I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. I learned growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish from my farmer grandparents and parents. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
