News from Ben's kitchen
"Want
some fresh Spring greens? Go to nature's supermarket - the super
outdoors! But you won't need a shopping trolley - just a clean plastic
bag. I've just been to the woods to pick a small handful of Ramsons for
my lunch: 6 leaves are enough to mix with a salad of grated carrot &
beetroot to make a tasty, vitamin C and flavonoid and spring
cleaning-rich meal. If you add some freshly squeezed lemon and olive
oil, you'll ensure you also absorb all the vitamin A, D & E too.
Come
to our first Herb Walk of the year to experience the plants that get
their flowers out before the woods get their leaves out and how some
freshly picked Ramsons can deepen your breathing, clear your head, and
chase away the Winter cold."
