What’s in season: radishes When bunches of freshly picked radishes hit the market, it’s a sure sign that summer is around the corner. Serve them as the French do with sweet butter and coarse salt for dipping. Or pick up a few varieties and enjoy their peppery bite in this colourful Radish Carpaccio with Feta and Pumpkin Seeds.

Kitchen Hack Scrambling on

The consensus for soft, creamy, scrambled eggs is to go low and slow. Mandy Lee of the food blog Lady and Pups has come up with an ingenious method to cook them in just 15 seconds. The secret ingredient is cornstarch, which forces the eggs’ water and protein to bind at high heat and yield a creamy texture. Visit ladyandpups.com for the full recipe.
