What's in Season?

March

March
The days are getting longer and hopefully the weather better too... look out for locally grown vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, spring onions and leeks at our markets, farm shops and road side stalls. Fruit includes delicious early ‘forced' rhubarb. Whilst on the coast, pick up cockles and oysters for a seafood smorgasbord at home.

April

April
Spring is in the air - and it brings a host of new flavours to enjoy. Tender joints and cuts of lamb are great for a Sunday roast - maybe sprinkled with sprigs of aromatic rosemary. Look out also for spinach and watercress. Enjoy a pot of locally caught cockles at the fishing town of
Leigh-on-Sea - with salt, pepper and vinegar by the side.

May

May
A great English delicacy - the East of England is one of the main areas for the cultivation of asparagus. Buy the sweet and tender spears from the end of April to June. Enjoy them lightly steamed or boiled and covered in butter. On the coast, you can also pick ‘the asparagus of the sea' - the samphire, with its crisp texture and salty flavour.
