Thank you so much for these fig-based r...Dear Liza,<br />Thank you so much for these fig-based recipes! Great additions to what you've already published on the figs topic!!<br />I'm experimenting with all these variations. And I must say, the experience has been so rewarding!<br />I share your passion for figs and fig-bases tartines. We are right now in the South of France, which feels literally like the fig paradise on the earth... White figs, dark-violete figs, tennis-ball-sized figs, delicate bell-like figs; local (from France) and others brought from the near medirettaneon countries, Italy and Spain)... all these (more than 10)sorts are on the farmer's market and sampling them becomes my morning ritual now.<br />My family's favorite cheese-fig matches became those with the blue cheese, the camambert and the mozza... <br /><br />Regarding the Walnut-Arugula Pesto: I made it with walnut oil, it's equally delicious and so rich in flavors.<br />I also made a variant in which I used ground almonds instead of walnuts (and then added the olive oil). The result is a bit lighter and brings new flavors.<br /><br />Thank you again for all these inspirational ideas! Reading your posts means a lot to me and it greatly controbites to my culinary experiences while on vacation:-)<br />All the best!La Torontoisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917782200342901370.post-20744805546889901322013-08-19T22:12:50.395-07:002013-08-19T22:12:50.395-07:00I'm loving the fig diagram plate.

Can you believe I'm running dangerously low and was wishing you ladies were still here to help me make more. I haven't seen the best of the figs out here yet, I will be on the lookout. Hoping you aren't working to hard and you get more time soon to make jam and I also wish I had one of those brown butter cookies right about now.<br />-Gina-Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06992109988343596133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917782200342901370.post-60901814622985323192013-08-18T12:40:07.819-07:002013-08-18T12:40:07.819-07:00I hope you had a great party!
