April in Berry Lodge brings early season flavours and we will use foods that are just coming into season and have the freshness of new growth. Herbs are beginning to grow along with rhubarb, Spring greens, new season eggs, lamb and sea vegetables such as sloke or sliuchain. We will use some of these ingredients to make recipes from the very simple to the more complex. We will also refer to planning menus that are fun and we will show creative ways to present and serve food and also refer to pairing the dishes with beverages. A sample of ingredients are: eggs, smoked salmon, early Spring salads, Spring cabbage, Spring lamb, rhubarb and chocolate.
