Well I am back, I have had a little bit of time off of blogging, as I have been concentrating on the new Cake business, but hopefully I will still have some time to write.
There is of course a vast list of fruit and vegetables that are in season. So what recipes can we make this month, that takes into consideration the seasonal produce?
Well we still have a lot of winter vegetables in season like beetroot, so why not a delicious Beetroot curry. Believe it or not, beetroot is great in a curry and you can pair this with a lentil curry, if you fancy a bit of a feast. Don’t forget beetroot is high in Iron, as well as Vitamin C, B6, Magnesium and Potassium, so mainly helps with energy levels.
Cucumbers are in season and as well as tossing through a salad are great in smoothies. They are also good for the dark circles under the eyes, if you have this kind of problem! They mainly contain water, so they are good at helping you keep hydrated and have fibre and vitamin k.
Purple sprouting broccoli is a great addition to stir fry’s, pasta and rice dishes, as well as tossed through salads and quinoa for a beautiful addition of colour. Rich in antioxidants of vitamin A and C. Helps with healthy vision and neurological functions, also helps with anti aging and a healthy glow.
Rhubarb which everyone loves, apart from a child reminder, that I got force fed it, because it grows easily and wild!! I like it now though, so it is obviously great in pies, or even cupcakes. Rhubarb has fantastic antioxidants, which have anti bacterial and anti inflammatory properties.
I hope this gives you some inspiration to cook and bake. I will be making some of these recipes and uploading onto my website shortly.
