These recipes are inspired by the kitchen garden. I love being among the vegetables with my two dachshunds, Conifer and Miscanthus. Seasonality is key for me - there is something really nice about waiting until it is the right time for fruit and vegetables and celebrating their moment. I am not a trained chef, but a home cook, so these recipes are based around the sort of food I like to eat every day.
