etiolate (n. etiolation)
To alter the natural development of a plant by excluding sunlight, often resulting in pale or bleached foliage. Etiolation is one method of layering for propagation; the shaded parts turn white or cream and develop no leaves. Also known as ‘blanching’.
I first knew I needed a kitchen in Paris the first day I walked through Rue Mouffetard’s open air market. I showed you one of the butchers already. I’ve highlighted cheese. But the first thing that brought it home? Etiolated vegetables.
