Top recipe pick of the month
by Alexis Gauthier
The most popular recipe this month was Vegan 'Faux' Foie Gras recipe by Alexis Gauthier. Alexis worked with plant-based company BOSH! to create this vegan alternative to foie gras using lentils, walnuts and shallots.
Top cocktail recipe of the month
The Petersham Restaurant
The most popular drinks recipe this month was this vibrant vodka-based cocktail from The Petersham Restaurant in Richmond. For the Summer's Garden cocktail, they've combined the alcohol with kiwi puree, lime juice and sugar syrup, then served it with ice and garnished with a pansy. We're sure this will be a hit going into the warmer months!

We're loving all of the seasonal Spring produce at the moment, including lamb, asparagus and apricots. Make sure you upload your seasonal recipes and images to the Chef+ app, and we'll share the best ones on our social media channels.
There’s also a wealth of fish and seafood species in season in April, including mackerel, rainbow trout and monkfish.
