For our spring newsletter, we reached out to our long-time friend, Chef Andrea Carlson. As MICHELIN star Chef and Owner at Burdock & Co, Harvest Community Foods, and Bar Gobo, Chef Andrea Carlson’s love for the land surfaces in organic, seasonal plates influenced by B.C.’s diverse environments. Her signature style of cooking – delicate, earthy and vibrant – captures the essence of farm-to-table dining and is a tangible reminder of her lasting impact and leadership within the culinary community.
Chef Andrea’s vibrant pesto combines the seasonal spring brightness of asparagus with fragrant lemon and earthy almonds, along with a generous helping of parmesan. Serve it with pasta for a quick and uncomplicated weeknight dinner.
