from our plotSweet, blunt-tipped and obligingly straightforward — the carrot that reminds you how little a home-grown one tastes like the shop. Pull one on a fine afternoon, wipe it on your sleeve, and eat it there and then.
in the kitchen
Honey-roasted carrots
Halve lengthways, toss with olive oil, honey, and thyme sprigs. Roast until the edges caramelise and the kitchen smells like autumn. Finish with a crumble of feta.
Carrot and coriander soup
Sweat an onion, add chunked carrots, ground coriander and stock, simmer until soft, then blitz smooth and swirl in a little yoghurt. Gentle, warming, and never once a disappointment.
