A list of things to put with rosemary that aren’t lamb

If you have a rosemary bush going wild right now you won’t want to miss our Herbery feature in our May issue, by Lia Leendertz, in which she shares three very different recipes with rosemary and gives advice on which herbs to plant in your garden. 

We were pleased to see lots of ideas we hadn’t thought of for rosemary recipes - it’s too good a herb to wait in the wings to be shown the occasional leg of lamb, after all. So here’s a list of a few more foods that love rosemary. Mix and match them as you wish:

• Almonds

• Anchovy

• Apricot

• Aubergines

• Bacon

• Brussels sprouts

• Butter

• Butternut squash

• Chestnuts

• Chicken

• Chocolate

• Citrus fruits

• Courgettes

• Gin

• Goat’s cheese

• Honey

• Mushrooms

• Oily fish

• Olives

• Onions

• Parmesan

• Parsnips

• Peas

• Potatoes

• Prawns

• Rhubarb

• Strawberries

• Sweet potato

• Watermelon

May Scrapbook Special Edition

We were INSPIRED when it came to making our new May issue. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. You’ve been telling us (and we love to hear it) that The Simple Things offers some respite from stress, worry and boredom during this difficult time, so we set ourselves the task to fill the magazine with even more comfort, calm and cheer than usual. It’s a homemade scrapbook of our best work and favourite features that we think will help right now. And it is literally homemade, edited and designed by the team from our kitchen tables, sofas and bedrooms.

So what’s inside? Here’s a list that might tick your boxes…
