the japanese cherries at the end of the street.
some wild garlic (ramps, or ramson) is sitting on my kitchen counter. looking for ways to cook it, or use it raw. ideas so far: wild garlic pesto or risotto, wild garlic butter. possibly in a vinaigrette, to dress green asparagus with. what do you use it for?
it's madly snowing out there as i type. we also had some rain, some sun and quite a bit of hail today. what an entrance, april.
happy easter!
happy passover!

I just got a bunch of wild garlic at the farmers' market today and will try this recipe:

Usually I mix the minced leaves with curd to dip some fresh bread in it :)
beautiful!
happy easter!
love the last shot !
Beautiful photos!
In Scotland, we had temps of 23celcius last week - very high for Scotland in March. This week, they dropped to below freezing and it snowed. The saying is 'In like a lion' though. :)
Do you eat pasta? Saute the garlic in oil with a few mustard seeds, and mix through pasta. You could add a little lemon juice too.
These are really beautiful and you inspired me to get out and shoot some blossoms this past weekend.
spring has sprung!
that shot is simply lovely!
you can make a nice pesto out of wild garlic. just use an immersion blender to blend it with some chopped hazelnuts, olive oil, sea salt & pepper and parmesan or sprinz cheese. you can easily keep the pesto for a week or so.
Andrea Gentl has lots of great ideas for ramps on her beautiful blog http://www.hungryghostfoodandtravel.com/
Also, I made www.food52.com 's wild ramp pesto to toss a potato salad for Easter. I would suggest blanching the ramps rather than leaving them raw, and slightly reducing the ratio of walnuts and parmiggiano if you like the pesto to be light and very green...
Happy week, Kristina!
this is so beautoful, Kristina!
