This week’s cheese was chosen because it is an important ingredient in this week’s recipe. A crumbly tangy flavoured cheese which goes so well in the Beetroot, Feta and Puy Lentil Salad. 200g £3.20

This week both our £25 and £15 boxes include all the ingredients (except harissa) to make our delicious Harissa, aubergine and tomato bake, perfect served with sea bass, salmon or chicken.

We included a jar of harissa in your box two weeks ago, so there will be plenty for this recipe. If you need a jar just message and we can add one to your order. Harissa is a hot, aromatic paste made from chilli and assorted spices and herbs which are spicy and fragrant. It’s widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines as a condiment, or mixed with water or tomato juice to flavour stews, soups or couscous. 

The versatility of harissa is one of the best things about it. Just a smidge will give your dinner a lift. Add a little to a basic tomato sauce, or use it to pep up a chicken breast or piece of fish. You can also let it really dominate the dish – it’s historically used as a flavouring for couscous – and is especially good if you like the flavour of chilli but want something more complex.

A Perfect Partnership – carrots and turnips. 

This week’s boxes celebrate one of the tastiest duos in the winter kitchen. Whether you mash them together with a knob of butter, roast them until sweet and golden, or pop them into a hearty stew, these two classic roots bring warmth, flavour and comfort to every meal.

This old-fashioned root veg might not get the spotlight it deserves, but locally grown, seasonal turnips are absolute powerhouses, and they’re in our vegetables boxes right now!

Turnips may be a bit old-school, but their benefits are timeless, they are packed with vitamins, especially vitamin C to support your immune system. Great for digestion thanks to their natural fibre, low in calories, big on nourishment. Let’s bring this forgotten favourite back into the kitchen. What’s your favourite way to cook them? We are always looking for new ideas.

Fresh cranberries have arrived, perfect for freezing ready for Christmas £3.20 for 340g fresh from Wisconsin USA, Cranberries are grown on 21,000 acres across 20 counties in Wisconsin. The sand and peat marshes in central and northern Wisconsin create the perfect growing conditions for them.

Our new deli range has been exceptionally popular and has been selling out as soon as it comes in. We have managed to secure a larger order so this week we have it available to add to orders. This Tzatziki dip by odysea features real Greek yoghurt at its heart, made from Greek cow’s milk for a thick, creamier dip with more authentic texture.

Whether you’re dipping, spreading, or wrapping, its authentic Greek flavour will transport you to the sunny shores of the Mediterranean with every bite.
Judges at the Great taste awards said “This looks and tastes home-made and there is a wonderful creaminess to the Greek yoghurt. The seasoning is spot on and we liked the way the cucumber had been cut” £4 per pot

We are featuring two special olives this week:

Nocellara del Belice, whole Sicilian olives, naturally vibrant green in colour, these olives have an amazing nutty, buttery taste! £5.00 per pot and Gordal olives from Andalucia, with a firm bite and mild refreshing flavour. Gordal means the ‘Fat One’ in Spanish – it is a table olive with a profuse juiciness, but not bitter – it has an almost citrus-like taste on the palette. £5.00 per pot 

You will notice there is less fruit in your boxes at the moment. We are committed to bringing you only the best, in-season produce. Right now, some fruits are naturally out of season, and we won’t fill our boxes with poor-quality imports just for the sake of it. We believe in freshness and flavour, so while the selection may be smaller, you can trust it’s the best of what’s truly in season. We have included Ruby apricots in both boxes this week, with their bright orange skin with a deep red blush, they have a sweet aromatic flavour with a honey like after taste. 

Early season Kent blackberries are now available, freshly picked, sweet, and juicy—marking the start of the British berry season. Grown in Kent, they’re full of flavour, great for snacking, baking, or freezing, a true taste of early British summer!

Alphonso Mangoes are in season, grown in India and are considered to be the most superior variety of mango, sought after by many chefs. Whilst the flesh inside the mangoes are a golden colour, the skin of the mango is yellow with red spots.

In India, the short season which is usually around 6 weeks, is a good reason to celebrate these little fruits at mango festivals where they are cooked with in a variety of ways in both savoury and sweet dishes. 

Don’t forget English Asparagus, such a short season, ours is the finest Norfolk asparagus grown by J W Allen & Sons.

Golden kiwi are back in stock, these are so popular when we can get them. The flesh of the golden kiwifruit is a vibrant yellow colour with a smaller core and fewer seeds than the green variety. Cutting in half and scooping out the flesh with a spoon is one of the easiest ways to enjoy them. 

Once again Sea Bass or Salmon will both go perfectly with this week’s recipe – Vietnamese Mangetout Salad. To finish the dish baste the fish in our new Coriander and Chilli Flavoured Butter.
