Interview by Stacey Sage
Every year I look forward to asparagus season. For me, it’s the start of summer and having fresh Ontario-grown food readily available. As a minimalist, I keep things simple when it comes to preparing asparagus at home. A little salt, pepper and oil are all my spears need before hitting the grill. I also love to steam, blanche and add fresh, crisp asparagus to salads. It adds colour and all kinds of fresh, earthy flavour. Be sure to pick Ontario asparagus up this spring before it’s all gone, and don’t forget to thank your farmer.
