There’s plenty of colour to enjoy in a winter kitchen. Bring together tender greens and hearty vegetables for a simple lunch or supper.
A few things to look out for in February

- Leeks
- Parsnips
- Kale

- Savoy cabbage
- Purple sprouting broccoli
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.
