For me the gastronomic highlight of April – and indeed one of the highlights of the year – is beet tops, once they’ve run to seed. I love their nutty flavour, either steamed or gently sautéed in butter, and served as a green vegetable. Better still, combine them with sharp, salty feta cheese in this delicious tart, a lunchtime staple in my kitchen in the spring.
