With spring having finally sprung there’s a whole range of wonderful new taste sensations to enjoy. From succulent meats to light, spring-fresh veggies – the May menu really is one of our favourites to tuck into!
The benefits of eating what’s in season are endless.
Firstly, it brings the costs down, meaning you can enjoy great food at its most reasonable cost; but more importantly than that the food will be even tastier than if you try to buy it when it’s more expensive, out of season.
Fresh, locally harvested foods have their full, whole flavours intact and provide a whole host of nutritional benefits.
This is unlike food transported from other parts of the world that may not ripen as effectively as they would in their natural environment, loosing flavour every step of the way.
The seasonal option of lamb is a popular choice for May and can be used in a wide variety of dishes and cuisines.
Seafood choices from crab, sardines and haddock are also a welcome alternative to heavy meat dishes, offering something light and tasty for the warmer months.
In May you came also enjoy wood pigeon and wild boar – a great option for those who look forward to the game season later in the year.
Spring vegetables are full of flavour.
We’ve finally said goodbye to the heavy and wholesome root vegetables from the autumn and winter months and now welcome the fresher, lighter alternatives like asparagus.
Leafy greens such as rocket, spinach and watercress are also in abundance and make an excellent addition to salads and Mediterranean inspired dishes, helping to give a real Tuscan vibe.
It’s also time to ditch the roast potato and parsnips in favourite of fluffy new potatoes enriched with the season’s herbs.
Other May favourites include chicory, radish, wild garlic and samphire – all guaranteed to lift your dish.
As the weather begins to change and temperatures start to heat up, fruit becomes the dessert of the day over more stodgy options like sponge syrup pudding.
In the UK we’re lucky enough to benefit from some of the best in berries with English-grown blueberries and gooseberries in abundance.
If you’re lucky you may also get your hands on English-grown strawberries and raspberries, which begin to appear in late spring / early summer.
Other fabulous fruits to take advantage of in May include apricot, nectarine, elderflower and rhubarb – great for your crumbles and fruit punch!

A SLEEK, CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN WITH A T-SHAPED ISLAND
When a client decided to replace the kitchen in his Ribble Valley home, he approached Kitchen Design Centre and Blackburn Showroom Manager Will Hustler after a recommendation from his business partner.
“I’m delighted with the look of the kitchen but also how functional it is. Will really thought about how the kitchen would work from a cooking perspective.”

What a transformation by Simon at our Barrowford showroom. SWIPE for the before and after.
Our client chose the lovely (finger print proof)matt Umbra and black velvet oak doors with striking Calacatta quartz worktops. The Umbra was chosen to coordinate with their existing dining set.
Simon from our Barrowford showroom ran the project with Graham from GCL Developments @gcldevelopments. All fitted while the customer were on holiday for a month.
Matching utility with wash basket storage, maximum floor to ceiling units and dog wash sink. The design was to open up the space and make all the rooms work as one family space, with defined areas/zones.
