Newsletters are great. Whether it's from the Food Network, your favourite chef, or from a cooking club, they provide great recipes on a regular basis.

This morning I received a newsletter from A Taste Of Thai, a wonderful brand of Thai ingredients and meals, and the featured recipe was Curried Lamb Stir-Fry with Asparagus. Though I'm not a fan of traditional Indian-style curries, I do love Southeast Asian curries, and the red curry used in this recipe is no exception.

Check the recipe out on the Taste of Thai website.

Green Pasta
Serves 2

What's your favourite weeknight meal? Do you, like me, often rely on pasta for a quick dinner?

Food tastes is best when it’s grown close to home. Local produce, meat, and dairy products: they’re all tastiest at their freshest, and you can always tell the difference between fresh and not so fresh food.

What is your favourite local food? Do you determine your meals based on what is in season?

Here’s a rundown on what’s fresh and in season in Canada right now:

Fruits: Apples, gooseberries, strawberries, rhubarb.

Veggies: Asparagus, cabbage, greens (Mustard! Arugula! Dandelion! Radicchio! Swiss chard! Sorrel! Oh my!), green onions, sprouts, green peas, baby beets, radishes, broccoli, and daikon.

As you can see, there still aren’t too many fruits in season, but for now, let’s enjoy the beautiful green veggies and remember that the berries and stone fruits will be ready in no time!
