You must think I’m crazy. Figs and cilantro? It’s true. We made a very unscientific study of the pairing last night at dinner, and it is absolutely true.

A huge thanks to Amanda Kwan with the Associated Press for including my Anthro-inspired tables in her article on ‘designer looks for big-box prices’! You can read it on the New York Times site, here and here. Did you wonder what Anthropologie thought of my take on their Curator Table? Well, Amanda asked them (yikes!) [...]
