What a great time of the year for lots of gentle flavours. It is almost corny, but sea fish with salads and herbs is June on a plate. A lot of those iron rich leaves are at their best now, adding both crunch and strong taste to the plate. A lot of the freshly available veg is subtle and very good for steaming or stir fry such as new potatoes, broccoli, courgettes and carrots.

Cherries are at their best and the blossom has dropped. One of the first signs of their appearance is the sudden arrival of red bird poo everywhere there are cherry trees. Perfect combination is woodpigeon with cherry sauce, both in peak condition. Very little other game is in season or available.

If fish is your thing, sea fish are at their best. As always, try and source sustainably and locally.
