Luke's Featured Maker: Flowers by Carra
Growing up in the Midwest, Carra was required to help pulling weeds, spreading compost, and planting in her mother’s elaborate garden. As a teenager, that was far from what she wanted to be doing in her spare time. Looking back though, she’s learned to cherish that quality time with her mother while learning to appreciate the details of a garden’s offerings.

Chef Nicolette's Eggplant Caponata
"I love making a big batch of caponata in the summer to have in my fridge all week. It’s great with pretty much anything- meat, fish, toast, fried eggs, cheese- it’s just delish! This recipe makes things a bit easier by roasted the eggplant and folding it in at the end. Traditionally, pine nuts are mixed in but I like garnishing with almonds since we live in the almond mecca and this way they add nice crunch to the dish. Caponata is better made at least a day in advance as well to allow the flavors to meld together. Even people who are weary of eggplant won’t be able to resist the sweet, tart and rich flavor of this caponata!"
