For Reflection
How aware are you of what food grows in which season? Make a concerted effort to learn more: peek over allotment fences to see what’s growing; see what’s being sold at your Farmers’ Market etc
One-hit Wonder
Carry out an audit of your weekly/monthly shopping and work out how much of it reflects the season that you are in (eg. spring mackerel, summer asparagus, autumn lamb, winter kale…).
Occasional
Stop buying one thing that is not in season and replace it with something that is. Do that regularly.
One-hit Wonder
Get hold of a recipe book that takes you through the seasons.
Repeating Challenge
Learn to enjoy and appreciate the gluts and fasts that the seasons bring (will it really harm you if you only eat strawberries for a couple of months in the summer?).
Repeating Challenge
Learn how to store and preserve so that the gluts and fasts don’t become too overwhelming!
Occasional
Use only local, in-season food for your Christmas lunch.
