Seasonal - Seasonal food

What's in season: July

Aubergines

Gorgeous, glossy aubergines, or eggplant, are at their best when grilled or fried. Choose the plumpest, most unblemished ones you can find whatever the colour - whether deep purple, pea green or striped.

Raspberries

The Scottish summer helps produce some of the best raspberries in the world - make the most of these temptingly sweet, ripe berries during their short-lived season.

Courgettes

Seek out pert, smooth-skinned courgettes, then fry or grill to taste at their best. Their subtle flavour lends itself to stronger flavours such as garlic or chilli.
