SPRING
When the garden wakes from its winter slumber, dive into the delicate vegetables (sweet baby carrots, tender asparagus, and peas) and the sweet-tart fruits (berries, apricots, and rhubarb) of spring. A subtle touch is all you need.
SUMMER
Hot days bring a riot of colorful, refreshing produce. Fire up the grill to give fruits and vegetables a charred edge, pickle or glaze for a surprising contrast, or simply toss together and serve.
FALL AND WINTER
Cool-weather produce offers endless possibilities for comforting, veggie-focused dishes. We love roasted root vegetables and hearty stews, but don’t forget lighter fare like fresh apple salsa, citrus salad, and crispy kale and ricotta cakes.
HERBS
Fresh herbs infuse every dish with vibrant, “just picked” flavor. Shower them over seafood, steep in a pan sauce, or blend into fragrant pesto or dressing for a burst of freshness in every bite.
PICKLES AND PRESERVES
Enjoy the best of the season anytime with pickles, relishes, preserves, and curds. The pickled cucumber is cool, but why not try snappy green beans or even zucchini? Instead of sugary jams, savory chutneys and balanced preserves let the fruit shine.
