We're moving on to the yellow produce part of our journey. When I think of yellow fruits and vegetables, I immediately taste lemons.

For some colorful recipes using all of these yellow ingredients, keep reading.

Savory Sight: Delicieux at Ambiente

Now that you know how to cook the perfect steak, aren't you curious to see how this bovine beauty's made across the map?

Now that you know how to cook the perfect steak, aren't you curious to see how this bovine beauty's made across the map? Here, Julia Walsh shares how steak's done, the Frankfurt way.

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Ambiente design fair in Frankfurt, Germany, and as a journalist, I had full access to the Press Center there for the weekend. Aside from free wireless and happy hours with other international writers, my favorite part of the experience was lunch! The entrées at the Press Center were absolutely mouthwatering and I'm still dreaming of them. On my first day, I had this filet of beef with polenta and a wintry vegetable medley of bell peppers and zucchini. The little sprig of thyme was an adorable added touch!

Sunday Dinner: Beef and Scallion Rolls

Spring rolls aren't the only Asian roll-ups I'm enamored by; these pan-Asian beef and scallion bites are right up my alley, and they don't require any sort of special ingredients.

In this recipe, beef itself serves as the wrapper. To achieve paper-thin slices, freeze the sirloin for 20 minutes before cutting it with a sharp knife. Stuff the meat with sticks of stir-fried vegetables.

In a pinch, broccolini, carrot matchsticks, or any kind of bell pepper will do; be sure to secure with a toothpick. Interested in the recipe yet? Then keep reading.
