springtime

From Hailee Catalano's latest cookbook, “By Heart: Recipes to Hold Near and Dear,” this springtime sundae is “reminiscent of a cozy crumble or crisp but with a bit more lightness.”

“We also do a couple variations on springtime risottos and fold in steamed asparagus and chopped watercress at the last minute.”

“You can use them if you’re making a springtime minestrone soup, or you can use them in lieu of chickpeas. They make a really good purée and dip for plating.”

But don’t stash those springtime sweaters away quite yet because cooler weather is right around the corner.

For me, springtime means taking road trips to document the wildflower fields through Southern California.
