I've taught some pasta-making and together we have catered for a group of guests from all over the world. The island is in full-bloom, wild poppies flowering all over the landscape, floppy and flailing in the spring wind, vivid vermilion, pink snap dragons sprouting out of cracks in crumbling stone walls. We

If you need a seriously beautiful centerpiece of a salad for any of your fall and winter gatherings, this is the one! Between sweet seasonal figs, salty prosciutto, chopped Italian lettuces, gorgonzola, and a creamy vinaigrette - this one is definitely a crowd pleaser that you'll make over and over. I like to freeze the gorgonzola so that I can shave it right onto the salad, but you can definitely crumble it on too. Also, if you don't have walnut oil or can't find it, you can use all olive oil!

The second wave of summer fig season kicks off this week with a bumper crop from California—black mission, brown turkey, Calimyma, Kadota, Sierra, and tiger figs—available at a market near you from now through December. If you're already a fig fan, you'll know exactly how you like 'em—my favorite way to eat fresh figs is on warm toast slathered in goat cheese with a little rosemary and honey drizzled on top (figs also go great with Roquefort, yum). Here are three delicious ways to eat these fresh, in-season fruits right now. For breakfast: A variation on my favorite fig-goat-cheese-toast that uses ricotta instead For lunch: A five-minute flavorful chicory (endive), walnut, blue cheese, and fig salad with a red wine vinegar, olive oil, and honey dressing After dinner: While figs are great in savory dishes with meats (like pork chops), I tend to prefer them in desserts. Like this super-simple recipe from Nigel Slater, who roasts them with Marsala and honey. Perfection. Are you a fig eater? Tell us how you like to cook them!
