Hello my friends,

The transition from winter to spring is palpable - in the soil and in our kitchen. Trees and scrubs that seemed barren just a few weeks ago are now beginning to swell where their buds meet the stem, reading to launch into the productive season ahead. Seeds are sown, bright green sprouts have emerged, and even the bird song seems brighter and more joyful. I understand.

What’s ahead for you this spring? Perhaps a new garden that will provide entertainment (and frustration, ha) in the months to come? Perhaps a new hobby that you’re eager to try over the warmer months? Perhaps an emerging friendship that you’re intent on growing? Perhaps a desire to freshen up your eating habits and provide your body with better nourishment?

Stuart and I were married on the first day of spring sixteen years ago. Even back then, before I understood the value of the changing seasons in the way I do now, it felt like a beginning. The fresh start of something new - an event and launch into something worth celebrating. This is a time when we give thanks for the “daily bread” of wild asparagus, the warming soil, the beginnings of bright dandelion greens and blossoming wild plums.

Here, we’re intentionally making life precious and wonderful. We are cultivating the beautiful life - not because everything is beautiful, but because there is beauty everywhere. Even in our menus.

Each of our printable menus will cover 10-days worth of seasonal meals. Many of the recipes are linked to newsletters, blog posts, or YouTube videos, as applicable.

Also worth noting, every Cooking Community member also gets access to our menus over on our app. Over in our Cooking Community, we offer 5 new recipes each month, along with instructional cooking videos for each one and an exclusive, private online social community of home-cooks.

This month in the Cooking Community, we’re focusing on a beautiful late-winter feast! Look good? Join in!
