Wondering what’s great to buy in terms of food this spring? Here’s the answer, well answers to be more specific! Although developments in farming methods have made all kinds of produce available year round, there is nothing better than cooking with food that is in season naturally at that specific time of year. I feel it is important that we understand where our food comes from and when it is best to eat it.
There is something really great about being in touch with nature rather than blindly relying on those well tidied supermarket aisles as a guide. An appreciation of the food we eat makes it taste than much sweeter, I think.
Now this is just a rough guide to what is great this season, if I discover anything else to add to the list I will put it up as an aside to a new recipe/post.
After much research I have made a list of foods that are great to eat in spring, just as nature intended! No recipes here I’m afraid. This time I’ll leave it up to your own creativity to see what you can make! I love making lists so here’s a few to get your creative juices flowing.
