It's Jersey Royals time!

Here in the Phipps office spring is one of our favourite times of year, not only because it means that summer is just around the corner, but also because it means that the Jersey Royals season has finally begun.  We’ve been busy shouting about Jersey Royals to the long leads since the autumn but now is the time we get to see all our hard work in print, online and even on television - coverage highlights so far include a three minute film on The One Show, a full page in the Daily Telegraph and recipes in over 30 regionals.  Furthermore, top chefs all over the country are creating mouth-watering Jersey Royals recipes to add to their menus - with two months left of the season expect to see Jersey Royals everywhere!

Media hungry for the first bite of Jersey Royals

Here at Phipps we love seasonal food and nothing says seasonality quite like Jersey Royal new potatoes.  As the season starts - slightly later than usual following a cold winter – we have been very busy here at the Jersey Royals press office making sure everyone knows about the ‘champagne of the potato world’.

With journalists from a number of publications including The Times and Waitrose Kitchen visiting Jersey to experience the journey from field to fork, and with coverage in key titles including Hello!, Red, The Evening Standard, The Independent and BBC 1’s The One Show,  we have definitely been spreading the Jersey Royals love amongst the British press.

If you’re eager to find out what is just so good about these kidney-shaped gems, why not try some of the fabulous recipes from Shaun Rankin (the Michelin starred chef from the island’s Bohemia restaurant) which you can find online at www.jerseyroyals.co.uk.
