Welcome to Splendid Table Selects, our mini-podcast where we feature great discussions about the joy of making and sharing good food. This episode of Selects features an appetizing conversation with The New York Times food writer and cookbook author Melissa Clark about cooking from the bounty of vegetables and herbs available in the springtime. She talks with Managing Producer Sally Swift about the recipes for three wonderful dishes: Green-Poached Eggs with Spinach and Chives, Crushed New Potatoes and Pea Salad with Mustard Seed Dressing, and Shaved Zucchini and Avocado Salad with Green Goddess Dressing.

Thanks to our presenting sponsor Bob's Red Mill featuring both Red and Golden Bulgur. Use their quick-cooking whole grain in Melissa Clark's bonus recipe for Bulgur "Pilaf" with Swiss Chard and Dried Apricots.
