    I used to be one of those people who was afraid to even turn on a gas grill, let alone mess with charcoal. That changed quickly about 20 years ago, when I landed a freelance assignment writing grilling guides for a now-defunct women’s lifestyle site. Luckily, the premise was "grilling for beginners"—a very of-its-time, blatantly heteronormative "Yes, women can grill too!" kind of thing—so I could funnel all my trial-by-fire learning directly into the job.

    In my experience, there's what restaurants say is "in season" and then there's what's actually in season. Since I go to the farmers market at least once a week in NYC, where I live, I know when the restaurants are lying. I can't blame them: Early spring can be bleak, especially in the upper reaches of the country. All you want is something that's fresh and vibrant (maybe not a root), and it's just not there yet.
