I start cooking as soon as possible after shopping, when the memory of the market's sun and cheerful tents are still in mind. If you can't get to it immediately, though, put everything but the greens in a big bowl on your kitchen table instead of refrigerating it. In plain sight, your vegetables will chide … Continue reading an excerpt and a note on farmer’s markets
