What is seasonal cooking?

Seasonal cooking is the practice of preparing meals using ingredients that are currently in season and locally available. This approach emphasizes freshness, flavor, and nutrition, as fruits and vegetables are typically harvested at their peak. Seasonal cooking often supports local farmers and reduces the environmental impact associated with transporting out-of-season produce. It encourages creativity in the kitchen, as menus and recipes change throughout the year to reflect what's available. Many people find that seasonal cooking leads to tastier and more satisfying meals.
