Local Food Directory | What's Good Now?

These tables are concise and only show what is in the peak season for each month. Each type of food will usually be available for around a month after it goes out of season.

Beef, poultry and pork aren't seasonal in the same way as the other meats featured in these tables and so can be eaten all year round.

Why eat nettles? Because they are good for you and they are free. You can easily walk out to any hedgerow in Britain and find yourself a whole bagful without any real effort. The formic acid that stings is destroyed by cooking, so don't worry about that. Strip the leaves from the tough stalks, wash and lightly boil then butter, or whizz up with stock for a soup. You can even make them into beer.
