Fruit: “Rosy” apples, oranges, kiwi fruit, bananas, rhubarb,

Vegetables: salsify, red onions, carrots, beetroot, leafy salad, ramsons, kale, leaks, Savoy cabbage, Cosmos potatoes

The red onions and beetroot are always natural partners and married off as beetroot, feta and red onion salad, to be enjoyed with toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds in a warmed pitta as a tasty late supper. The cabbage and carrots’ destiny to become coleslaw. The salad and ramsons will accompany this and that, and even the kale gets the steam treatment as part of a roast Sunday lunch.  Only salsify is left to become this weeks culinary conundrum. 

Always a pleasure and never a chore to visit rhubarb-in-the-bag.

Fruit: bananas,kiwis,avocado,oranges,grapefruit,rhubarb

Vegetables: Romano potaotes, parsnips, carrots, red onions, artichoke, Tuscan kale, (the illusive) purple sprouting broccoli, oriental leafy salad, stir fry greens

Broccoli, purple spouting or otherwise, likes nothing better than becoming (cheese and) broccoli soup for the delectation of small people who are usually averse to greenery at mealtimes. The ‘do what it says on the tin’ stir fry greens become part of a stir fry.

The avocadoes are are just too good at the moment to do anything other than dine alone with, albeit with a dash of Balsamic.
