This is a great use up for day all bread, making the most of some of the season’s most lovely produce; Isle of Wight tomatoes and wonderfully ripe peaches. It’s colourful and goes brilliantly with grilled BBQ meats. Make sure you find the best tomatoes and that the peaches are perfectly ripe.

A classic combination of dill and seasonal baby cucumbers. Once opened keep in the fridge and serve with fish, meat or chicken.

If you don’t have an abundance of fresh berries to hand, use mixed frozen berries instead; the bags often contain a good amount of varieties. Redcurrants and blackcurrants are high in pectin, which will help this jam set naturally. So make sure there is a good quantity of currants in the mix.

Wild Garlic or Ramsons grow in abundance in shaded British woodland and can be found as early as mid January. You can treat these highly fragrant leaves much the same as spinach, so can be used in salads or added to simple soups. The leaves give way to flowers in mid Spring and the flowers are delicious used is salads or as a garnish to soup or grilled meat. We have adapted our gratin recipe to celebrate this early season wild treasure.
