We have 2 recipes for you this week to showcase our new season British courgettes. We have included all the fresh ingredients to make our new warm lemony courgette salad, a healthy, vibrant salad of shaved courgette, lemon and basil. Great as a starter, side dish or lunch.
Our second recipe is one of our most popular, a delicious courgette and tomato soup. We know it’s soup and it seems too warm for soup but it is so light and tasty. Courgettes and tomatoes are at their best now, using vegetables at their peak definitely makes for a better tasting soup, these vegetables are packed with vitamins along with the health benefits from turmeric. To get the most benefits from the turmeric use plenty of pepper when seasoning, Turmeric and black pepper each have health benefits, as piperine enhances curcumin absorption in the body by up to 2,000%, combining the spices magnifies their effects.
Nothing can beat the taste of warm, buttery corn on the cob, it makes a great side dish with fish or chicken. We have fresh corn in both our boxes, we have tried all ways to cook corn, but this one is the best, microwave for about 4 minutes with the husk on. Remove using a tea towel as they will be extremely hot and steamy, let them cool slightly and peel back the husk.
We have chosen a Cheshire grown Lollo Rosso lettuce for the boxes this week, this classic Italian lettuce is a loose leaf variety with sweet, tender leaves.
The contents of the boxes appear below the gallery.

Bread always seems to be the first thing that people cut out of their diets when trying to cut down, but sourdough not only delivers a tangy flavour that’s perfect for toast and sandwiches, it is good for you, too! The fermentation process for sourdough bread can lead to an increased number of prebiotic and probiotic-like properties, which help improve gut health. It freezes exceptionally well so you won’t be tempted to eat the whole loaf.
