Seasonal recipes for June

Here’s where the magic happens – what to do with all this seasonal produce in your kitchen

Vegan Nicoise salad

This dish just says summer salad all over it. It’s zingy, satisfying and highlights the best fresh produce of the month.

Paella Roja 

There are many great ways to enjoy artichokes, but we love this recipe for Paella Roja – we think it sums up summer evenings perfectly.

Mushroom and ginger stirfry

At this time of year, we fill this recipe up with handfuls of fresh chard. If you grow it yourself then you’ll know that you can’t eat the stuff fast enough and this dish is an ideal way to make it taste great.

Black Forest gateau 

Because cake tastes great at any time of the year, why not load it up with seasonal cherries? We certainly will be.

All that’s left to do now is pick a recipe and get to your local market!
