What’s in season: July

July is a fantastic month to indulge in local, seasonal produce. With the sunshine out – giving way to a whole host of scrumptious fruit and vegetables – you’ll be able to chef up a storm in your own home.

Summer salads

Salads really come into their own in summer – and with the wide range of herbs and veggies available we’re not at all surprised. Artichoke makes an extra special addition to a summer salad, especially when laced with vinaigrette. And if salads seem too saintly for your summer, why not try a Mediterranean-inspired pasta or pizza dish with toppings and herbs including artichoke, courgette, garlic, tomatoes, oregano and basil.

Light mains

If you’re looking for a dose of protein in your dish, you can’t beat a cod or smoked haddock main. Light, flaky and complemented by a wide variety of flavours and textures, you can enjoy anything from breaded harissa cod with lemon and red onion cous cous to potato and pea fishcakes.

For the meat-eaters of you, lamb makes an excellent choice and its flavour is definitely best in the summer months. Add to a salad or cook in a Moroccan-inspired dish for a tasty meal that’s guaranteed to wow. Other more interesting meats you might want to try this July include wood pigeon, rabbit and venison.

A bit of something sweet

Of course, July is a great time to pick your own berries and currants, from raspberries and strawberries to blackcurrants, you certainly won’t be short on fruits full of flavour. Why not make summer pudding with your leftovers, or some sweet jams?

Once you’ve had your fill of berries, it’s worth taking a bite of July’s other fabulous fruits – from watermelon, to apricots and peaches. They make an excellent alternative to the traditional sweet treat and will keep you hydrated too!
