Elevate Your Cooking Game with a Living Herb Wall
As I navigate my day, one thing remains constant: my obsession with food. Gone are the days of bland, store-bought lunches and hasty deli orders. With the pandemic, I’ve found myself cooking up a storm at home. And I’m not alone! A recent visit to my friend Seri’s kitchen, where she whips up meals while juggling work and family responsibilities, got me thinking. Her sun-drenched kitchen is the perfect haven for a culinary experiment.
