The May 2015 round up – a collection of colourful Spring recipes.

Simple and in Season Collage May 2015

For the last month I have had the pleasure of guest hosting Simple & in Season, a food blogging challenge by the lovely UK/Polish blogger Ren Behan. In this challenge food bloggers around the world are invited to share the recipes for what they are making with their local, seasonal produce. Springtime is a time for feasting on colours, as you can see from the vibrant collection of recipes shared this month – I do hope you enjoy them!
