The very short asparagus season is in full swing at the moment. This delicious vegetable (or is it a herb?) has a very short season of between 6 and 8 weeks.

Most years I make elderflower champagne, and sometimes it is good; more often it is explosive and very, very dry! The recipe I use is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s from River Cottage…

The elderflower season is pretty short, and elderflower cordial is an easy recipe to allow you to savour the great elderflower aroma later in the year.

Everything seems to be early this year, and the Elder bushes coming in to bloom are no exception! Elderflowers have a glorious aromatic quality and make great cordials, sorbets and champagne

Now that English strawberries are starting to appear in the supermarkets and grocers, it is time to make my favourite Muffins!
