Julia,
Shiso was a journey, alright. Good luck finding yours!

I adore caprese salad, so have been looking forward to making this. I’ve finally sourced some really sweet, tasty tomatoes so I’ll be making this very soon, although like you I can’t find shiso. Will hit Chinatown this weekend for some (hilarious about the weed!)

Bel,
I think the recipe will work just as well with just red cherry tomatoes! Don’t let my OCD get to you too!

JB,
Don’t worry, I’ve decided to get over the linear thing…I think! But don’t slam frozen corn! I love it!

I so want to try this recipe, but will have to try and find some decent colourful tomatoes, maybe from some remote growers’ market. Can’t wait! PS: I was too ‘chicken’ to click on your gross link :P

I understand that you’re set on cooking through the book in a linear fashion, but it’s a shame that you are making dishes that call for summer ingredients in the dead of winter. No wonder you had such a hard time finding cherry tomatoes in various colors! And using frozen corn for the roasted sweet summer corn? For shame. There are plenty of wintry recipes in that book to keep you busy until the thaw…

Ed,
Thanks, the salad was fresh in a bowl! Yeah, the hair happens and the restaurant made it all better. Sometimes it’s good to have these incidents so that they can wow you with their excellent customer service. They say it makes a customer for life when you go the extra mile to fix a mistake! I just thought it was a funny story :)

The dish looks beautiful.
The hair inciden was unfortunate but stuff happens. I am glad to see that the restaurant did the right thing.
