So it's May already, the months seem to be flying by. The amount of seasonal vegetables available are rapidly increasing and the short lived asparagus season is well under way. I have also made a start on growing a small amount of my own vegetables and herbs which are starting to appear.
Sources used to put this list together:
Sainsbury's Magazine May (& there 2009 recipe calendar).
