Spring is a fickle season. One moment you’re basking in the sun, the next you’re bundling up in extra layers. It’s the same thing in the kitchen: we’re yearning to cook all those tender green vegetables and fresh delicate mushrooms before they’re really there. These recipes include plenty with frozen peas and baby root vegetables, that feel spring-like but that we can make right now. Plus those that use ALL of the season’s bounty a few weeks down the road.
