Although I cannot experience changing the seasons, it is just as acute to live in San Francisco, where our “cold” thought is 48 degrees, I am ready to discard the cozy sweaters and the ditch of winter roasts. In April, slightly warmer weather, later sunsets (thank you, summer time), and a new fruit of bright, lively spring vegetables in the farmers' market and grocery stores – each should be excited about more vegetarian food than I cured.
These recipes are fully taking advantage of season events – such as a Pasta Primavera that really shows spring vegetables such as sugar and English peas, wood beans and asparagus, as well as a spectacularly bright green shakshuka, with lots of fresh spinach and herbs. Most of these dinners come together for an hour, and some come together for up to 30 minutes, so you can have dinner on the table faster and sit for a tasteful, satisfactory meal at the end of a busy day.
