March shows the first signs of spring and promises a new gathering of vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood. While you’ll find lots available on your supermarket shelves, keep a look out for the best seasonal ingredients for a dish that looks and tastes great.
In March, we recommend you get your hands on the following ingredients:
Spring greens are the first cabbages of the year and are tasty and healthy. A great side, they go well with all your meats and other veggies. They can be distinguished them from other cabbages because of their fresh, loose heads. They also don’t have the hard heart found in other cabbages.
Rich in a number of nutrients, broccoli is a staple in most homes, but did you know that seasonal broccoli brings with it even more benefits? Purple sprouting broccoli is your best choice for March and is leafier and deeper in colour than your typical broccoli, with extra crunch.
Spring lamb offers the benefit of being very tender – making it ideal for one-pot meals. Although doesn’t have as much flavour as lamb later in the year, since it hasn’t had as much time to graze, it can still be combined with a range of other seasonal foods for a delicious tasting and textured dish.
Mussels are great choices for your fish stew and also have the added benefit of being very cheap. Despite their cost, they make great additions in any ‘posh’ menu, or in special occasion meals.
We love all our zesty fruits, especially the grapefruit – which is also said to be good for the waistline! Grapefruits tend to be juicier and sweeter during the spring and winter months and make a great addition to your morning breakfast or a delicious zesty cake.
The Bake It Yourself team has come up with whole range of sumptuous recipes, perfect for early spring. Some of our favourites include:
A succulent lamb main: One-Pan Lamb Cutlets & Sweet Potatoes
Switch the Sunday roast for this delicious dish, featuring the seasonal favourite of lamb. We particularly love the Mediterranean-feel of this one-pot meal – getting us in the mood for sunnier days. Cook in your CircoRoasting oven at 170 for 40 minutes for one-pot perfection.
A delicious fish dish: Normandy Fish Stew
If you’re a fan of more adventurous cuisine and seafood dishes, you’ll love this fish stew. It combines seasonal mussels with white fish, prawns, and a whole lot of tasty extras for something quite spectacular! Cook on the Bottom Heat setting at 180 for about 25 minutes in total.
A zesty desert: Clementine and Almond Cake
Zesty fruits taste great in March – and almonds are popular too. This cake combines the two with other delicious flavours for a treat that’s perfect for pudding. The cake can be cooked in the CircoTherm at 180 and takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to bake.
New display coming soon to our Failsworth showroom!

A KITCHEN AND LIVING SPACE REIMAGINED FOR A RIBBLE VALLEY HOME
Paulo and Debbie first discovered Kitchen Design Centre back in 2013 when they created their dream kitchen—and they loved it so much that, years later, they returned once more.
This time, it was for a brand-new kitchen, utility room, games room and garage storage area as part of a major renovation to their family home.
Inspired by a stunning display in the Barrowford showroom, Paulo and Debbie teamed up with Barrowford Showroom Manager, Simon Thomas. With over 25 years of experience, Simon was the perfect person to take on their new brief—one that pushed boundaries and called for creativity in a limited space.
Debbie, inspired by Pinterest, envisioned a kitchen with rich walnut tones. Simon brought this to life with a sophisticated, contemporary design that cleverly created the feeling of a large island in a narrow room, proving that great design isn’t about space—it’s about smart solutions. He did this by linking the island to one wall to create the perfect cooking centre with all the focus in to the room.
“Simon was incredible. We loved the kitchen so much that we asked him to turn his attention to the majority of our downstairs. The whole area now has real wow factor—and it’s incredibly practical too. We couldn’t be happier with the result.”

A SLEEK, HIGH-END CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN FOR A MANCHESTER HOME
When renovating their Worsley home, Kim and Paul knew exactly who to trust with their dream kitchen — Kitchen Design Centre.
A Sleek, High-End Contemporary Kitchen for a Manchester Home
Having worked with them four years ago in their previous home, they were so thrilled with the result that choosing them again was an easy decision.
Visiting the Urmston showroom, they were immediately inspired by the stunning displays and enlisted designer Rowan Chick to create a sleek yet functional space. They envisioned a monochrome palette to complement the ultra-modern aesthetic of their new home — a striking contrast to their previous more traditional navy and taupe kitchen.
