dwarf fig trees in my LA garden).â wrote Nik.
c) Picturesque Corsica - by Eri - letâs go⊠just a Note, nothing further to read here.
