Spring

March 1 – May 31

Spring brings tender produce and lighter cooking. Markets fill with asparagus, peas, fava beans, leeks, radishes, artichokes, and early strawberries and rhubarb, while herbs and eggs take center stage. Swap long braises for quick sautés, steams, and blanched vegetables dressed with lemon and olive oil. Think frittatas, risotti, brothy soups, and simply poached fish; serve lamb roasted or grilled with mint and garlic. Add soft herbs at the end for freshness, and shock greens to keep their color. Shop weekly for the most delicate picks and cook them soon after harvest.
