…even if you don't end up falling for, say, the ramps with fried eggs or the polenta whirled with kale purée, you'll fall for the relatable, readable Bloomfield, who encourages fussiness only when picking the few fresh ingredients she asks you to seek out. To borrow a word from her, the whole package is "moreish." Translation for Yanks: You just want more.
