Hazelnut Period ???

Name: Delifresh
Price range: $

Everyday we put aside a period of time which we call our hazelnut period. This creative thinking time is so we can energise our own minds and enable us to inspire many with our thoughts,

This week it sprung into our cells as we were deep in our hazelnut zone that every week at some point in the refresh we always type something about the weather!!!

It's either far to wet, unbelievably cold, coat above the head weather as we try and create human kites or unbelievably HOT.

It just goes to show that Mother Nature is in total control of the seasons and every day brings a new challenge for everything in the land which is trying to grow.

We must respect what the season has to offer and challenge our brains to utilise the flavours whilst they are at their peak.

Anyway less of the chatter, what’s amazing this coming week?

So Then | What’s Totally Radical ??

Northern Raspberries **In Stock**
The northern crop of Fresh raspberry has landed.

The berries are pert and laden with juice as they are so beautiful it’s crazy.

Grown by Richard Morrit, his inspirational raspberry crop will most definitely excite.

If the weather is kind we should see around 5 week’s of harvest from the northern canes. Embrace the most delicate fruit in the world - they taste outstanding.
Corn on The Cob **In Stock**
Those plump golden milk laden kernels are back as the new season Moroccan super sweet corn is here and packing some sweetness.

Just like anything the quicker you utilise the corn the best flavour you will obtain and for this reason the logistics involved in getting this crop of new season corn on the cob back to the UK as quick as possible is insane.

Peel back the husk and release the sweetness the plump and ultra-juicy sweetcorn is here for another period.
Bunched Watercress **In Stock**
New season French watercress has landed and those bold stalked large leaves are back for another season.

The French do a brilliant job and the flavour of their watercress is very difficult to beat.

If you are making soup, puree or wanting that traditional steak garnish you need to look at reigniting your bunched watercress thoughts as this leaf will not disappoint.

Northern Gooseberry **In Stock**
The time has arrived to pull your annual Gooseberry face as these tart & sharp little fellas are back for another fruitful season.

Richard Morrit has been nurturing his spikey fruit laden gooseberry bushes over winter with so much love and affection they have developed and decided to fruit about 2 weeks early - Wowza.

That tart flavour is here and needs to be investigated to its full as the options are endless. Dessert, savoury even pickled they lend themselves to many things, get involved while you can.
Bilberry **In Stock**
How exciting is this ???'

New season Bilberry is here for a very short snappy season. Bilberries are so flavoursome you will dream about that remarkable flavour memory for weeks to come.

There are many ways these delicate berries can be used but most simply use them in a pureed state to extract their rounded deep flavour.

Has anyone tried to pickle them, used in this way they can add some great excitement to many things
Kohl Rabi **In Stock**
Robert Tomlinson has done it again as his Kohl Rabi is ready to be harvested.

Often underused due to its weird appearance kohl rabi sometimes gets left behind. One thing you should not do is underestimate it’s potential as it adds fantastic texture and a great flavour to many things.

Why not try and slice thinly and cook like a Dauphionose with rosemary and orange as a great accompaniment to a meaty fish dish.

Rainbow Chard **In Stock**
If you are after some great colour to add to your dish then hunt no further as rainbow chard is on fire at the moment.

The chard leaves can be used like you would spinach and the stems used raw but equally can withstand some cooking, steamed, braised even perform well sunk into foaming butter.

Rainbow chard is here for the foreseeable so make sure you get involved.
