These are so addictive. Alone charred sugar snap peas are delicious - super sweet, crunchy, and salty, and I love them with this Thai-style peanut sauce. A wonderful dish to truly celebrate spring.

Rhubarb is such a welcome sign that the dark days of winter are finally coming to a close and spring is beginning to emerge.

Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar depending on how sweet you enjoy your desserts. Personally, I also swap out the all-purpose flour for almond flour, making this dessert gluten-free - I still think it's delicious, and no one has ever complained.

I know this plant has earned itself a bad name due to its stinging quality, but in spring, this is my most treasured wild harvest, the one I look forward to all dark and cold winter long. It’s super nutritious and delicious to boot! If you cannot find access to nettles, do not fear, you are welcome to substitute with spinach or any other dark leafy green.

Garlicky yum that comes together in a flash. This dish cooks in under two minutes. It’s fantastic over a bed of rice with a fried egg.

A light and fresh dish to the delight of any spring table.

While carrots can be roasted or poached, sauteed or boiled, cooked rather in any which way, grilled has always been one of my favorites. Maybe because it is so unexpected while utterly delicious. Try serving this salad with grilled shrimp and spicy Thai dressing, or add to a nice bed of mixed greens topped with thick slices of steak and blue cheese. It is completely versatile.

Pesto, to me, is one of the most versatile sauces. Wait, is it a sauce? Or is it a dip? I actually don’t know what I would classify it as, other than a combination of ingredients that have the possibility to be simply delicious. As controversial as it may be, basil pesto, while very good, is not my favorite. Have dried tomatoes? Make dried tomato pesto. Garlic scapes, stinging nettle, or in this case, pea sprouts… give it a try.

I remember as a little girl sitting in the sink helping my mother shell peas. It is one of my favorite memories. Fresh peas from the garden are nothing like the gross green things that come from a can. Still to this day, if I have a bunch of peas to shell I will sit upon the counter with my back against the cabinets and my feet in the sink shelling these little green globes of deliciousness. It is one of my happiest places.

Spring means acacia trees heavy with their beautiful blossoms. Delicate, beautiful, and the flowers are completely edible. This is a meal where nothing can be done ahead of time. The flowers are best picked right before you plan to fry them and they must be eaten almost immediately after cooking. It is a very fulfilling afternoon activity - to head out to harvest the flowers and head straight back to the kitchen and get frying. Though nothing can be done ahead of time, everything comes together very quickly and you will be eating these finger-licking good treats in no time.
