Spring is finally here, and there’s no better way to welcome the blossoming season than with our most popular spring recipes.
Instead of rich, slow-cooked meals, the warmer weather calls for quick, easy spring dinner recipes such as our Vietnamese rice paper rolls served with fresh herbs, Hellenika’s chicken souvlaki and fresh spring salads using seasonal spring vegetables. Vibrant side dishes, like Tony Tan’s roti canai, Dan Hong’s towering crisp eggplant and a crisp potato bake with barrel-aged feta, are also on high rotation during spring.
But really, it’s cakes and other baked delights that are most popular when spring has sprung, using the bounty of fresh spring produce the season brings. From our untraditional (but mighty tasty) Portuguese tarts dripping in burnt honey to Flour and Stone’s lemon dream cake to our ever-popular recipe fro Eton mess with strawberries, these spring-ready desserts and sweet treats are the perfect finale to any spring dinner party or picnic.
