Summer is a flavour. This writer can’t push herself to think of seasons without their produce, and smell. While winters arrive with the scent of the flowers of Saptaparni; summers come on the heels of small, pinkish mango flowers. The fruit — in different varieties and at different stages of its life cycle — keeps us company through the hot months. And casually, leaves us with redolent memories. The tasting session at Soam today will look into the versatility of the fruit, while spotlighting the memories they leave us with.
