What’s in Season in January?

Christmas is over all of a sudden and the decorations are starting to come down.  After weeks of feasting, it feels like time for a bit of belt tightening so let’s see what January has to offer

Fruit & Veg in season in January

Blood Oranges

As you might expect for one of the coldest months of the year, January is pretty sparse for foods coming into season.  The blood orange however, is available now so catch it while you can as you’ll only see it for the next couple of months.

Meat & Fish in season in January

Sea Bass

Sea bass seems to have become incredibly popular over the last few years and sadly, the price reflects this.  If you’re feeling flush though, it will fit with any New Year’s healthy eating you have planned.  Why not pair it with some blood orange for a beautifully light and fresh meal?

Foraging

Walnuts

Horseradish

I’m a big fan of walnuts – especially when I find them in cake.  Now I know this is the time for diets and so on, but I do find a spot of cake once in a while really helps to keep the healthy eating on track…
