Lemon tarragon chicken with new potatoes
This dish makes the most of some of this season’s tastiest ingredients for a satisfying but lighter meal than winter’s heavy casseroles.
To serve 4-6 people:
Parry P6BO
The Parry P6BO is manufactured by Parry catering, a company which has more than 30 years of experience in the sourcing and manufacturing of high quality products for all types of professional catering establishments.

Food as fuel
Where our ancestors ate to survive, we eat for pleasure.
Aside from a few medical conditions or physically demanding jobs such as building, there are few situations these days when people genuinely need to increase their calorie intake.
However one such group is athletes, whether at professional level or amateur marathon runners.
Anyone for a cronut?
The ubiquitous cupcake has yet another contender for its crown.
A new hybrid sweet treat is taking New York by storm, named the cronut to reflect its mixed croissant/donut origins.
An initial batch of 50 was offered for sale to customers of a chic, modern Manhattan patisserie only a week ago.
Food from a container garden
There’s nothing like the taste of home-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs but not everyone has the luxury of a large garden or access to an allotment.
However home-grown food is still achievable for those with the smallest garden, patio or even an apartment balcony.
The key is to choose foods that grow vertically.
New range of Lincat Hot Cupboards
The new range of Lincat hot cupboards has already proven to be a hit with commercial catering businesses.
These hotcupboards come in a range of sizes – the 800 series has the capacity to hold between three and six of the 1/1GN containers (standard sized), whilst the second smaller 670 series can hold approximately five of these.
Lastly, there is the Light Duty serious, which is made up of four models which are static.
Would Sir like ketchup with his cockroach?
The United Nations is encouraging people to eat insects such as ants and grasshoppers in order to combat growing food scarcities, malnutrition and to reduce pollution.
Apparently insects are an ideal nutritional solution to shortages of traditional food products for humans and animals.
Pointing out that up to two billion people already eat insects regularly, the UN also makes the argument that insects are an environmentally friendly food source.
Herby crab cakes
May features culinary delights apart from asparagus, among them various seafoods and herbs.
This fresh, tasty recipe makes the most of both.
You can use tinned crab meat at a push but fresh is much better and easily available at the moment.
Foster coldrooms
Foster coldrooms are ideal for owners of commercial catering establishments, who are on a budget but don’t want to compromise on quality or durability.
The Proline range comes in several different sizes to suit both large, medium and small kitchens, so whether you need a large coldroom for storing sizable quantities of food, or space is at a premium in your kitchen, you’ll find a Foster coldroom to suit.
This line of coldrooms comes with two temperature options; chiller and freezer and several different shelving options
Asparagus season
May in the UK brings asparagus and there are plenty of ways to make the most of this versatile green.
You can serve asparagus very simply by cooking on a griddle over a high heat for about five minutes, until it is tender, then serving garnished with a little squeezed lemon juice and parmesan shavings.
Char grilled asparagus is made sophisticated wrapped in Parma ham and served with grilled halloumi and capers.
