The photo is of Nettle-ricotta cannelloni; wild mushrooms, oxalis flowers.

ken — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:33:28 +0000

Perhaps Gorgon Ramsey is being a little bit hypocritical when he calls for restaurants to be forced to serve home-grown, locally-sourced produce, and fined if out of season ingredients appear on their menus.
