What I Bought:

Savoy
Cabbage and Radicchio On the drive home
from the market, I heard an interview with a chef on
the KCRW radio show "Good Food," and he
was raving about savoy cabbage, and how the large,
relatively loose leaves are ideal for making stuffed
cabbage. So with this head of savoy, I tried my hand
at stuffed cabbage. The chef was right. Those
large leaves come right off.
Price: $2/head of cabbage;
$1.50/head of radicchio

Strawberries,
Blood Oranges
Both of these fruits will be at their peak in
California markets only for another month or six
weeks. Time to stock up.
Price: $6/3-pack of
strawberries; $3/bag of blood oranges
