I adore purple sprouting broccoli, first time in the box this year, I must admit to adoring it steamed with either some white sauce over or hollandaise sauce.

I also saw a recipe recently for jerusalem artichokes dauphinois, simply replace the potatoes with slices of artichoke. I think that would be a great accompaniment to a roast at the weekend. I suppose it would also work alternating layers of potato and artichokes.

The swiss chard looks more like pak choi, it is in bunches, actually I think it is bok or pak choi. I need to look it up on the web and check, but can be used very similarly.

Last night I cooked some red cabbage, sliced it and braised it with some unsalted butter, sherry vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. I also added a little water and cooked gently for about 30 minutes. A really subtle sweet and sour flavour.
