Its March 1st and we are rapidly approaching British Summer Time (oh I know it doesnt feel like it !) but the onset of March celebrated on 1st with St David's Day signifies the the end of winter and the start of Spring . As Daffodils poke through the soil somehow it just feels a little better and the days start to get longer .
It's a great day for cooking too. Why not , given the occasion, conjour up a dish with Leeks?
Leek ,Potato and Bacon soup is a scrumptious "warmer" of a dish or try a succulent Chicken and Leek pie...there's some great recipes for these and other dishes of a Welsh theme on the BBC's food website http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/news_and_events/events_stdavidsday.shtml go take a look .
Now later this month is St Patrick's day on 17th. Guinness anyone ?
