"Fig season is upon us and produce stalls boast plentiful trays of purple figs, soft at the hips and oft leaking a drop of sap from their, um, bottom. Of course, they cost an eye -- figs are a luxury in Paris any time of the year -- but the fig fanatic in me is willing to make any sort of monetary sacrifice to fuel my addiction." ~ so wrote Clotilde from Chocolate & Zucchini, unofficially launching the fig season. From there, I grabbed a handful of fresh figs to nibble on while collecting ideas, just for tasting inspiration, of course.
