Spring Garden in May
May 2, 2025
This menu feels like a spring garden in full bloom—where tender greens, bright roots, and bursts of citrus flourish together. At the heart of Chef Ali’s May recipe collection is a deep love for herbs: not as an afterthought, but as the main event. Dill, basil, cilantro, and chives weave their way through creamy sauces, vibrant dressings, and fragrant marinades, giving each bite a sense of freshness and renewal. From rhubarb muffins kissed with elderflower to lentil-studded rainbow bowls and citrusy cabbage skewers, these recipes celebrate May’s peak produce—honoring the season’s first harvests with vibrant flavor and thoughtful pairings.
