Recipe and story from Smitten Kitchen (one of the top food blogs out there) Inspired by the Union Square Cafe This is such a fun way to celebrate the first asparagus of the season you bring home. And yes, I just reread that sentence and am fully aware that the concept of “celebrating asparagus” would have made me roll my eyes a few years ago, like maybe I’d been burning too much patchouli. But when you start trying to eat along [...]
This is an absolute beautiful short movie about a family shopping for ingredients and assembling a fresh and simple salad. All videos are suppose to have their corresponding recipe but we are going to make a few exceptions.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings 2 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, [...]
