Spring is just around the corner, and I’m really looking forward to the days getting longer, roll on 30^th March 2025, it can still be chilly and tricky to prepare for. 

British Pie Week (3rd-9th March): A week dedicated to celebrating all kinds of pies, having been introduced in 2007 by pastry manufacturer Jus-Rol.

Pancake Day (4th March): Also known as Shrove Tuesday, it’s the day before Lent begins. I love a pancake as you can put all sorts of toppings on top. I’m very traditional, I like lemon and sugar! but hazelnut spread with fresh strawberries are also a top favourite in my house.

Mothers day – 30^th March – A day to honour and appreciate all mums and mother figures in our lives.

During March, you can enjoy a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Here’s a list of what’s in season:

• Banana
• Beetroot
• Bramley apple
• Cabbage
• Carrots
• Chicken
• Kale
• Leek
• Broccoli
• Rhubarb
• cauliflower
