Hello All,

To all those who survived All Hallows, here are head buyer Luke’s weekly words on what’s good to munch in the world of seasonal delicacies.

Wild Mushrooms


Truffles

Autumn truffles roll on.

The white truffle season is strong. Product is excellent and sensibly priced. Especially if you decide size doesn’t matter. I may treat myself to a sneaky white truffle and chicken cannelloni starter for Chrimble this year. Delicate white sauce and some chanterelle to garnish, washed down with a nice glass of Montrachet.

Fruits


Vegetables

In short, more plant life than you could shake a big ugly stick at.

On the Cusp of Greatness

Eyes peeled for the first bergamot oranges, leafy clems and medlars.

Helianthes (Jerusalem artichoke’s milder mannered cousin) are due to start by the end of the week.

Meat

Our French Goose supplier has returned from his 10 month long lunch break. Available from this week.

Ambient Action

Setting up codes now for a traditional style panettone - made from a genuine sourdough ferment. I adore these bad boys when stale, soaked and steamed a la Delia.

I am indulging myself with a sneaky Italian condiment addition: mixed fruit mostarda (mustard infused preserved fruit) this week. A pungent preserve to stand up to full-on wintery meat dishes.

Call in on 020 7498 5397 to see what’s new today. And don’t forget, to get this newsletter into your inbox every week email seasonalrecommendations@wildharvestuk.com to sign up.
