| | A Celebration of the Seasons.
Eating in harmony with the seasons connects us to a healthy rhythm of life. Food tastes best, at its peak, in its season. Each new season has its produce strengths and so cooking with fresh seasonal produce, when the food is at its best, is simply common sense. Nature’s changing seasons allow us to vary our diet beautifully, gives us something to anticipate and savour.
Select fruits and vegetables firm to touch, well-shaped, rich in colour and smelling sweet and fresh.
So we look forward to mandarins in autumn, Fuji apples in winter, asparagus in spring and berries in summer - the seasons in which these foods are all at their peak. |
