Celebrating Spring

20120416-213618.jpg

I always get excited when the spring ingredients start sprouting up. As we leave the long winter, we start seeing the most exciting ingredients (at least for me) of the year.

This dish is composed of: baked halibut with spring onions, spring garlic, fava beans, fiddlehead ferns, ramps, meyer lemon- tarragon aioli, and a bulls blood salad.

Not bad for a Monday night dinner.

Is It Spring?

Here in the Bay Area we have yet to have a winter and last night I was able to make a very Spring like meal. On the menu:

~Monterey Bay Squid Salad with Arugula, Cara Cara Orange, Fingerling Potatoes and Fennel
~Local Halibut with Hedgehog Mushrooms, English Peas and Spinach Ragout
