The Most Beautifully “Packaged” Spinach

The Most Beautifully “Packaged” Spinach

There are gorgeous food markets all over Turkey. Any food lover or anyone looking for inspiration to cook or who simply wants to see the beauty of nature on display should spend a morning going through one of these pazars, or farmers markets. They really do make you realize what grows locally, and each vendor also has his/her own way of displaying their wares.  For example, I love the way this particular vendor at the market bundled the spinach, with plant stems of some sort (probably from the spinach itself). With all the talk around the globe about reducing plastic and waste overall, I would venture to say this is not something new to these farmers who have always had to be very ingenious with their ‘packaging’ and displaying of their goods. I just thought this was particularly beautiful and it made me happy to see how neat and organized it all was, too. I thought it was worth the share.

Culinary Delights From Dubai

Those of you who followed me around Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter during my trip to Dubai got a glimpse at many of the activities that I was engaging in while I had scattered wi-fi and could actually post in real time. What you weren’t able to see up close are many of the things that I actually brought back to use in my cooking and entertaining. I decided to make a live video on my Facebook page to show you all the goodies and how you can get them if you visit the fantastic, bustling city of Dubai.
