Spring Recipes
About
Spring is the most exciting time of year for me besides fall mushroom season, and it's all about the rebirth of wild leafy greens and edible perennial vegetables I grow. Onions about, ramps are everywhere, and near the end, a few mushrooms will start to appear in May.
What you'll find here are recipes that represent the Midwest using seasonal, local and wild ingredients like ramps, morels, and lots of leafy greens. There's a few hundred recipes, and you'll want to be familiar with the following:
