Eating Seasonally

9/3/2017

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.

    Hi, I'm Robinne (pronounced Robyn/Robin but spelled strangely - ask my mum!) I love cooking and especially bringing people together through cooking and sharing food they have created together. I really love teaching people to cook. Obviously I like to eat good food - no poncy overly complicated food, just food that tastes amazing and is honest! I run two businesses - Food@Work (corporate team building through cooking - see www.foodatwork.co.uk) and uFoodie (cookery courses, private foodie events and a bit of catering - see ufoodie.co.uk). I have a very lovely hubby, two fab kids and the cutest pooch. We live in "Norf" London!
