 The brocoli became a warm salad with tahini dressing. Whenever I pick up this fresh produce from my uncles' farm, I feel that I'm reliving those past times of other family members. At any rate, I know I wouldn't buy much of this even if I didn't have access to it. So if my food is colourful and looks less boring, it's because of a lot of hard work that has gone into growing it to get it on the table. 
Summer-planted zucchini, sunbathing in our winter garden - 24°C today, even if it's December!
A broccoli head may sound insignificant because we aren't going to survive on just broccoli, but I'm saying that now because we haven't reached the bottom of the pit yet. If and when we do, it should be remembered that there is light at the end of the tunnel - even though it's winter, sunny weather is always round the corner in Crete.©All Rights Reserved/Organically cooked.

When the Chinese leafy vegetables began growing, my uncle phoned me to let me know. "The Kinezoi have arrived," he said.
