This week we have a full range of brassicas on offer, with cauliflowers from Francis Sampson in Cornwall, some really nice Savoy cabbages from Duncan Gielty in Ormskirk, and January King and Tundra cabbages from Chapel Organics in Berswick. We are also very pleased to see the return of Purple Sprouting Broccoli, courtesy of Shillingford Farm in Dorset and Organic Pantry in Tadcaster. We love it pan-fried with olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes, if you like it hot.
Happy Shrove Tuesday! The berry season has fully started in Spain, and we have a good supply of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to top your pancakes, but if you want your pancakes really simple we also have some lovely Primofiore lemons from Sicily.
Finally, If you would like to freshen things up, despite the cold weather you can get yourself some lovely fennel bulbs, coming this week from France. They will add a nice zing to your meal, especially alongside the bitter leaves of the radicchio.
