So simple, fresh and delicious. Mint and feta is a combination you can’t argue with – and it works so well with lovely sweet peas. Best enjoyed on sunny spring days. I have resisted the urge to call this pea-za.

Gently caramelised, diced and used in the base of recipes, finely sliced and tossed raw into salads. Here are some of my favourite ways to eat it.…
Fennel, freekeh and lemon
A really nourishing plate of food. There’s so much depth of flavour in the grains. Anisey fennel and a marmeladey bitterness from the whole diced lemon.
