For last week's Weekend Cook and Tell challenge we asked all of you to get inspired by spring vegetables and cook up a warm weather vegetable-centric dish. This was one of our most verdant Cook and Tells yet—let's take a look at some of our freshest responses.

tigerfish found an abundance of bok choy at the local farmers' market and was inspired to make this very springy stir-fry of bok choy, Napa cabbage, mushrooms, and carrots.

Rocquie used baby artichokes in this decadent deep-dish baby artichoke and sausage pizza.

snucci made an early spring doubleheader of grilled asparagus and baby artichokes with herbes de Provence.

Following the delicious artichoke trend ec_washington made a lighter version of artichoke dip.

For a self-proclaimed greens-phobic TheKitchenWitch did a stand-up job with stir-fried broccolini and baby bok choy.

knowwhey's Vermont backyard bunching onions made lovely quenelles to float in this gorgeous April carrot parsnip bisque.

Taking rhubarb out of its normally desserty context shinycooking mixed up a Mexican-inspired rhubarb salsa.

The first asparagus from the CSA was the inspiration for newRDcook's tortilla-crusted sweet sausage and asparagus quiche.

Katerina chimed in with a spring classic, asparagus, pea, and lemon risotto.

somaR's contribution was a quick and healthy tofu, peanut, onion, and broccoli stir-fry.
