Food flings

What comes to mind when outside your window is just an endless palette of greys and whites…the trees being slightly darker than the sky, which is every so slightly darker than the snow (that would be the clean snow, of course)?

I can’t lie: first and foremost on my mind is sun and a serious jump above the zero mark on the thermometer. Yet, dreaming of a change of season (and almost, of landscape, in our Canadian case!), also means dreaming of a whole new répertoire of recipes…ones that include ingredients that evoke spring, and, gosh, do I dare say it…summer! This eternal winter of winters has got me craving such things as:

• juicy, red tomatoes
• the sweetest of spring greens and salads
• herbs growing like weeds
• lemonade
• and ice cream (or better yet, gelato) cones that melt faster than you can lick them.

Oh…will it ever be here!
