The process is simple. After selecting your produce, immediately fill a sink (or suitable container) with fresh water, and allow the fruit and vegetables to soak for several hours.
In the summer months, when the produce is so fresh (and the kitchen is so hot), it's best to keep cooking to a minimum. We have plenty of recipes that require minimal heat... And some of our favorite pasta sauces-like tomato-peanut and miso pesto -involve no cooking at all.
