Spring

Ah, Spring. Time to slough off heavy stews, braises, and root vegetables, and usher in fresh lettuces, green greens, and early-season fruits. And spring also means Easter and Passover dishes. Our most popular Easter recipe by far is Italian Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary, while Nach Waxman’s Brisket holds the top spot for Passover. Of course, strawberries and blueberries are eaten by the pint, and you can’t go wrong with this amazing (and amazingly easy) Blueberry Crumble and this Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Ginger Crumb Topping. Flounder with Lemon Butter Sauce, Asparagus Tart, Chive Blossom Vinegar, and Rhubarb Vodka (don’t knock it till you’ve tried it) are among our most highly rated seasonal recipes.
