Elegant Easter

Asparagus, spring onion, and morel mushroom sauté

Sweet asparagus and spring onions go so well with the woodsy flavor of morels. All you need is a bit of butter and some crème fraîche to finish the dish.

Oven-roasted potatoes and carrots with thyme

Tender spring-dug potatoes and carrots need very little fussing over. Simply roast them and toss with thyme and butter for an easy side dish.

Coconut tartlets with poached pineapple and mascarpone cream

Refreshing and bright, with the tropical flair of pineapple and coconut, these little tarts are a fun departure from the usual spring desserts. Even better, most of the elements can be prepared a day ahead, then assembled just before serving.
