February has been full of swirling snowstorms, ice-slick roads and tumbling temperatures.
Right about now, many conscious cooks begin to pine for the warmth and radiance of summer sunshine. When frigid days and nights are pervasive, a bit of brilliant color and joyous flavor will help defrost and regenerate the system.
Citrus fruits are a beautifully natural ingredient that will rev up the winter table with generous juiciness and vibrant, vivacious hues.
Cara Cara oranges have a particular beauty that cooks can incorporate into their winter meals. A navel orange, the Cara Cara variety was supposedly discovered in the mid 1970s at Hacienda Cara Cara in Venezuela.
