March, April, May
Spring marks the transition from winter to summer. The days are longer and the nights are shorter. For me spring means blossoms on the trees, bees dancing around and newborn lambs on the hills. Spring excites me, as the new season produce is inspirational; lighter dishes take pride of place on our menus.
