What’s on the Menu this Month?
May is a great time to be a foodie – summer is well and truly on its way, with warmer weather meaning all kind of tasty treats are on the menu. The asparagus season is short, so eat this juicy, sweet vegetable while you can – it was a delicacy in Greek and Roman times, and still tastes pretty good today. Mackerel is a robust, healthy and sustainable way to enjoy fish, so you can tuck in with a clear conscience. And who doesn’t love strawberries? Whether you make them into jam to savour all year, whip up a fancy cheesecake or just serve them with sugar and lashings of cream, your tastebuds will be in for a treat. Read on for our guide to making the most of May’s bounty.
