Cooking seasonally — cheaper, better, no thought required

Strawberries in December taste of nothing and cost three times as much; asparagus in May costs half and tastes of asparagus. Plan the week around what is in season and you automatically cook with more variety — pumpkin comes in October, kale in January, the courgette glut in August.

The season calendar in this app shows for every month what comes from German outdoor growing and what is still good from storage. The dish catalogue is tagged accordingly, and “roll the week” prefers seasonal dishes.
