I genuinely learned so much from putting this blog post together, and helpfully you’ll learn things from reading it, as well. How I’ve organised things is as follows: all produce under each month is in abundant supply (and therefore should be cheap). This means it doesn’t have to be imported from far away, but might not come from the Netherlands. In bold under each month is the produce grown in North-West Europe, ie locally. As a monthly blog feature, we’ll be sharing a seasonal recipe from now onwards.
