I can't really tell you where they came from. All I'll say is that I may or may not have smuggled them from Provence. I may or may not have loved them so much in the restaurant garden that I worked in, that I may or may not have dried the seeds on the windowsil of…

(There's cream inside!) I've discovered that to get a truly unbiased opinion on a recipe, it is best to set it in the…
