Veg Speak #11
We have had a good Winter as far as availability and quality is concerned, for most produce. Root vegetables are in abundance and at their best, as are leafy greens like kale and spinach. Oranges, apples, mandarins and rhubarb are still featuring heavily on menus, but stand quite well on their own, due to their freshness and sweet taste.
The colder weather has affected the size and consistency of herbs and Asian veg, but we are starting to see improvements. Green beans will be hard to source for the next few weeks, so if you can replace, we recommend doing so with sugar snaps, snow peas or asparagus.
