    Thanks Marian, it was so nice to meet you! Thanks for the shout out too, the demo was a success and FUN! It was great watching everyone eat the radish in a way they have never tried! Just goes to show you what a little olive oil, salt and vermouth can do!

    I did a post: http://ladivacucina.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-diva-does-fairchild-tropical-garden.html

    The recipe for the radish and sausage pasta is on my web page! Thanks again!

    Laura, it was great to meet you! Those cute little radishes got what they deserved, didn’t they? Sorry I had to wander off to take notes on Gabriele’s mushrooms, would have loved to taste your creation. Have never cooked with vermouth, so that’s a new one for me. Will go check out your blog. Am still sifting through notes and photos from the event and will post about it this week.
