A Simple Sharer of Asparagus with Butter and Lemon

These are outrageously delicious. Serve warm as an hors d’oeuvre.

This is the style of pork that you see hanging from the windows of Cantonese restaurants.

A Cake for Easter

Inspired by the ricotta tarts made in Naples at Easter.

Roast Haunch of Venison with Roast Vegetables
