Cooking with whatever’s in season sounds like something only a farmer’s-market regular can pull off. In practice, it just means paying a little more attention to what’s actually good right now.<\/p>\n

Let the Produce Aisle Guide You<\/h2>\n

Instead of shopping from a recipe, try shopping from what looks best that day, then deciding what to make afterward. Produce in season is usually cheaper, fresher, and needs far less doctoring to taste good.<\/p>\n

Why It Tastes Better<\/h2>\n

Fruits and vegetables picked closer to their natural season spend less time in transit and cold storage, which usually means more flavour with less work \u2014 a ripe summer tomato barely needs more than salt.<\/p>\n

A quick seasonal cheat sheet<\/h3>\n

Bright, watery produce (tomatoes, berries, cucumbers) tends to peak in warmer months; hearty, dense produce (squash, root vegetables, cabbages) tends to peak in cooler ones.<\/p>\n

It Simplifies Cooking, Too<\/h2>\n

When the main ingredient is already excellent, the rest of the recipe can stay simple \u2014 a hot pan, a little oil, and some salt does most of the work. Seasonal cooking ends up being less effort, not more.<\/p>\n

You don’t need a farm nearby to cook seasonally \u2014 just a habit of noticing what actually looks good before deciding what’s for dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
