What’s delicious in May
May breezes into the kitchen bringing with it the first tantalising flavours of early summer with luscious blackberries, sweet strawberries and fresh mint. You can also still enjoy the delights of Jersey Royals and British asparagus – they're both delicious simply served with salted butter or a drizzle of olive oil.
Asparagus
Spring chicken & asparagus traybake
Asparagus spears are added to the roasting tin for the last few minutes of cooking time in this recipe, which is light on washing up
Mint
Mint chocolate cheesecake
The classic pairing of mint and chocolate ice cream reinvented in cheesecake form
Jersey Royals
Jersey Royal curry
The gentle spices in this yogurt-based number are lifted by the slight sweetness of the potatoes to dreamy effect

The spears are here
The asparagus season is fleeting so savour its delicate sweetness while you can. Slice and serve raw in salads, or roast its slender spears before serving with salted butter or olive oil
Fresh and fragrant
Mint works equally well in savoury and sweet dishes. Enjoy steeped in hot water as a refreshing herbal tea, chop into grain-based salads or use it to make homemade mint sauce to serve with lamb. Add a sprig to your drink for a fragrant touch, particularly delicious in a classic mojito or a pitcher of Pimm’s
