Seasonal Food & Recipes

It’s the time of year for hearty, warm, filling dishes. Yet, we can still eat healthily and seasonally while enjoying yourself. Here are some of our favourite seasonal recipes to get you through the coming darker days.

It’s important to try and eat seasonally as the foods are going to be fresher and in turn more nutritionally rich.

For Northern Europe the produce in season are the following: Apples, Artichokes, Beetroot, Broccoli, Butternut Squash, Cabbages, Calabrese, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celeriac, Celery, Chard, Courgettes, Endive, Fennel, French & Kidney Beans, Grapes, Iceberg Lettuce, Jerusalem Artichokes, Kale, Kohlrabi, Leeks, Lettuce, Little Gem Lettuce, Marrows, Mushrooms, Onion, Parsnips, Pears, Peas, Plums, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Quince, Radishes, Rocket, Runner Beans, Savoy Cabbage, Salsify and Scorzonera, Spring Greens, Swedes, Sweetcorn, Tomatoes, Turnips, White Cabbage and Watercress.
 

FOR A SNACK…
