As I'm writing this today in Toronto, the weather is acting more like fall than spring, but who can complain when the first fresh spring vegetables of the season are arriving at your green grocers? Although you can get pretty much any vegetable anytime of the year, I think that there are some vegetables that you should really eat when they are naturally in season. It was odd to see 'fresh- corn on the cob yesterday at my supermarket. To me corn is late august and it signals the end of summer and that the school year is just around the corner.
One of my favorite spring vegetables is asparagus. This is the right time to eat them when they are beautifully sweet and tender. All you need to do is steam them gently and serve them drizzled with your best olive oil.
And I'd like to say thanks to everyone for your e-mails and good wishes about our twins. Emma and Giorgia are doing very well and growing. Nina and I feel very blessed to have two healthy beautiful baby girls. Who would have thought 3am feedings and diaper changes would be so much fun!!
A presto! |
