It’s so Important to Follow the Seasons

“There is a good reason for this and in France, Spain & Italy it is all taken for granted and chefs learn these lessons at an early age.

“When you buy a fruit or a vegetable in season it is at its best, its freshest and its cheapest because it is in abundance, so this is the best time to use an ingredient.

It holds its best amount of nutrition. Everything about it is perfect. It has been grown locally to where you are in perfect conditions.

When you buy an ingredient out of season it has often been grown for that purpose in a country that is far away and does not have ideal growing conditions for that ingredient.

Consequently, it is more expensive and less ideal from a nutrition point of view. So, it’s really important to plan for the seasons. Plus, you get to work with amazing produce.”
