Enjoy asparagus recipes from around the world. Each one has been tested by me and comes highly recommended. And I'm still looking for more!

• Asparagus soup
  
  Making soup from asparagus is one of those things most people will shy away from. It seems too complicated - so let's cheat a little!
• Asparagus With Ginger
  
  Asparagus recipes are usually about steaming or boiling. This method takes a little more effort but the result is worth it and makes for an unusual side dish. It will also give you a bit of excercise
• Asparagus With Lemon Butter
  
  Lemon butter is one of my favorite ways of saucing a dish. Here I offer a quick and easy method of using it with asparagus, and as an added bonus the whole thing is cooked in the microwave.
• Asparagus With Paper Bark Hollandaise
  
  In this recipe Aussie chef Benjamin Christie has added Paperbark Smoke Oil to a basic hollandaise sauce for a subtle smokey flavour. It’s great served with freshly steamed asparagus
• Asparagus With Tarragon
  
  Microwaves were probably invented just to cook asparagus. Certainly they do an excellent job of it. Here I’ve added a tarragon flavored cream.
• Asparagus With Yogurt
  
  This is an Eastern European asparagus dish, and there’s a very good chance that the yogurt was originally made from yak’s milk. I wish you luck in trying to reproduce that!
• Steamed Asparagus
  
  Steamed asparagus retains its color and practically all its nutirents. Once cooked its ready to use in fresh salads, pasta and even as a pizza topping. Of course you can also eat it as an appetizer
• Stir Fried Asparagus
  
  Asparagus lends itself quite well to being stir fried and makes a good accompanying dish to a meal based on Asian flavors. The sesame seeds add a bit of character, which you can further enhance by using a few drops of sesame oil in the cooking process
