I just returned from Montalcino where the glorious spring produce is starting to appear at the village market on Friday. Outside the weather was unseasonably chilly yet inside my little kitchen, spring had sprung thanks to my market haul 🥳 - crunchy fresh fava beans, sweet little 'carciofina' (baby artichokes), tender spring asparagus, and sweet, sweet strawberries from southern Italy.
Now back in the States (sigh), company was coming for dinner, and I needed to find a dessert that was simple and unfussy…….
Your blog feels like a hug from my relatives who have passed. It brings me much joy.
