Seasonal sensations..

Last night, I suppered at my lovely friend Hen's. She is a great cook and we whipped up a delicious spring-time risotto. It was packed with goodies, such as ribbons of courgette, pesto chicken, asparagus and lots of parmesan. This was my first British asparagus of the season and it did not disappoint, it was delicious and cooked just right, still with some bite. I cannot wait for my next taste of British asparagus, a true, patriotic treat. So good that it is just as delicious on its own with a sprinkling of sea salt and some melted butter. I think I will next have it with a the good Nigella Hollandaise recipe that I've just about mastered, a great starter! So here's to the British asparagus, a truly seasonal delight.
