I am so, so over root vegetables. Celeriac, parsnips, even carrots – I’m done with them and their wintry produce pals. For now, anyway. They’ve done me proud right through the winter – and in, oh, about eight months time I know I’ll be in the mood for them again – but right now there is the spring in the air and I want to cook and eat accordingly.
The hope of spring eating comes just a little before the produce itself does. As soon as the mornings get that bit lighter earlier, the afternoons longer, and I don’t have to wrap my thickest coat right around me as I bundle through the Market. So to satisfy my early springtime cravings I’ve been reminding myself of the spring produce recipes we included in Borough Market: The Knowledge. Recipes I haven’t cooked for long months, but now can’t wait to get back to.
