This salad speaks freshness. Crisp asparagus is coupled with tangy lemon and salty parmesan and toasted breadcrumbs to make people ask for seconds and thirds. I originally had a version of this salad in Aosta, Italy and have recreated it in my kitchen by taste.

This is my favorite recipe for capturing the freshness of baby bok choy. The meaty shiitakes are coated with a savory ginger, garlic, and sesame glaze that has a bit of spice.

This salad is crisp, tart, and sweet in all the right ways. Lime and tamarind bring the tartness; the asparagus and pistachios bring sweetness and crunch.

Dutch babies are a perfect treat for any meal. This savory version brings a bit of spice with the nutty flavor of Parmigiano-Reggiano. And then there is the butter! Yum.
