Displaying Your Seasonal Fruit with Rajiv Surendra

you had me at "Displaying Your Seasonal Fruit with Rajiv Surendra"

Rajiv is one of my fantasy dinner guests from all time

Rajiv is what the universe shares with us mere mortals when it is showing off...

How sweet to use the same type of basket as your grandmother

The things you find to make videos about is amazing. The useful tidbits are what I like most.

I do the same desr. I love fruits and veggies. In US, $160B worth of food is wasted every year! When you keep your fruits and some veggies outside the fridge in a basket, they will be fine for 3-5 days as long as the inside temperature is around 65-70F. It will motivate you eat good food and finish them faster especially if you have kids/family instead of ending up in garbage! People keep in the fridge and they don't even know what's still left in the fridge before heading to the grocery store to buy some more. Thank you Rajiv for another wonderful and thoughtful video.

I love how you care about everything that comes into and is part of your home.

Rajiv, you are one of most favorite inspirations!

Rajiv's taste level is so high, he could make a Wendy's combo meal display look elegant

You know what Rajiv, I think you’ll fall in love with Japan when you go there. Your passion for tradition, handmade, beauty, the profound, and homemaking is very Japanese. It’s like the earnest heart of Japanese culture but in Western/Tamil/German culture. Only thing that the Japanese have a much deeper appreciation with the beauty of nature and its changing seasons.

A kindred spirit! With you all the way.

A Rajiv video demands my full attention. It cannot be watched passively because it is very visual. If you blink, you miss something. Like the reflection of his camerawoman in the glass or the interior layout of his apt. or his latest decorations (the bird under the glass, the human model, the painting, etc.) He's always showing strong imagery...Anyway, I'm often impressed by his technical vocab, like how the hell does he know the plates are called "pressed glass" or the fruit is "stone fruit." I know with Google you can find out anything, but I think in a past life Mr. Surendra was a mechanic of some sort

Oh wow! I literally just put 6 lemons in a glass bowl on my cup chart before sitting down and seeing this video 😊

You made my apartment a home, thank you

So lovely. I too enjoy celebrating the beauty of the every day things in our life, especially things from nature ❤

I can't stop smiling when I watch his videos. He has so much joy for life. It's infectious.

My favorite activity! I thankfully live in western mass and can get fresh food everywhere this time of year! I just ate the best cantaloupe this morning grown by Mennonites.

Rajiv, have we told you lately that we ❤❤❤ you?

I have a small garden and I display my daily harvests of peppers and tomatoes on a cake stand I picked up at a yard sale. I just sourced a dome for it to keep the fruit flies off of it, from Mosser Glass. At dinner time it's there, displayed so nicely, giving me ideas for dinner! I put the fruit out in a big handmade wooden bowl on the dining table, which is in a central high traffic area, which encourages my family to actually eat it. Some of my favorite art is still-lives of well arranged fruit. You can actually tell a story and even create some comical tension if you think of the fruit having different personalities. OK that might sound a bit crazy but it's fun! After your video about wicker, I found an incredible wicker bag, sort of a doctor's bag shape, at a local antique shop. It has a nice wide base and fits so much produce without crushing it. I get so many compliments and inquiries about it at the farmer's market. Thanks for opening my eyes to wicker!

Your home is so beautiful and you Rajiv, know how to live. Enjoy your fruits. ✌🏽
