A little sunshine in the kitchen
Make space for berries and green vegetables. A shared pudding or a simple vegetable dish is a lovely way to enjoy early summer.

A little inspiration for eating with the seasons. These foods are usually in season in the UK this month, although timing can vary with the weather and where they’re grown.
You might spot some at the Community Fridge, too. What’s available changes with the donations we receive.
Seasonal produce checked against the National Trust’s seasonal food guide.
