Cooking Basics

You’ve swirled and sniffed your wine to evaluate the flavor, thumped and squeezed your produce to judge ripeness.

For many, it’s the most blissful meal of the week: Lingering over a decadent brunch. But what about the other six days of the week?

With summer coming to an end, we can start to look forward to cooler temperatures and fall fruits and vegetables. Although you can easily source most produce year-round, they do have peak seasons in the year when they are at their prime.

If you occupy the world of food the way we do here at La Brea Bakery, you’re bound to have a foodie crush or two.

The summer solstice is finally upon us, which means we can warmly begin to welcome in our favorite summer fruits and vegetables. Complete your weekend with a family trip to your local farmer's market and see what your local growers have to offer during this time of abundance.
