Pea Green with Envy?

With spring upon us I consulted my Zinio account to re-visit the October/November issue of Donna Hay magazine.  Because this is an Australian publication the seasons are reversed.  Donna Hay is one of my most favorite cookbook authors. I don't know what's more delicious about her publication and cookbook-- the recipes, or the photography. And, every recipe has a picture representing the dish! I love to know what the end result is supposed to look like.

With Spring rapidly approaching and my need to get back into entertaining I am going to make this Spring Pea Risotto. Risotto always throws me for a loop, all that stirring and wondering if the rice is actually going to ever soften. But I am seemingly up for the challenge.  I have found Acquerello carnaroli rice to be the best, most foolproof short grain rice.

Now that you've got dinner plans.....Here are are a few things I am loving in

SPRING PEA GREEN

My latest obsession (find out what it is on Pinterest!). This fabulous cutting board from Lostine.

Define your table with these cheerful placemats from Burrow & Hive.

Do a little spring cleaning and while you're at it, stock up on fresh linens from Jonathan Adler.

And last but not least....... Pouf. And everything is green again!
