Rhubarb provides a subtle background flavour and adds a lovely pink hue to this grapefruit marmalade.
Kimchi is pickled fermented cabbage that's used as a spicy condiment for Korean food. Its hot and sour properties make it blend perfectly with crunchy carrots and cool cucumber. Pair this slaw with a bratwurst, or veggie or turkey sausage, then spoon the mayo over top.
These easy ribs have a wonderful sweet and smoky flavour. You can find black bean sauce and rice vinegar at Oriental food stores and some supermarkets. Serve with fresh corn and tomatoes.
Put spring on your table with cappelletti (stuffed hat-shaped pasta) and asparagus. Saffron in the dough adds colour and fragrance. In a pinch, use wonton wrappers instead of the homemade dough.
Fruit doesn't have to be boring. Brushing the summer's best with butter, bourbon and honey adds flavour and helps caramelize it when it's grilled. For best results, use fruit that is ripe but still firm so it holds its shape on the grill. Crème fraîche is rich and delicious, but Greek yogurt or sour cream are also good choices.
