Carrots
Carrots are brilliant – full of vitamins and extremely good for you. In the last year or so, we've been lucky enough to have seen lots of different varieties of carrots available in the shops – long, round, peculiar-shaped, and even some purple ones. My favourite ways of cooking carrots all serve 4 people – for each recipe you will need 500g of carrots, either left whole if they are baby ones, or sliced into small erratic pieces – nothing too perfect.
