Asparagus have just burst into season and it’s our intention to eat as many as possible over the next few weeks… Tarragon is a fantastic herb with both fresh crabmeat and asparagus, but dill, parsley and/or chives would all be brilliant too.

This dish is a mash up of a few summer classics… Coronation chicken, potato salad, and a prawn cocktail! If you were to muddle the above - elegantly, mind you - you’d arrive at this beauty.

A simple, speedy recipe we’ve written in honour of British Tomato Fortnight to celebrate the start of the British tomato season 2021. It’s vegan, seasonal and outrageously tasty. Enjoy!

Now some would argue that pairing bold flavours with the creme-de-la-creme of seasonal vegetables - is sacrilege, and we hear that. However…
