April’s Best Seasonal Produce

Asparagus

The shop is already overflowing with asparagus this month and the UK’s season has started early thanks to a warm March: you find purple, white Italian, English, baby, wild and more. Roast in the oven and sprinkling lemon juice and freshly grated parmesan over the top or char and serve with smoked salmon.

Morel mushrooms

Much like truffles, morels only grow in the wild. With a short season (March-June) and delicate nature due to their hollow middles, no wonder they are a darling of farmer’s markets. Toss into a delicate, creamy white wine sauce and pour over chicken.

Radishes

Peppery crisp & crunchy, try different varieties of radishes from French Breakfast, Mirabeau or Plum Purple. Or a white Daikon, longer like a carrot and more mild in flavour.

Fun fact: UK growers harvest over half a billion radishes between April and October. We enjoy them as the Belgians do in a “tartine”: sliced over fromage blanc on a slice of sourdough with fresh black pepper cracked on top.

Watercress

This close cousin of mustard bursts with nutrition, including iron, calcium and vitamins A, C and E. Sprinkle on your morning omlette for a satisfying, fresh crunch.

Also in season: Cauliflower, Grapefruit, Lemons, Mint, Rocket, Rhubarb, Spinach, Spring Greens

 

WE’RE STARTING AN IN-STORE REFURB

We have some VERY exciting projects coming in 2024 starting with: doubling the size of our kitchens.

This will mean no hot meals or warm lunches, if you visit us in store, for a few weeks beginning on Monday, March 25th. Our terraced seating will remain open for coffees, cakes & bakes. You can still order bagels, sandwiches & salads inside at the deli to eat outside. And we hope to be back up and running for hot meals (and soon MORE) in a few weeks.
