In Season Fresh Fruit

May’s fresh fruits

The British strawberry is back this month, and not many things embody summer like it. Plump, fragrant, beautifully sweet, these berries are perfect enjoyed raw by the handful or with a drizzle of cream, cooked into jam, or tumbled over all sorts of cakes and puddings

Fresh and fragrant

A herb that works equally well in savoury and sweet dishes. Enjoy simply steeped in hot water as a refreshing herbal tea, chop into grain-based salads or use to make homemade mint sauce to serve with lamb. Add a sprig to your drink for a fragrant touch – it's essential in a classic mojito and a pitcher of Pimm’s

Summer star

It’s during this month that the wonder of the British strawberry, plump and fragrant, begins to tell its tale. Whether raw or lightly stewed, strawberries pair well with rich flavours and textures. Cream is a time-honoured partner but a syrupy balsamic vinegar is equally satisfying
