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

Pretty in purple

Blueberries have become an everyday favourite sprinkled over cereal or yogurt. A touch less tart than some berries, they benefit from the addition of a little acidity, such as lemon juice or zest, to make them sing. They may not seem the most obvious choice for savoury dishes, but try in a salad to add gentle sweetness and juicy texture
