- Our favorite French hand brooms from Andrée Jardin are now available in the US at Alder & Co.
- Sarah has picked her first persimmon of the season and is looking at how to make hoshigaki, shown here in progress—that’s dried persimmon, Japanese style. Read more about the revival of hoshigaki at the LA Times.
