What a handy list!
Where did you find dried mulberries?
Hi Heather, Are you in the east bay? I recommend Delightfully Turkish brand; they come in a prepackaged bag and tend to be near the dried fruit. El Cerrito Natural carries them and probably Berkeley Bowl. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi again! Just a note that I spotted them also at Whole Foods on the dried fruit aisle.
I have never been interested in baking, but you have made a new woman out of me. I cannot wait to try your beautiful recipes. Absolutely Gorgeous blog. Your writing is superb and your pictures are good enough to eat.
Thanks so much, Barb! I appreciate you stopping by and sharing your kind words. If you do try a recipe, I’d love to hear about it. Bon appetit!
