A Special Spring Dinner

Spring brings a host of special occasions to celebrate with family and friends. Some gatherings will be casual, but others may call for a special dinner worthy of a distinctive occasion.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we're preparing a spring dinner apropos for any number of special occasions ahead. On the menu, we have Slow-Roasted Filet of Beef with Basil Parmesan Mayonnaise, Hasselback Potatoes, Green Beans Gremolata, and a sweet ending of Carrot Cake with Ginger Mascarpone Frosting. The flavors are fresh, the cooking easy, and the tastes sublime.
