Nothing tastes like food straight from the garden, I'm a great believer that food is only fresh 15min from picking, after that it begins to dΓ©gradΓ©. When our et children were et small their favorite food was fresh asparagus, put the pan to boil , walk to the to garden and back, pop it in boiling water 2min , on to the plate and add homemade salted butter. That's living the good life !
