Starter - Crab and Avocado Cocktail
Main Course - Sirloin Steak with Tewkesbury Mustard
Dessert - Rhubarb Layer with Clotted Cream
Dear Subscriber,
Hoping this slightly belated newsletter finds you well. We have now published our May Recipes Menu which we think offers some interesting flavours and combinations to try. Tewkesbury mustard is a delicious mustard from Gloucestershire that combines mustard flour and horseradish root. It should be available to buy online but if you can't get hold of it then your favourite mustard will do instead. Rhubarb is also in season now (in the Northern Hemisphere!) and, once sweetened with sugar or other sweeter fruits, makes a great dessert ingredient.
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday in the US and Canada, so here's wishing all the mums out there a very special day! Check out the website for some ideas on food for that day.
In the gardening section we have an article on how to To Beat Those Weeds.
In Health & Beauty we concentrate on toners and toning; see Toners and Toning.
Until next month,
James
