It might be hailing and rainy outside, but my poor cucumber plants are still limping on in the garden. and although I didn't think you could buy broad beans now, I found these at my greengrocers, and they were grown in Kent which I thought was rather brilliant. The bright green beans and the crunchy cucumber are a great combination, and good friends to falafel and flatbread, or to some. If you go down to the woods today, and your favourite Italian trattoria comes to mind, it's probably because you've just disturbed a crop of wild garlic. Also known as "Ramsons", wild garlic is part of the Allium family, and is related to chives, onions and leeks. At Essex Street Market, you can be on a first-name basis with your butcher, cheese seller, grocer and fishmonger.
