What's in Season - June
I'm really pleased to announce a collaboration with Eat the Seasons to bring you information on what is at its best each month.
Many of us may not be aware what is in season and when, we see the same fruit and vegetables available all year around in the supermarkets, but out of season many will be imported and expensive. Eating in season means you support your local farmers and producers and also experience the food when it is at its best and cheapest!
Seasonality doesn't just apply to vegetables and fruit, but also to meat, herbs and fish too.
We're now entering the bountiful season, summer, there are lots of fruit, herbs and vegetables available, so make the most of it.
