A day in the Jato Valley and Piano Albareshe. 1. Lunch at the masseria. 2. Bread that’s the primogeniture of Angeli bread 3. Cows coming in from pasture to be milked. 4. Giovanni and his Caciocavallo cheese (not butter, not soap). The color comes from the high beta carotene in the milk because of the health of the pastures.

Entry into Palermo life. First day lunch @sardinapastabar Women run. 1. Carciofi Caponata, a base of traditional sweet and sour onion, celery, olives, capers enriched with thin pieces of fried swordfish in teriyaki and topped with artichoke spears. 2: Busiate with clams, cherry tomatoes, pistashio pesto. Spectacular.

There has never been a better time to eat bagels in Los Angeles. While it might not be the carbohydrate the city is known for (that’d be tortillas), it’s one that the city does well. Over the past few years, several new bagel options have popped up offering exciting styles, flavors, and cream cheese varieties. @khushandoj took @kcrwevan to try a bountiful spread of 72-hour fermented sourdough bagels from @mustardsbagels complete with toppings straight from the farmer’s market. Find the rest of Khushbu’s bagel shop recommendations at the link in bio. 🔗 🎥: @emkopel + @elinashatkin

Biscuits or cornbread? Fried chicken or ribs? We asked @bravotopchef judges and cheftestants at the Top Chef: Carolinas FYC event (with a panel moderated by @kcrwevan ) to make some tough choices about their favorite Southern comfort foods.

Peaches aren’t in season yet, but you can get a subtle taste by using the leaves from peach trees. The flavor is subtle, like peaches and almonds. @tomat.la chef Harry Posner gets white peach tree leaves from @knkranch . He steeps them in milk to make a peach leaf gelato, which he incorporates into a millefeuille with strawberry and elderflower compote, strawberry curd, and fresh cherries. 📹: @elinashatkin

English. Snow. Snap. @kcrwevan tells us the many ways to take these little green pods and turn them into delicious dishes. Even though it’s taken a long time for English peas to gain a foothold in Southern California markets, they are now a harbinger of Spring. Chefs all over the city compete for the small supply. English peas are the variety you zip out of the pods, but their cousins, sugar snaps, are abundantly available and snow peas are coming soon. Look for them all at @finleyfarms and other farmers market stands.

@kcrwgoodfood Pie Fest with over 400 entries from adult and junior bakers. After judges announced winners, guests raced for handfuls of leftover pie samples. Overheard: We had to walk away because he keeps trying to stick his fingers in the pie. Our thoughts: Are you referring to your toddler or Will Ferrell? #eatsdropping #piedrama #losangeles #kcrwpiefest #dessert
