Light Meals and Weekend Treats from an English Woman in Berlin
It’s happened – I am officially more of a fan of the white asparagus than the green kind. There was me thinking that my love for bread and salami in the morning for breakfast, constant grilling of sausages in the summer months and my love for anything pickled had made me continental enough. But now I have joined the rest of Europe and fully welcoming the delicious spears of white asparagus. Not that I don’t enjoy green asparagus….
Ah, asparagus – I just can’t get enough of it! Spring is my favourite season, especially for food and fresh produce. The root vegetables have fallen out of season and instead we have new potatoes, crispy sweet lettuce and of course pungent, delicate asparagus! I do find comfort during the winter when parsnips, turnips and brussel sprouts start to make an appearance, but spring vegetables bring much more excitement! It is like a glimmer of hope that summer is just around the corner…
