Curly at Osmo Gaia farm grows the most amazing greens. In the background on the table are some bok choy starts, and he’s also selling some harvested mature ones to eat. They are very tender and bursting with a kind of sweet and slightly spicy juice in the stalk. The leaves are crisp and very tender, it seems a crime to cook them as they taste so pure as is. He has mustard greens with a very rich but not overpowering flavor; also: wild spinach, nettles, collard greens and mizuna. We chatted about photography, discovering that both our fathers are photographers.

Your food photos are very clear in how they show the food without a lot of elaborate dressing & prepping for appearance, though you use composition like an artist. I like that, it makes the food seem more real.

The photo is so beautiful it really gives the feel of the market, the friendly people, how much you love the food and the whole scene. I really see all this stream of living, eating, shopping, cooking as part of a documented healthy, elegant cookbook. I wish I had access to local, beautiful food.
