With spring in full swing, May blossoms with fresh and flavourful produce, and seasonal specials get seriously tasteful. Check out British asparagus - the season only lasts a few weeks, but it's a memorable one for its fine delicate flavour. Also good, peppery radishes and pungent watercress add bite to early salad bowls. Meat lovers are also in for a treat – by the end of the month, succulent spring lamb is in the butchers – perfect with mint sauce.
