What's in season: April

Cauliflowers

Crisp and fresh-flavoured, cauliflower can simply be broken raw into salads. It's excellent when lightly steamed or stir-fried, but should never be overcooked as it'll go grey and tasteless.

Lamb

Young spring lambs produce pale, tender meat with a delicate flavour and a fine layer of fat. Less robust than most lamb, be careful not to overpower the subtle taste with too many herbs.

Lettuce

The base of great garden salads, lettuces come in a staggering variety of shapes and sizes. Adding colour and crunch to the salad bowl, lettuce leaves are best when as young and fresh as possible.
