Gjelina Group Goes to the Market: Piel de Sapo

"When the thick wave of aroma of muskmelon hits your nose, you know that’s where you stop."

By Euni Park 

Melons in California are an entry into another realm. One I grew up perceiving I knew all there was to know. The varieties available to us from the Santa Monica and Hollywood farmers markets are extensive enough to bring home a new variety every single week during season. Before moving from New York, I truly didn’t realize I’d be so taken back by these sweet jewels of nature.
