I’ve been working REALLY HARD on this for months. I’ve never worked with smalti on this scale before and the learning curve was significant.

Angie and Chris enjoyed the house specialty: fish fried in a delicate, crispy golden batter with the usual accoutrements: fresh radishes, salsa, slices of avocado, and crema on a corn tortilla. Ryan turned to me and said,Continue reading “Baja Style Veggie Tacos”
