Elderberry Poached Pears
I love to forage as autumn arrives, it’s not just about finding free food, I feel a real connection with nature. Our ancestors foraged for almost all of their food, but this fell by the way side with the agricultural revolution. However in the last decade, foraging has made a big comeback. No longer a…

Chilled Spring Asparagus Soup
Asparagus is one of the better-known spring vegetables, although we only get to enjoy its short season for around seven to eight weeks. We welcome asparagus in late April and then the season ends in June. Take advantage while you can, I’d say! That’s why I’ve created this fresh spring-like recipe for you. We’re experiencing…
