Kamla sits down to talk Lisa Newman, who is the author of 'For the Love of Apricots' (2018). The book is an interesting combination of recipes and history of Silicon Valley when it was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight and famous for its fruit orchards. The original recipes in the book feature apricots as their center piece. Newman shares that growing up in Saratoga they had fruit trees like apricots and prunes, but today those orchards have disappeared and made way for homes and office parks. Newman brings an interesting perspective to the conversation since she works as a city planner in Marin county that is located north of San Francisco.
