Spring has sprung!

I was very excited over the last week to see all the flowers in the parks across London. Of course, I did have to look up what they are (crocuses, apparently), but for me, they just screamed Spring. You could feel it in the air - it was warmer, people were outside, I even downgraded my coat a couple of days! Its coming . . .


It also felt like Spring when I saw white asparagus in the fruit and vegie shop this weekend. Of course, when I got it home, I noticed it was imported from Peru, so hardly indicative of British Spring at all, but oh well.


I decided to try a Jamie Oliver recipe from Jamie at Home for White Asparagus with Lemon and Mint Butter. Really simple, but fresh and tasty. With some toasted turkish bread, this was a lovely Spring-esque lunch.
