“A bouquet of asparagus sparked Renée Kohlman ‘s new cookbook, Vegetables: A Love Story (TouchWood Editions, 2021). Instead of flowers on their first date, her now-partner Dixon Simpkins gave her a bundle of spears secured with twine — freshly harvested from his 20-acre family farm east of Saskatoon.”
