Orange & Herb Roasted Steak - rosemary, orange zest, and garlicky bread crumbs envelop the tender medium rare flank steak, We'll serve it sliced thin with amazing little rounds of compound butter to melt onto each delicious serving.

Risotto with Spring Vegetables - The best that spring has to offer in one fabulous risotto. Peas, asparagus, and pesto make this dish a gorgeous spring green-something we're all ready to see at the end of winter.

Springtime Salad -Bright and colorful, dressed with a creamy bagna cauda dressing that's usually reserved for dipping crudites. You'll find some grilled garlic croutons and some boiled eggs with their pretty yellow yolks that all add depth to this wonderful salad.
