So let's talk then about what's in season, because that's why I really love to have you in. voice-verified

Because, you know, people often wonder in a health and wellness show, why are we talking about food? voice-verified

But that's the very basis. voice-verified

Oh, yeah. voice-verified

I think a healthy relationship with food and body is paramount and enjoying our food. voice-verified

So what is in season at the moment and what should we be cooking with? voice-verified

Would you need a mandolin or something for that? voice-verified

Because I always think when I take the rough pieces off, I'm not really left with much. voice-verified

And there's the stalky bit at the top. voice-verified
