Welcome to the June edition of bare ingredients
Welcome back to Foodiesite as we embrace the vibrant month of June! For our Northern Hemisphere readers, June marks the advent of summer, bringing with it an array of fresh, sun-kissed produce. With seasonal gems like cherries, zucchini, tomatoes, and fresh herbs at their peak, there's no better time to dive into the bounty of summer and enjoy refreshing salads, grilled dishes, and beautifully presented meals bursting with colour and flavour.
For our Southern Hemisphere readers, June is a celebration of the winter harvest. Farmers' markets are brimming with hearty root vegetables, citrus fruits, and winter greens. It’s the perfect time for cosy comfort foods such as slow-cooked casseroles, nourishing soups, and indulgent baked goods. The cool weather invites us to savour warming techniques, from roasting to braising, bringing out deep, rich tastes that provide warmth and satisfaction.
