Ramp and Asparagus Soup

Food Trend: RAMPS!!! Ramps are early spring onions that are only available for 4 weeks starting in the end of April through the end of may. Their non-wilting leaves are similar to Leeks, and their stems are like a scallion. But the taste…it’s garlicky and oniony and my favorite spring produce. Inspiration: During ramp season, I […] more

Inspiration: My brother makes the most AMAZING sauteed fish dish, which we all call, Randy’s Fish Dish. He roasts garlic and caramelizes onions for an hour, and incorporates almost every fresh herb you can imagine, and a ton of butter. It is really so good. However I could never recreate this masterpiece, so I altered it […] more
