Spring

March is sometimes called the ‘hungry gap’ because coming out of winter, not a lot has had chance to grow yet. However, there is still plenty to enjoy. The British asparagus season starts in April which also sees the start of the new potatoes. Brassicas such as cabbage and purple sprouting broccoli provide real colour along with radishes and spring onions. Spring is also a great time to enjoy oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and trout.

What’s in season?

Asparagus, purple sprouting broccoli, savoy cabbage, spring green cabbage, cauliflower, jersey royal new potatoes (April & May), kale, lettuce, raddish, spinach, spring onions

Everything you need is right here. Great seasonal family recipes. You can even change the number of servings so everything works perfectly for your family. Save money and reduce your food waste by searching by ingredient for recipe ideas on how to use those leftovers up.
