uh...when's summer coming to this site? the greenmarket is beginning to brim!

One recipe left for testing! Nettle and Green Garlic Soup
 
Sagegreen May 20, 2011
Sorry our farmer's market doesn't offer nettles and I wish I had time to forage for some. If I could make it with just green garlic, I could volunteer...but nettles look pretty key. Hope somebody can.

Thanks for the EP! I'd love to try the Grilled Baby Fennel.
 
LucyS May 19, 2011
Is someone already testing the baby artichoke crostini? I have eight baby artichokes in my fridge waiting to be used!

Yes LucyS, but please feel free to try it out and leave your notes in the recipe's comments section!
