This weeks episode is making an Aspargus Gruyere Tart! Even the most amateur of home chefs knows that Asparagus is a spring veggie that - TBH off season is quite bland, so practice patience and wait to indulge in asparagus during its proper season- you’ll also notice how much more affordable it is during the spring time.   In season asparagus is a very sweet vegetable & it begins to lose the sweetness once it’s harvested, so fresh is always best here - if you have access to a farmers market head there when you can & indulge in the highest quality you can find.
