Spring is here, and with it comes a fresh crop of seasonal ingredients to bring into the kitchen.

In Part One of Jack’s chat with Del, a chef with more than 20 years of experience in professional kitchens, they’re talking about making the most of spring produce without making cooking complicated.

Del shares a simple asparagus dish that celebrates one of the stars of the season, pairing fresh asparagus with creamy avocado and plenty of flavour.

Along the way, she shares some of the small tricks that can make a big difference in the kitchen, why cooking seasonally matters, and how you can create something impressive without spending hours preparing it.

It’s fresh, simple and perfect inspiration for your next spring meal.
