Seasonal cooking is what I’m fiercely passionate about; it is at the heart of everything I do, everything I write, everything I eat. Eating with the seasons allows us to reconnect with the cycles of nature and our food sources. It takes us back to basics, back to what it is all about: food at its most delicious.
There is such a rich diversity of fruits and vegetables available at different times of year. We should celebrate that it is still possible to reflect the rhythms of the natural world on our plates. I find the impermanence of seasonal ingredients appealing, too. The urgency to enjoy each fruit or vegetable at its best, before the season passes, acts as a reminder to savour each mouthful. It makes me feel grateful for what I am eating.
So, for both your ease, and mine, I’ve put together a simple guide to what’s coming into season, staying in season, and last to enjoy, so you can quickly see what’s at its best throughout the year.
