London, UK (PRWEB) May 14, 2009 -- Many of us are going little further afield than our back garden this Spring, providing ample opportunity to don an apron and prepare a tasty meal for family and friends inspired by the season's bounty and recipes from foodtv.co.uk.

Asparagus, beetroot, purple sprouting broccoli, watercress, wild mushrooms and rhubarb are some of the vegetables and fruit flourishing in the spring time. Keep a look out at your local farmers' market so you can source what's local to you this Spring.

Start your Spring feast with garden bruschetta, followed by Herb-crusted lamb and roasted new potatoes with herbs and garlic. Round off the meal with a Strawberry and Rhubarb Tart or a light chocolate soufflé.

Now the days are getting warmer, it is the ideal time to get young ones more involved in mealtime planning, shopping and cooking. Let your child touch and smell fresh ingredients in your garden, at your farmers' market or the supermarket. Teach them how to tell when fruit and vegetables are ripe and understand the difference between different varieties. Back in the kitchen, get them involved, whether it be stirring, chopping or eating!
