Seasonality - Winter - February

February picture

Leeks are the nation’s winter savour, so versatile and intrinsic to many recipes. When combined with other strong flavours such as dry cured bacon and a good strong cheddar, then served with a rustic bread they make a cheap and tasty winter supper.

Alternatively a real winter warmer is a combination of chunky root vegetables for roasting alongside a good piece of local beef, include parsnip, carrot and swede for a medley of colours and flavours.

Finish off with the last of the English dessert apples such as Egremont Russet, and Ashmead’s Kernel or a Comice pear.
