Food in Season - June

(picture nicked from here)

Summer time and the living is easy.....

This is the second instalment in a continuing series about seasonal produce.

Summer is upon us and the month of June continues with bountiful produce and the food in season in the more temperate climes at the moment is:

Artichoke
Asparagus
Aubergine
Courgettes
New Potatoes
Runner beans
Spring onions
Turnips

Gooseberries
Strawberries

Lamb
Pigeon

Crab
Mackerel
Plaice
Sea Trout

Please do use the search facility on the right to look up recipes with these ingredients but over the next few days I’ll try and add a few more new ones for some of these lovely goodies.

Enjoy!

FOOD! GLORIOUS FOOD!

More delicious devilment than you can shake a cocktail stick at! Yes, it's the blog that makes you go nomnomnomonom!

If you're looking for a specific recipe or ingredient, don't forget the easiest way to get to what you want is by using the search box!

Recipes and Notes
Posts tagged as recipes are intended to be developed, easy to follow and reliable recipes, while those tagged notes are intended for more advanced cooks who can pick up an idea or approach from the note and apply it themselves - so notes typically won't give quantities or step-by-step method.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Look, we've got day jobs and all sorts. Most photography on this blog is camera-top flash stuff because we're not allowed to get out the Multiblitzes every time we cook something cool. So forgive us if the snaps are workmanlike rather than inspiringly styled food porn. This is readers' wives, not Penthouse...

CUPS?
If you're American and you use cups, sorry but we're Euro boys and girls (we, apart from Chris) and we use metric. However, don't despair, you can use this here handy and fancy online cup converter tool!

And if you'd like to know a little bit more about what went on here, take a look at this.

FEEDING THE FAT EXPAT

Alexander
Alexander's life long fascination with food has sustained him three times a day for 46 years. It's been a long, hard road paved with chocolate and red wine...

HalfManHalfBeer
HMHB's deep interest in food started with a girl, as all good things do, and with the realisation that girls love a man who can cook. Its been all downhill since then.

Slimseun
Slimseun is a semi-retired ship`s master, now living and doing consulting work in Brazil. He enjoys cooking and reviewing restaurants. He has lived in the U.S, Japan and Brazil since going to sea at age 16. South African by nationality. living in Coqueiral de Aracruz in the state of Espirito Santo in Brazil.

The Small Print

All recipes feed four people unless otherwise stated.

You're more than welcome to use the recipes, pictures, features or other bits and bobs from this blog as you see fit, except for commercial use. We would ask only that you link back to The Fat Expat.

If you wish to re-publish the content from this blog in any way in a commercially motivated vehicle or for commercial gain of any sort, you are requested to contact the authors prior to any such publication. We'll probably say 'yes' but it'd be polite to ask, no?

If you searched for food in Dubai, Dubai restaurants, expat food blog, Dubai food blog, blog about food, recipe blog, Arabic recipes, Indian recipes, Asian recipes or just Middle East food blog then welcome - You've come to the right place!

If you searched for 'breasts' or 'orgasm' then you'll just get a chicken recipe or an over-awed restaurant review. Sorry.

PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING

At times this blog might refer to things that some people would rather not think about. Like the fact that animals die so that we can eat meat. Or that chicken breasts come off chickens, not foam plastic trays. Or that when we eat, the inevitable consequence is that we poo. If you can't live with that degree of reality, then this is probably not the blog for you. Whatever, we're not apologising. This is real life baby.
