The crispest red cabbage (shouldn’t it be called purple cabbage instead?). So crisp, you can hear a loud snap when you pinch a cabbage leaf between your fingers.
The fattest chillies. Perfect for stuffing.
The most vibrant mint leaves. My current obsession.
The prettiest marigolds (for the Dusshera festivities).
The freshest greens.
Pretty, slender beets.
The smelliest garlic. Everybody loves garlic. If you don’t, I’m not sure if we can be friends.
The best part: Meeting Anand Bhave – an architecture professor who paints with flowers, teaches origami and makes great furniture from recycled paper. It’s so sturdy, everyone can sit on it together. Pictured here: Me, my awesome new friend Sheena and Hayley on an Anand Bhave recycled table.
And of course, there is some music.
