Spring is a season of rebirth and awakening. The rites of spring are celebrated Swedish-style with peppery nettle soup, the new lamb, the first baby beets. Sea bass is given a delicate Cantonese twist in a heady mix that includes delicate blanched spinach, while the freshest raw fish is served in Japanese sashimi. Desserts provide rich and comforting counterpoints - crème brûlée, sweet tarts and unctuous home-made ice-cream.
