It’s time for a roundup of fun Easter (and other spring) recipes to make and enjoy this season.

First, a few reminders:

Spring Baking Classes are available for April, with more to be announced later in April. Sign up today and learn to bake something new this season!

There are still slots left for the Youth Baking Camp this July, but they’re already going quick. Sign up today and get your budding baker in the kitchen this summer!

Finally, the big market season opens next week, huzzah! Catch me at the East Asheville Tailgate Market every Friday from April through November, at the Weaverville Tailgate Market every other Wednesday, and more area markets and festivals throughout the season. Get out there and support local farmers and businesses – we’re awesome!
