In Season Fruit & Vegetables

Eat in season

What’s delicious in July

This is a month of bounty and generosity. With so many fruits and vegetables at their flavour-packed, colourful best, we are spoilt for choice. Ripe stone fruit, spinach, celery and blueberries make ideal bases for vibrant salads, easy summer tarts and fragrant puddings

Love it or hate it?

This polarising vegetable boasts a green, earthy flavour. Soups, stews and slow-cooked dishes benefit greatly from the character and backbone offered by celery. When raw and thinly sliced, its refreshing crunch is delicious in a punchy salad. Try blanching, stewing and roasting to mellow the flavour and provide a comforting softness

Sensational stone fruits

When peaches and nectarines are at the peak of ripeness, they are nothing short of sublime. Wonderful just as they are, both fruits are also magical cooked down into a soft puree to be used in a zingy summer spritzer or stirred through a savoury salad to introduce delicate sweetness

Leafy greens

The best approach to cooking spinach is to wilt the leaves down in a large, dry pan, then squeeze out any liquid before combining with extra virgin olive oil or butter and seasoning. Raw leaves give a satisfying dimension to salads and smoothies, or whizz into a herby pesto with olive oil and Parmesan
