The Oak Tree Recipe Book by ingredients

Here at The Oak Tree we eat with the seasons, so here is a selection of recipes from our lovely members that help us to make the very best of the crops that we enjoy through the year. We’ll add to this over the months, so please do check back!

We have organised the recipes by major ingredients found in the recipe, hopefully you will find it easier to identify a recipe based on the vegetables found in your weekly box!
