Milk-Fed Veal Chops, Tender Young Vegetables with Spring Garlic

Cooking is generosity. Food has much more flavor when it is shared happily with others. The keys to really enjoying food are a beautiful, set table with friends around it and lively conversation. Here is a hearty but regal dish that one would be proud to serve to guests. I love these kinds of dishes because they embody the real reasons for a meal: friendship and conviviality.
