As the sun begins to shine more brightly and the grey days of winter trail away, the arrival of a new season—and a long weekend—is upon us. That’s reason enough to celebrate, right? We let retro pastel colours and brightly flavoured dishes take the lead for this vibrant springtime menu, with a showstopper ham, a perfectly simple soup, a risotto loaded with this season’s best ingredients, and modern appetizer toasts. Many of the dishes are flexible, so you can customize to your and your guests’ preferences—flexitarian, kosher, plant-based and vegan—this menu aims to please everyone.
