Mediterranean food changes with the weather

Today we had the first day of fall rain here in Mallorca. After the blinding light of so many summer months, it is strange to accept such gray skies. It gets colder, nature's appearance changes, and with it the Mediterranean food menus that we put on our tables every day.

Mediterranean sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, and pumpkins begin to appear in the food markets. Last week I bought a bundle of wild spinach that was the best I had ever had. In Mallorca you can still find wild purple artichokes along the sides of countryside paths. They are the best. Yesterday I grilled some purple artichokes according to a traditional recipe from Mallorca. So simple, so perfectly Mediterranean!

There are lots of wild mushrooms this year. I prepared a sauteed mushroom recipe and took some pictures. It was fun as usual.
