What a beautiful post, Giulia! Spring is my absolute favourite season for cooking, and everything you share here is the sort of thing I love to make, simple store cupboard or pantry ingredients livened up with the promise of fresh spring produce. I am so excited about the arrival of asparagus, I’ve just written about how much it means to me, and dragging the first poached spears through softened butter with black pepper yesterday was a total joy, it made me excited for everything to come. I haven’t managed to grow peas and broad beans since having my daughter, but this is on the horizon for next year. There’s nothing like eating them fresh from the pods.
I used to think my favourite season for cooking is summer, but this year spring has really conquered my heart with its asparagus and fava beans!
This year I planted for the first time B-road beans with Livia, my 2 year old daughter, and now every day we check how tall they are getting: very excited for the first broad beans we will pick together. Never tried with peas, but we will definitely plant them for the next year. I love how I am rediscovering all the fresh ingredients with fresh new eyes thanks to her enthusiasm
I have felt exactly the same way with regards to weaning my daughter! Her pure joy as she tries ingredients for the first time has really reignited my passion for so many simple foods. What a privilege! X
