March
PSB is going through a purple patch and rightly so, says Man of all Seasons, Tom Norrington-Davies.
Not only is it available all year round, it really does come in all these colours (we didn't believe it either so we've done a bit of research for you!)
Crunchy, peppery, juicy, colourful – with adjectives like these how could you resist the radishes? They've even got a festival in their honour!
Most people couldn’t describe a razor clam, as they can be tricky to find. But Tom Norrington-Davies thinks their flavour more than repays the effort of tracking them down.
March seasonal foods
Spring has sprung! Daffodils bloom, lambs gambol, and the fields are bursting with goodness. Bright, crisp radishes and spring onions (scallions to the Yanks) arrive but say a sad farewell to leeks, moreish mussels, rabbit, parsnips and sprouts.
