We have much to celebrate with new produce this month!
The first of our English strawberries have arrived from Oaklands Fruit Farm in Cropthorne Worcestershire, so we’re turning them into Eton mess, piped with Chantilly cream and dollops of meringue.
We've also added Devon Rope Grown Mussels to the menu. The mussels are from the River Exe in Devon and are cultivated by hanging ropes in the water, where mussels attach themselves. It's eco-friendly as the mussels are less likely to pick up grit or barnacles and the ropes create a habitat for other marine life, acting like a hanging coral reef.
We've had the most glorious season with Wye Valley aspaagus, so take advantage for another week.

This blog post beautifully highlights the bounty of June! I spent a while on Babe AI Chat, and it even inspired me to think about how I can incorporate fresh ingredients like those delicious strawberries and mussels into my next meal. The focus on eco-friendly practices with the mussels is particularly commendable. I can’t wait to try the Eton mess recipe!
