My Fruit Trees

The fig tree at Lidia’s current home reminds her of her time growing up in Istria, where they would grow fruit trees. This brings back memories of eating the sweet fruits grown on the trees and playing amongst them. Recipes in this episode include a Roasted Pork Loin with Dried Cherry Sauce and an elegant Fennel and Asian Pear Salad that bursts with flavor.
