Linder champions the art of homemade sauces, from the velvety richness of mayonnaise, adaptable with fresh herbs or a kick of chili, to the classic elegance of hollandaise, a perfect partner for asparagus and new potatoes alike. He also introduces international flavors, like the nutty, creamy tarator and the vibrant, roasted romesco, a Spanish classic that brings warmth and depth to any dish.

A velvety homemade mayonnaise makes a big difference. It is so much richer and softer than the store-bought ones.

For those seeking a modern twist, Linder features a "hot honey" recipe, a trendy sweet and spicy concoction ideal for grilled vegetables or as a glaze. This selection underscores DN's commitment to inspiring our readers in the kitchen, offering practical yet sophisticated ways to enjoy the season's bounty. It's about more than just recipes; it's about fostering a deeper appreciation for food and the craft of cooking.

Hollandaise is mayonnaise's warm relative, can be varied just as much, and is just as suitable for primroses.
