In the Kitchen With: Leela Cyd’s Pickled Fig and Ricotta Tartines
This week’s recipe from Portland-based photographer Leela Cyd has a picture-perfect backstory. Leela re-created the recipe after tasting something similar one cold winter day in a warm candlelit wine and cheese bar. As I type with numb fingertips, this makes me want to find an equally inspiring place to come up with a few recipes of my own. If your own home, unlike mine, is warm and cozy, you should invite friends over and prepare this for them! — Kristina
