Just like me in this heat💚 see you tomorrow at @smfms in my stories! 💚 . . #f52farmstand #thekitchn #foodandwine #f52grams #foodnetwork #lafoodie #lachefs #foodstyling #professionalchefs #foodphotography #letscookvegan #infatuationla #veganfoodshare #bestofvegan #plantbasedfood #food52 #gastroart #artofplating #onthetable #forkyeah #cookniche #chefsroll #chefstalk #yahoofood #bonappetitmag #chefslife #plantbasedchef #lifeandthyme #chefsofinstagram #truecooks

Heirloom tomatoes. If you grow your own or buy them at the farmers market you will have the chance to try and use more than just the ripe fruit. Be brave and pick some at the green stage and pickle them, fry them, add to stews, curries. I made a caponata with them, and the contrast of the green tomatoes in the sweet roasted tomato sauce with the meaty eggplant is pure perfection 👌. And as I said in my stories, the leaves of the tomato plant can be toxic if you eat a lot, that you wouldn’t want to do anyway right?! So just use for infusing sauces, oil, tomato water. And enjoy the added layer of flavor 🍅. . . #f52farmstand #thekitchn #feedfeed #foodandwine #foodnetwork #f52grams #lafoodie #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #foodstyling #foodphotography #chefsofinstagram #infatuationla #letscookvegan #veganfoodshare #plantbasedfood #saveurmag #bestofvegan #food52 #yahoofood #buzzfeast #theartofslowliving #chefsroll #chefstalk #cookniche #yahoofood #lifeandthyme #lafoodie #buzzfeast

🍅🍅🍅 with home made farmers cheese, roasted tomato vinaigrette, tarragon oil, green tomato salt and the crunchy green purslane. . Spent my morning with gorgeous heirloom fruits and couldn’t stop taking photos of them. Had a bit of survey in my stories, thank you ever so much for participating! So many of you responded and the friendly competition is super tight but so far more of you attracted to this image. Since the other one is a very strong runner up (may even overtake), will find its way to my feed for sure. . . #howisummer #f52farmstand #thekitchn #feedfeed #foodandwine #foodnetwork #f52grams #lafoodie #beautifulcuisines #huffposttaste #foodstyling #foodphotography #chefsofinstagram #infatuationla #plantbasedchef #beautifulcuisines #tv_stilllife #plantbasedfood #saveurmag #bestofvegan #food52 #yahoofood #buzzfeast #theartofslowliving #cookniche #yahoofood #lifeandthyme #lafoodie #buzzfeast

🍉 Compressed watermelon 🍉. Cucumber, fennel, perilla, raw chia-sesame crisp. Check out my story about the crisps. I juiced some green tomatoes for soaking the chia and seasoned with garlic, sweet onion and some secret ingredients 😉. Dehydrated into crisps. Used feta brine for the dressing, that part is not vegan. If you are not vegan try and make a vinaigrette with the brine, so good!! 👌 . . #thisissummer #artofplating #culinaryart #gastroart #theartofplating #cookniche #chefsofinstagram #chefslife #truecooks #lifeandthyme #food52 #f52grams #letscookvegan #plantbased #plantstrong #rawfood #healthyfoodshare #forkyeah #eeeeeats #dinela #eater #spoonfeed #vscofood #foodstyling #foodphotography #thekitchn #feedfeed #hautecuisine #watermelon

Lemon cucumber #gazpacho, melon ribbons, fennel pollen, borage petals. 🌞 #thisissummer 🌞 . 🍋 🥒 Lemon cucumber is actually a cucumber variety, check out my story if you never heard of it! It is yet another vegetable that I got to know here in California. Really love its mild flavor and it has been on my summer menu for years now, with different herbs and fruits💚 The cucumber is blended with white onion, garlic, celery, fennel, then strained and back in the blender to finish with yogurt (dairy or coconut meat) and olive oil. Season with salt and lemon juice to taste💚 . . #artofplating #culinaryart #gastroart #theartofplating #cookniche #chefsofinstagram #chefslife #truecooks #lifeandthyme #food52 #f52grams #letscookvegan #plantbased #plantstrong #rawfood #healthyfoodshare #forkyeah #eeeeeats #dinela #eater #spoonfeed #vscofood #foodstyling #foodphotography #thekitchn #feedfeed
