The Treasures of Spring make for a bountiful feast. Fresh spring lamb is a classic for spring celebrations and gatherings. Try a whole rack of lamb or a boneless leg from our wonderful domestic rancher. Or perhaps you prefer the more familiar taste of pork? Then you simply must try a Berkshire Pork Rack. Whole grain Pommery mustard from France is a perfect accompaniment to both lamb and pork. No spring feast would be complete without the short-seasoned and much celebrated fresh spring ramps, fiddlehead ferns and morel mushrooms. (If morels are not available I recommend fresh cultivated Maitake-Hen of the Woods–mushrooms.) Don’t forget a high-quality vinegar like Minus 8 ice wine vinegar for finishing! Some toasted Sardinian pasta (Fregula) makes for a wonderful and unique side dish. Add some asparagus or tender green beans and carrots from your garden (or your local market) which are delicious drizzled with Minus 8 vinegar and serve some fresh fruit for dessert.

So pick some beautiful spring flowers for the  table, invite your family and friends and celebrate the Treasures of Spring–al fresco!
