In her wonderful book The Flavour Thesaurus (a must for any keen cook), Niki Segnit suggests pairing asparagus with black truffle. Its a delightful combination. The slightly sulphurous tang of cooked asparagus works so well with the musky, earthy truffle taste. I can buy truffle butter for a...

This is an easy recipe to make that is both colorful and full of flavor. I make this dish frequently in spring and summer. We had eaten prosciutto wrapped asparagus appetizers at a few restaurants and it was always pretty good, but it seemed like it was missing something. The addition of...

I saw an asparagus soup recipe that used Dijon mustard, so I gave it a try here. I’m not sure I’d use it again; the taste is good, but the mustard stomps on the asparagus flavor a bit. But, I will definitely use a bagel in a soup recipe again. It definitely thickens up the soup, even if it...

This is very simple to make. I reckon when you have a such a delicious ingredient as burrata, it doesn’t need complicating. The strawberries in black rice vinegar provide a sweet and slightly malty tang which contrasts well with the creamy cheese. Ingredients are approximate depending on the...

Hi all - New to this forum and thought I’d make this my first post. The pasta does not have an overwhelming Matcha flavor and is very subtle. Tossed with the Brown Butter sauce and a dollop of Ricotta and Red Pepper flakes, it really hits the tastebuds for me. Recipe is below under the...

Grilled cheese corn tortilla (instead of toast), with asparagus and ramps inside. You can see them peaking out! What are ramps? Ramps are not just a way into a venue, that you need to climb, descend, or use roller skates for. They are veggies in the allium family. Their scientific name is...

The asparagus season has just started here. Do you like asparagus? The sweet, nutty almost sulphurous taste of fresh asparagus is so wonderful with buttery sauces and eggs. I know that white forced asparagus is popular in France (and I believe, Scandinavia). I've never been certan if it is...

White Asparagus grow underground covered with sheets without ever seeing the light of the sun, that’s why they are white. They have a slightly bitter taste, longer and more fibrous compared to their more common green brothers althought they cook in the same way too. The thicker spears take a...
