Another knockout NYT recipe from Melissa Clark. “With a poundcake-like texture and zippy lemon flavor, this tender treat is loaded with grated citrus zest and topped with a sweet, mellow coconut frosting.”
Cannoli Dip
Even better than a cannoli in my opinion. The lemon shines through in this dip that is less sweet than your average bakery cannoli. The anise flavor in the pizzelle is the perfect complement.
Easy Chocolate Cake
Super simple, super delicious go-to cake from NYT.
Hygge (“hooga”) Hooch
This Aquavit inspired cocktail was created for a friend’s viking themed birthday party.
Lemon Lavender Gin Fizz
Perfectly refreshing tipple for a beautiful Spring day.
Sunset on the Porch Mocktail
A dear friend of mine, Charles, dubbed this mocktail “Sunset on the Porch” after I concocted it on a beautiful, Spring evening and served it to him to enjoy with conversation with good friends on the front porch around sunset in New England.
Lemon Lavender Scones
Very similar to the lemon rosemary scones I often make
Roasted Hakurei, Radishes, and Asparagus with Ramps, Grilled Halloumi, and Micro Greens
Light and delicious meal or side dish with some of my favorite springtime veggies. Omit the halloumi or sub tofu for a vegan version.
Ramp Cheddar Scones
One of my favorite savory pastries to make during the spring ramp season with a pungent local cheddar cheese.
Lemon Ricotta Cake
Rich, creamy, simple Italian ricotta cheesecake.
