Sea Bass
Sea bass is best in the winter months and a whole bass is perfect for a special meal and is a favourite of many a restaurant chef, including Simon Rimmer of Something for the Weekend (shown on Sunday 30 November at 10am)
Sea bass can be poached, steamed, baked or cooked over coals but take care not to overcook it and use garlic, butter or olive oil or bake in delicious Halen Mon sea salt from Wales - if you thought all salt was the same, just try this one - you will never have any other salt again!
Turkey
Turkey is a healthy choice as it is very low in fat and high in protein, zinc, iron and B vitamins. Turkey that is ready frozen hasn’t allowed the flesh to mature, but you can always buy a fresh turkey and freeze it, if you wish
Pomegranate
The pomegranate has been a symbol of religious significance for centuries in many countries, and the fruit is available in Britain from early to mid-winter. It can be quite fiddly to eat though, as each pip has to be extracted individually because the pith is very bitter
Celery
Only the frost-hardy white celery is available in winter, and it is a very useful winter vegetable that can also be used to garnish and flavour dishes at a time when fresh herbs are scarce. Trimmed stalks are delicious with cheese or chopped into salads for crispness. Chopped celery can also be used to flavour stuffing, soups, sauces and stews and whole stalks can be steamed.
