As everything starts coming back to life again with the arrival of spring, our dishes get brighter, fresher and more colorful than ever, so it’s important (and delicious) to take advantage of the season’s bounty. Produce like asparagus (in all varieties), snow beans, artichokes, peaches, strawberries, mango, spinach, fava beans, zucchini, honeydew, morel mushrooms, pineapple, amongst many others, are at their best, so just imagine all the wonders you can make in the kitchen. Additionally, Lent recipes are also very fresh and light as they involve a lot of fish, so combine those two together and what do you get? The perfect spring menu!
