The Back Story
More: Asparagus appears in the earliest known cookbook, Apicius’s third century AD De re coquinaria, Book III and throughout history has been used as a vegetable and natural medicine. Asparagus has a mild flavor and has diuretic properties. Only the tender young growth is eaten. These are the facts. Now, it's time for the debate: which is the best way to serve asparagus? Boiled, steamed, in stir fry or in soup? And your favorite toppings are nothing, butter, Hollandaise sauce, olive oil and parmesan cheese, lemon juice, or mayonnaise?
