Sweet summer berries take center stage in our Paleo Black and Blueberry Pie I can’t stop making this Paleo Black and Blueberry Pie with lard in the crust I’m not kidding.

I have a thing for naturally purple foods, apparently. I went purple crazy at the farmers market earlier this spring, with purple spring onions, purple cauliflower, and gorgeous purple garlic. One thing is for sure, all that purple makes for some stunning photos. Cauliflower is a cool weather vegetable, so it usually disappears from the local markets during the heat of the summer.

I’ve made it my goal to sift through my skyscraper of food magazines. The ever-growing pile that sits in our living room. It had been nicely arranged on the shelf, but when my dishes and props collection rapidly expanded during the shooting of my cookbook, the magazines were relegated to the corner to make room for stacks of plates. The intention was to go back through them, rescue the forgotten recipes, and recycle....
