Hello Sunshine…

…We say, more in hope than
expectation. And not entirely selfishly
because we want to eat outside. No,
the majestic aubergine loves the sun
too which possibly explains its central
role in the cuisine of places even
hotter than Dorset. There’s a bounty
of other favourites too this month
from strawberries to fennel and every
delicious point in between…
Aubergine meet fire. You
can cook them whole on a
gas hob or barbecue until
the skin blackens and flakes
off. The insides go soft and
deliciously smoky.
