My Endless Quest For Produce

Combine my love of cooking with my love of fruits and vegetables and you get my endless quest for fresh and affordable produce.  Some of you may remember the $10 watermelons I never bought in Korea.  Well thankfully, Spain is a lot more produce friendly.  There is a small chain of stores in Moron de… Continue reading My Endless Quest For Produce
