Missing May

May has almost passed without a single post to the Tracing Paper. The birth of our second daughter on April 28th has given me plenty to do besides. I’ll resume regular postings to the Tracing Paper once our expanded family finds a settled routine in a few weeks (or months?).
Meanwhile, other bloggers have been celebrating the seasonal joys of one of the most exciting months of the culinary year, with delicious foods in season from new carrots and elderflower to sardines and sea trout.
With English asparagus at its best, superfood has some interesting observations and tempting recipe ideas, while thepassionatecook sings the praises of the more continentally favoured white asparagus and the Real Epicurean proposes an intriguingly mouth watering recipe for chilled radish leaf and asparagus soup.
I’m particularly sorry to have missed my chance to post on the subject of hop shoots, a delicacy available free in hedgerows everywhere or at great expense from innovative retailers such as Booths. Next year!
How wonderful, many congratulations! It’s good to see you back posting and nice to hear that the absence has been for a such a happy reason :-)
Great to have you back and many congratulations! Thanks for the mention.
I missed out on hop-shoots too - haven’t seen any in the hedgerows round my way I’m afraid.
Congratulations! We forgive your absence, given the circumstances!
Hi Nick
I write for a food magazine and would like to do a piece about your blog. Could you give me an email address I can contact you on?
