Miles Thompson is the executive chef at Allumette in Echo Park. He and Serena Herrick, Allumette's bar manager, are shopping for late winter and early spring vegetables this week.
Eric Swannon works with Flora Bella Farms where chef Thompson purchases some of his flowering herbs and greens. Flora Bella is also bringing some wild greens, including miner's lettuce, chickweed and stinging nettles, to the market this time of year.
