What's in Season in Summer?
Through June and the very start of July, we have the wonderful English strawberry season. Think Wimbledon and strawberries and cream! These are my favourite strawberries of all. They are so sweet and juicy. Really they are a totally different ballgame to other strawberries you get flown in throughout the rest of the year so I try to avoid those and just gorge on the English ones when they're around.
Then of course we get all the wonderful summer fruit like delicious sweet cherries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, berries (raspberries, tayberries, blueberries, blackberries, gooseberries, loganberries - so many berries!) then moving on to plums, peaches and nectarines.
As for vegetables, the summer is a glorious time for veggies! We have courgettes (zucchinis), sweetcorn, peas, all kinds of beans (green beans, broad beans, runner beans), salad vegetables, potatoes, onions, cauliflower, cabbages and of course the all sorts of amazing juice tomatoes!
So go forth and enjoy these bounties in this wonderful season for fresh food!
