An eastern European celebration of spring: a giant, shareable fritter of cabbage, pea and spring onion, and roast new potatoes and carrots with herby whipped fetaThis menu is the perfect marriage of eastern European flavours and British seasonal produce.

Presented here as the size of a rösti, it makes the perfect veggie centrepiece, and invokes the eastern European spirit of sharing. The side makes a perfectly creamy and zingy companion, showcasing the best of new season potatoes and carrots. Fresh, vibrant and full of colour, this duo is an edible herald of spring.
