Thanks. I had some ravioli stuffed with them at Nougatine and have been wanting to try cooking with them myself. Thanks for doing this blog by the way, it is now the main food blog I read. I hope the updates keep coming regularly.

You know, that’s a good question. I have only ever seen them at Union Square, but I actually haven’t looked for them elsewhere. You might try Garden of Eden or someplace like that?

Where could one buy Pea greens/shoots? I assume Union Square, but is there any other place around the city?

Thanks, Christa! Wow, your peas look absolutely gorgeous! I had intended to plant some in our garden this year, but I somehow completely spaced it when ordering my seeds. I’ll have to be content to just buy them in quantity at the Greenmarket while they are in season and try for home-grown next year.

That risotto looks delicious. I’ve been enjoying fresh peas from my garden. They are far better than the frozen ones, for sure!

Terry, I have the same problem… which is why I always make sure to get plenty.

Jennifer, I am a brand new convert to fresh peas, thanks to my bride. My problem wouldn’t be the tedium of shelling them—it would be not eating them raw as I did so. Sweet and crisp and so unlike shriveled frozen peas.
