Lots of my recipes are inspired by what I’m growing, harvesting, or find flourishing in both my garden and those I visit. The last few days have been filled with inspiration partly because I’ve discovered and picked more than 2 quarts wild black raspberries in the woods behind my house.
This summer I spent a glorious five days in Washington State taking photographs of beautiful lavender farms and learning about the world’s most beautiful herb. As you can see from the lavender images here, this perennial herb grows amazingly well there and the scenery was spectacular. Each lavender farm my husband and I visited had its own unique vistas and charm.
