Starters for a SPRING wedding:

Fresh, lightly steamed English asparagus with my homemade hollandaise. It doesn't come much simpler or much better as far as I'm concerned. National Asparagus Day is Shakespeare's birthday (23rd April). Did I mention we adore asparagus?         

Griddled asparagus, pancetta & rocket salad with a balsamic glaze. 

Potted shrimp with lots of lemon & black pepper, brown bread & butter.

Fennel, frissee, gorgonzola & walnut salad with melted camembert dressing.

Homemade spring vegetable minestrone with a blob of my pesto & a chunk of great bread.

Main courses for a SPRING wedding:

Navarin of  young lamb with spring vegetables - -  one of life's great treats don’t you think? Or try a loin of spring lamb with my homemade apricot, garlic and coriander stuffing, served with basmati rice and a homemade aubergine chutney).

Flattened chicken - - our butcher takes out all of the bones & I stuff under the skin with new wild garlic (prolific in spring) & whichever fresh herbs take my fancy, then drizzle it in olive oil & lemon, and serve it in slices...Divine!

Slow roasted chilli pork - - fall apart tender & a great excuse to serve spring cauliflower with roasted fennel seeds.

Warm sliced gammon, with fresh pineapple salsa.  

Or a rack of spring lamb, served pink!

Desserts for all year round:

I haven't mentioned desserts in my seasonal ideas, but it goes without saying that a chocolate pudding (be it mousse, hot fudge sundae, torte or roulades) can be eaten 365 days a year, that Eton mess, corny as it is, is a match made in heaven & a perfect summer dessert, that Posh jelly & ice cream is always popular & that, come autumn & winter stick to your ribs desserts like bread & butter pudding, cobblers & crumbles (with all the deliciousness that autumn berries offer) with my homemade vanilla custard (to die for) are no brainers!
