We can get pretty much any ingredient we want, at any time.
uFoodie wants to promote the idea of cooking with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, available at specific times in the year in the UK.
Please use the information below (sourced from a fab website http://www.eattheseasons.co.uk) to help you know what ingredients to buy when in the UK. This list can also assist you ordering from restaurant menus because if you order seasonally, you can be sure the dish will taste amazing (assuming the chef knows what he is doing of course!)
You may be surprised not see things you always thought were British grown! many regular items we see on the supermarket shelves are never grown in the UK. or if they are, they production level is so small, we are not able to source.
