DECEMBER CROP

Radicchio

Typically found in bagged salad mixes, this purple veggie is the star of many

Italian dishes and has a bitter taste that mellows nicely with cooking

It was the middle of May, but Christmas was in

full swing in the fictional town of Grandon Falls (FYI,

they used ice from local fish markets to turn the

Canadian back lot into a winter wonderland). I was

bundled up and ready to make my debut as a tree-

lighting spectator in the Hallmark Channel movie

Christmas Town. Though things moved at record

speed (most Hallmark Channel movies are filmed in

just 15 days), I was pleasantly surprised to find the

set just as cheery and loving as I’d hoped. Maybe

that — and the editing effect used to give all the

movies the same twinkly glow — is what makes them

so magical. —Amanda Garrity, associate lifestyle editor

That’s me!
