Depending on who you ask, a spring gathering can mean many things. Maybe you\u2019re hosting a big event, like Easter brunch or a Passover seder, for the first time and need to plan a full menu for a crowd. Perhaps a casual weekend picnic in the park is more your speed, complete with lots of snacks, dips, and drinks. Regardless of the seasonal soir\u00e9e you\u2019re planning, our community of Resident experts\u2014from baking pro Erin McDowell to expert chef Lucas Sin\u2014has you covered. Here are some of our favorite warm-weather-ready recipes from our Residents that are just waiting for a spot on your next dinner table, paper plate, or picnic blanket.<\/p>\n
The Secret Sauce<\/em><\/a> with Dan Pelosi<\/a> (aka GrossyPelosi<\/a>) is all about discovering the key to beloved family recipes. It\u2019s no surprise that his own recipes are an extension of those sensibilities, whether he\u2019s whipping up a sponge cake inspired by the one his grandma made every summer, or his mom\u2019s Portuguese rice flavored with sausage and aromatics.<\/p>\n Where would we be without our Resident Baking BFF? Erin has taught us everything we need to know about baking, like how to tackle towering layer cakes, seasonal fruit pies, and all sorts of savory pastries. Needless to say, her extensive backlog<\/a> of Food52 recipes is filled with plenty of options for every type of spring gathering.<\/p>\n With warmer weather approaching, you may find yourself wanting to sip on something tart, bubbly, or otherwise refreshing. John deBary<\/a> is our go-to Resident for all things drinks, whether you\u2019re sipping a cocktail, mocktail, or simple iced tea.<\/p>\n Kristen Miglore\u2019s<\/a> quest to find the world\u2019s smartest, most Genius recipes has resulted in an impressively vast collection of dishes. There are plenty for get-togethers big and small, informal or fancy-schmancy.<\/p>\n Chef Lucas Sin<\/a> is a certified kitchen pro, and his technique-driven approach has changed the way we make everything from (seemingly) simple egg sandwiches to stir-fried greens.<\/p>\n Mandy Lee\u2019s<\/a> showstopping creations are great for any occasion, but they\u2019re particularly well-suited for when you\u2019d like to impress a family member or two. Here\u2019s an idea: Wow your brunch guests with Miso and Brown Butter Hollandaise poured over jammy poached eggs, followed by warm Puffy Pillow Beignets for dessert.<\/p>\n Melina Hammer\u2019s<\/a> seasonally inspired dishes are a natural fit for spring, when all we want to do is cook with the freshest fruits and vegetables. Pair asparagus and fava beans with a rich tonnato sauce, or celebrate the arrival of berry season with her Blueberry Skillet Galette.<\/p>\n Rick Mart\u00ednez\u2019s<\/a> video series is called Sweet Heat<\/em><\/a> for a reason\u2014he loves all things (you guessed it) sweet and spicy, and the flavor combo truly shines in his recipes. From icebox cakes and other nostalgic favorites to unexpected twists on classic Mexican dishes, we\u2019ll be reaching for these recipes through spring and well into summer.<\/p>\n
