We have new season Roscoff onions this week, full of flavour and slightly sweet,

You’ve heard of rosé wine, but this is a rosé vegetable! Totally versatile, the Roscoff Onion can be used as a vegetable, a side-dish or as a condiment, raw or cooked. They are celebrated not just for their colour, but also for their unique flavour, their high vitamin C content and their long shelf-life. They won’t be around long you can add them to your box for £7.50, they come in a 1kg rope and will keep really well hung in a cool location.

ROSARY GOATS CHEESE is a fresh, creamy goat’s cheese with a mousse-like texture and a natural acidity. Winner of the Supreme Champion Award at the British Cheese Awards 2014, it is made from pasteurised milk, using a microbial rennet, which makes it suitable for vegetarians. Just enough salt is added to enhance its unique flavour. £5.70

Potted shrimps is a traditional English dish made with brown shrimp flavored with nutmeg and baked in butter. The butter acts as a preservative.  Regarded as a delicacy, it is traditionally eaten with bread. £5.50 per pot

We also have our usual fresh fare of Salmon, Cod, Plaice, Sea Bass, Tuna, Scallops, Smoked Haddock, Manx Kippers and Dressed Crab on our Seafood counter this week. To order go to our Fresh Fish section or ring the shop on 01457 852456.

Navel oranges are in both boxes this week, Navel are a winter orange with thick, bright orange skin and sweet, juicy flesh. They are perfect for this time of year for an extra boost of vitamin C.

English Braeburn apples have been exceptionally good this year, probably one of the best looking apples, half green and half reddish. They have a deep apple flavour with sweetness, good background acidity and a slightly spicy taste.

This recipe is for those who love the flavour of Wasabi. We use Tracklements Spifire Chilli and it adds a real kick to perfectly cooked Salmon fillets.  This dish is delicious, quick and easy to cook.
