What's In Season

The turn of the New Year is now behind us, but the celebrations are far from over with the promise of health, happiness and prosperity.

February is the last official month of Summer - a.k.a "love month" because of the widespread celebration of Valentine's Day.

In the first month of the Autumn season, we're naturally inclined towards recipes that will warm us right up during those cool evenings.

By now there's no denying that the days are becoming progressively shorter and at both dusk and dawn there's a familiar chill in the air.

May represents Autumn's departure signifying the lead up towards Winter, and seasonal recipes this time of year are designed to be uplifting.

With Winter upon us, the dropping temperature brings the promise of rich, hearty foods that demand time to cook, time to eat, and time to savour!

Sitting around the dinner table, savouring the taste of each sip of wine and each mouthful of food, it really will feel like Christmas in July.

The August experience in itself can be heart-warming and soul-enhancing.

When Spring has sprung, there is only one kind of fruit that must be present; the exotic kind.

October brings the middle of Spring when temperatures begin the climb towards sizzling Summer heats.

Spring breezes will soon be a memory replaced with hot Summer nights and outdoor barbeques featuring juicy fruits on the side.

Summer's here and with the Christmas holiday season brings a chance to prepare that sumptuous banquet.
