The Market Report
Laura Avery talks beans with James Birch of Flora Bella Farm , which is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills community of Three Rivers. He has green garbanzo beans on the stalk. They come in giant bunches because they are too labor-intensive to pick off individually. In India, these large stalks are placed on a grill and sold as a snack.

Santa Monica Farmers Market Cookbook, who provides a recipe for a springtime nectarine crisp. Amelia also recommends cutting stone fruit in half (like nectarines, peaches and apricots) and placing them in a hot skillet with a small amount of butter. This seals and caramelizes the sugar in the fruits -- delicious and so simple.
