Dear fellow Members of
The Cottage Cooking Club:
I hope you enjoyed our April recipes - as Zosia so aptly pointed out this was a "
transitional month" - spring but not quite spring yet. Now that we are at the beginning of May and therefore into our thirteenth month of preparing recipes from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall´s “River Cottage Everyday Veg” we will be preparing recipes with some fresh spring produce.
PLEASE feel feel to substitute or add fresh, local spring vegetables to the recipes - for example the
Spinach spoufflé (don´t you just love that name) can also be prepared with other spring greens. The
Garlicky, minty mushy peas can be prepared with either fresh or frozen peas. Or add baby spinach or even rocket (arugula) to the
Pearl barley broth. Just a few ideas as I would love for you to get a bit creative this month.
Now onto the ten recipes for this month, our motto being "
