Hot, Hot, Hot !!!
Although the rain arrived the other day with downpours like we were in the Amazon, unfortunatley it wasn’t enough to feed all the land that has been starved of water for so long.
It's still a tad tricky for local crops that are trying to grow, it's not all gloomy though as this week brings some new flavours into our kitchens.
There Is no point hanging your eyes at this intro for too long lets become inspired and find out whats most radical this coming week.
Extra Large White Garlic **In Stock**
New season white skinned garlic is arriving and making us hold our breath as its totally magnificent in fact it's so beautiful it will make your toes twitch with excitement.
These extra large bulbs of loose garlic hold a great flavour profile and just plucked straight from the baking hot sun the skins are equally useful.
Get them charred, sunk into bubbling duck fat, pureed, roasted, salted even dunked into pickling liquor.Cobnuts **Available Wednesday**
Oh, my word does this feel slightly early ???
The fresh hazelnut is the king of fresh nuts and with their early appearance if you like a bit of cracking action then now is the time to get involved.
Peel the husk back and crack open that shell to reveal that moist and versatile fresh nut.
As the nuts are young they can add excitement to anything they touch - get them used in your salads, tossed through your butter, even work great on your desserts.English Cherry **In Stock**
Fresh cherries have been around a few weeks now but if you are a real cherry addict you will have been waiting for the new UK season to arrive and its here with a **BANG**.
Oakchurch are the kings of cherry production in the UK and the fruit is bold, meaty and packed full of deep sweetness.
Be warned though the season isn’t going to be for long as cold temperatures during the blossom season has damaged volumes of fruit - so get involved now so you don’t miss out!!!.

Italy produces some awesome flavours throughout the year and when our red onion phone rang on Monday proclaiming that the new season white skinned fiery onions where on the route we all rejoiced.
These medium-sized beauties host an onion experience like nothing else. The skins are not yet set and still flaky but that’s not a bad thing as that glorious flavour is awesome.

The arrival of the watermelon radish back into the season is another reason to celebrate as the radiating colour from the trusty red inner meat is outstanding.
These along with the Cob Nut are pretty early - in fact around 1 month, but they here so we need to let you know of its existence.
Slice this cheeky fella down and show it that hot bubbling pickling liqueur to have an ingredient that will blow your guests minds.
