Cooking with the season

Three simpel recipes of whats in season - Rhubarb Crumble image

Cooking with the seasons brings a certain simplicity to the kitchen. When ingredients are at their best, you don't need to do much to let them shine. Right now, forced rhubarb, tender leeks and savoy cabbage are in season across the UK. Here are a few simple, flavour-led recipes to make the most of them.

Leeks bring a gentle sweetness to even the simplest dishes. Slowly sautéed with garlic, they create an instantly comforting base. Our 20-Minute Leek, Pea & Cavolo Nero Soup is a go-to at this time of year -easy to pull together and just the thing for cooler days. It also makes a brilliant base for toppings. Crispy lentils add texture, while toasted seeds or a drizzle of olive oil work beautifully -especially with a warm piece of bread on the side.

With Forced Rhubarb in season throughout March, it feels like the right moment to lean into something nostalgic. This Rhubarb Crumble is simple and comforting, with just the right balance of sweetness and sharpness - ideal for a relaxed Sunday lunch or an easy dessert to share.

Savoy cabbage is wonderfully versatile - affordable, easy to cook and full of texture. Roasted until golden, these Crispy Cabbage Wedges are finished with a miso, sesame and maple glaze, balanced with lemon and tahini for a rich, savoury finish. Serve them alongside a warm rice salad for a simple, flavour-packed meal.

A few simple ingredients, cooked well and in season, can make everyday meals feel that little bit more special. Team DE x
