DOROTHY LANE MARKET

You just have to stop and listen to really know what's abuzz in the food world. What's in season? What's tickling the curiosity of chefs? And what's delicious right now? I had the pleasure of being involved with a conversation like that recently with all of the bril-liant directors here at DLM, whom I greatly admire and respect. They make DLM shine in so many ways, including forming valuable relationships with pas-sionate food and drink purveyors near and far. They aren't afraid to stop and smell the roses (or taste that latest French cheese, in some cases).

We were thinking about May and the food, drink, and even flowers that are sure signs that spring has finally arrived in all its glory. As we dreamed about the local strawberry bounty, wild salmon, and brilliant blooms of May, our minds swirled with the color pink—also the color of rosé—and all its glory.

LOCAL STRAWBERRY SENSATION"There's something about local strawberries that just makes me smile," says Michelle Mayhew, Produce Director at Dorothy Lane Market. We're excited this year to feature the bounty of new Love Local friends, the VanMeter family. Their strawberry farm is located on 100 rolling acres in Clarkson, KY, and is a labor of love for the whole family. "Danny and Trish want to teach their children values of hard work, so they are all involved with collecting the fruit of their labor," says Michelle, noting that Danny is a member of the Strawberry Grower's Associa-tion of Kentucky and the Ohio Valley.

ALASKA COPPER RIVER WILD KING SALMON MAKES ITS SPLASHWe anticipate Alaska Copper River Wild King Salm-on—one of the most sought-after salmons—to make its splash later this month, depending on fishing conditions in Alaska. "I’m Coming Home' is the tune played by Mother Nature beckoning the return of the fish to the headwaters of their birth," says Jack Grid-ley, VP of Meat & Seafood. Its prized flavor is attrib-uted to the high Omega-3 oil content as the fish build up fat to give them energy to travel the long spawning journey up the Copper River.

FLEUR TO ADORE"I look forward to this month all year, as it starts with the arrival of pink Italian Heather in early May—one of my personal favorites," says Stuart Delk, Floral & Plant Director. As the month continues, splashy blooms continue to fill our stores and are timed perfectly with Mother's Day. And then, just when you think it couldn't get much better, our locally grown bouquet season will start to show itself. It's easy to see why there's so much fleur to adore!

ROSÉ ALL MAY"It's like springtime in a bottle," Todd Templin, VP of Beer, Wine, & The Cheese Shop, has been known to say of the sure as the sun arrival of rosé to our stores each spring. We look forward to its bright fruits, crisp acids, and generally dry finish. The mere mention of rosé, aka the pink wine, elicits many smiles. To really kick your rosé knowledge up a notch, register for the Rosé All Day class at the DLM Culinary Center May 2!

AND EVERYTHING ELSE Pink THAT WE LOVE FROM STRAWBERRIES AND SALMON TO PINK BLOOMS AND CUPCAKES, TOO!

HEY, HEY! Rosé

For me, spring has officially arrived when I can fling open the kitchen window and invite the balmy air to swirl, reminding me of the pleasures of the garden, lazy evenings on the porch swing, birdsong in the morning, and signs of life refreshing itself. One of the first things I do to mark the new season is to establish my potted herbs in a sunny window.

I always choose organically grown herbs, like the Organic Potted Herbs we carry in the Floral Department. I think the organic herbs taste better and I like that they're ethically grown and nutritionally sound. Two basil plants are a must because I love fresh pesto and it's so easy to make. In addition, we'll also have mint, chives, parsley, thyme, and oregano.

While I'm admittedly a casual cook, I seldom prepare a dish in the spring that doesn’t include at least one herb from my window garden. When the honeydew melons are ripe, I pluck a stem of mint, strip the leaves, slice in strips, and sprinkle over a wedge of melon. The fruit is cold and sweet making the mint a refreshing counterpoint. The experience of preparing this also is pure pleasure as the act of stripping the mint releases its es-sential oils, adding an artful dimension to an ordinary morning.

Flavored vinegars are a cinch to make with fresh herbs, even for the modest cook. Pour two cups of white wine vinegar in a clean jar, add ½ cup of assorted fresh herbs, shake well, and set the jar in a cool, dry place for ten days. Strain the mixture through a cheese cloth into a clean jar and cap tightly. The herb vinegar should keep for about six months at room temperature, ready to jazz up a variety of dishes!

But why stop at the kitchen door? The use of fresh herbs is limited only by the imagination. Tired tootsies? A friend of mine makes a tea with a handful of basil leaves, pours it in a basin, and soaks her feet. Basil contains a natural anti-inflammatory that will ease aches while the aroma soothes the senses. Mosquitoes a bother? Rub enough thyme between your palms to release the essential oils—the scent acts as a natural repellent. Most importantly, don’t wait for a recipe or a remedy to enjoy your fresh herbs. Pluck a leaf from the nearest plant as you go about your day, bruise be-tween your fingers. Then breathe. Relax. Appreciate.

Culinary HerbsThousands of fresh lobsters make their way to DLM for Lobstermania each year the Saturday before Me-morial Day, May 26! Friends make plans to queue up in line before the sale officially starts, and what could be just another line is a ritual of its own. The energy is one to behold as folks eagerly await the makings of the most delicious feast, which will inevitably set the stage for the good times to continue throughout the weekend.

Sure there's the fact that we think the world of our lobstering friends at Ready Seafood who come all the way from Maine for Lobstermania every year, an annual tradition at DLM now for

more than 40 years and counting. Their mission is to share their love of fresh, succulent lobster and spread the word about sustainably caught lobster and why the practices of each fishery is important.

But truth be told, the DLM community has made this tradition one that sticks as we hear countless stories of friends and neighbors making a party out of their lobster feast. Family members trek from near and far to all be together with lobster at the table. It's become apparent that this treasure from the sea is meant to be shared. Lobstermania sale starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 26, and once they're gone, they're gone!

The Tale of These LobstersThe Ready brothers fell in love with lobstering at a young age and the local lobstermen were their he-roes. They took their childhood obsession and grew it into a thriving business! They're passionate about educating people on how hard-working lobstermen work toward a common goal of making it a sustain-able industry. We're lucky to have our lobstering friends from Ready Seafood visit us every year dur-ing Lobstermania!

Share the Lobster LoveAs you gather around for a Lobstermania feast, share your experience with us! Tag DLM on Insta-gram, Facebook, or Twitter and use the hashtag #DLMLobstermania. It'll be quite the splash!

New! Cheesy Cheddar Biscuits Once you grab fresh lobster, you've gotta snag some of our newly debuting Cheesy Cheddar Biscuits. The DLM Bakery is joining the Lobstermania party prep by creating these melt-in-your mouth morsels that'll be a perfect pair with your lobster feast.

Calling All Home Cooks

Ask any celebrity chef where they learned how to cook. The answer is almost always in their mother or grand-mother’s kitchen. Standing on a kitchen stool next to my mom while she made dinner is still one of the best memories from childhood. Learning to cook by actually rolling up your sleeves makes all the difference. What better place than on your own kitchen counter? There, you can hear the stories, get to know the family tradi-tions, and learn by touch, taste, smell, and of course licking the spoon!

I love to watch all of the food-centric shows that also involve travel. Regardless of the many places they visit, including top Michelin restaurants, it’s quite often those visits to homes where dinner is cooked and served by a home cook that ends up being the highlight.

It’s no secret that here in Dayton there are plenty of talented home cooks who can rival celebrity chefs in both skill and authenticity. Interestingly, many celebrity chefs aren't really “chefs” at all. Dayton-based home cook Mary Cooney is a fan favorite instructor at the DLM Culinary Center. She grew up with her parents who emigrated from Italy after World War II. She shares her talent and passion for making pasta and beautiful pies often at the DLM Culinary Center. She is applauded for her down-to-earth demeanor and practical cooking tips that are easy to replicate at home.

Do you know any serious home cooks who would love to share their family traditions and culinary skills? We are on a new mission to elevate the home cook and would love to hear from you, whether your specialty is a delicacy from Greece, a curry from India, hand-rolled tamales, cookies from Hungary, or good ol' Midwestern food. Con-tact us at Cooking@DorothyLane.com to tell us your story and why you'd like to be the next home cook teaching at the DLM Culinary Center.
