Just a random assortment of some of my favorite ingredients so far this year…

homemade ricotta

 

about to be candied lemon peel

 

candied lemon peel
(this went on top of a lemon tart with bourbon maple syrup)

 

the perfect spring pizza toppings

 

fresh from that morning’s farmers market
(asparagus, garlic greens, fresh ladysmith cheese on a baguette)

 

sea salt, lime juice & zest and dark, dark chocolate
(yup, these are going into a dark chocolate batch of brownies)
