Brocolli


This brocolli is so good it's probably best served as simply as possible. This is heated in a bit of olive oil for about two minutes served with parmesan.

Purple Sprouting Risotto



It’s broccoli season at last. This purple sprouting stuff took a whole year to grow but blimey it’s worth it. We ate this about 40 minutes after picking it and it was so fresh. There’s a kind of unique bitterness that is completely untraceable when you buy it from a shop and it takes about two minutes to cook.
