What's Hot on Chef+ June 2018
In association with
June is full of dazzling summer produce and we continue to be amazed by your creations. Upload your seasonal dishes and recipes to your profile using the Chef+ app and we'll share the very best on our social media!
Here's some members who have really caught our eye this month:
Mike Carr
Filip Poon
Malcolm Church
Top recipe pick of the month
The most popular recipe this month was Wild mushroom espuma and Granny Smith apple by Christos Siomadis. This vegetarian dish combines three types of wild mushrooms with a tasty apple gel.
Top cocktail recipe of the month
The most popular drinks recipe this month was this punchy tomato-based cocktail from Hyde Lobby Bar at Lancaster London. A slight twist on a classic Bloody Mary recipe, the mixologists have used Ardbeg Scotch Whisky instead of vodka for a smokier flavour.
What foods are in season in June?
Now that we're entering the summer months, there's an abundance of great produce coming into season including blackcurrants, aubergines and wood pigeon. Make sure you upload your seasonal recipes and images to the Chef+ app, and we'll share the best ones on our social media channels.
In addition to this, there's a real bounty to be found at sea at the moment, with salmon (farmed), sea urchin and brown crab in season.
