Knowing a fruit or veg's natural growing season is integral. When something is in season, it is available in abundance, and tasting its best. Produce acquired out-of-season has more than likely needed more human intervention and pesticides to grow, as its cultivation has been at an unnatural time of year.
Seasonality has unfortunately lost its priority due to the strength of supermarket sourcing teams, and the improvement of transport networks around the world. Whilst this enables us to enjoy our favourite fruits and vegetables all year round, being mindful of the best seasons for certain products can be so worth it. Eating in season can deliver vast difference in flavour and more peace of mind that the air/ocean miles it took to get to you are at their fewest possible.
Each month, I will use my pick of the season to create an exciting menu for my guests to enjoy.
Take a look below and see some sample menus for a taste of what's on offer here at 'source. cook. eat.', you will notice that each month the menu has a theme which runs through the entire meal, this gives me the chance to show you flavours and combinations you might not have seen before with the best produce of the season.
