The aromas from this curry will fill your house and brighten a winter day. Pan-roasting the cauliflower separately and adding to the pan just before serving is the key.

Nothing says spring quite like asparagus. We are lucky to have a local farm 15 minutes from the winery with asparagus that has been cut that morning. The pesto in this pasta can be tossed with other vegetables as well, making it very versatile and a nice change from basil pesto. This recipe is for 2, but can easily be doubled.

I served this salad at our Behind the Cellar Door event last March and everyone wanted the recipe. You can cook the white beans yourself or use good quality can beans, rinsed well and drained. This salad is great for a picnic or lunch on the patio with a cold glass of rosé.
