With a proliferation of greens and shellfish in season, the focus is now on light and healthy eating. Think of it as nature's way of encouraging that 'perfect beach body' - just in time for the summer that never comes!
From the coast we have the first of the marsh samphire, razor clams and freshwater crayfish (if you didn't try them last year, mind your fingers!) as well as whelks, cockles and winkles.
From our farms, globe artichokes are ready to pick (tender and beautiful, they will please the aesthetes as well as the gourmet), while spinach (both organic and non-organic) returns after a brief gap in the crop.
There is an abundance of organic lettuces on Gill Wing Farm. They are available at a reduced price this week - lollo rosso, lollo blondo and little gem all £1.29.
With continued heavy rain in the South East our new potatoes are proving particularly tricky to harvest (the soil is like porridge); fingers crossed we will have some for the weekend. Likewise, our calabrese has taken a bit of a battering under it's insulating fleece.
Shokoh returns this week, making the most of our seasonal produce to make: elderflower & apple compote, citrus chicken casserole, Iranian chicken salad, beetroot salad, carrot cake and of course her famous Swedish meatballs.
And finally, after a great response to our free Monday night delivery, we are continuing the offer for the next four weeks. Please try the service and let us know what you think.
