Watercress "Cappuccino"

Pour the soup over the whipped cream at the table so guests can watch it foam to the surface (resembling the froth on a cappuccino coffee). This vibrant peppery soup is an impressive kickoff to a spring dinner party! 

Potato and Celery Root Gratin

Shredded Oka cheese tops this gratin. Celery root, or celeriac, is a knobbly, hairy root found in the produce section of most grocery stores. A sharp, flexible knife removes the peel easier than a vegetable peeler. Trim both ends of the celery root, then stand it on the flat end. Following the contour, cut downward to remove the skin.

Heirloom Carrot & Wheat Berry Salad

Wheat berries can take upward of 75 minutes to cook. Soak them overnight in water to help speed up the cooking time.

Pozole Chili

This chili takes the best flavours of a traditional Mexican soup of the same name and turns them into a hearty chili that sticks to your ribs and works great for leftovers. If you like it spicy, add extra jalapeños or use a spicier green salsa. Serve topped with sour cream, avocado and fresh cilantro. Stretch this chili even further by serving it over rice.

Tex-Mex Casserole With Monterey Jack
