To celebrate the start to the British watercress season we are giving away three aprons and three watercress books signed by renowned fan Antony Worrall Thompson.
The book contains over 30 delicious watercress recipes, history, folklore and health facts.
Did you know:
- The ancient Greeks called watercress kardamon; they believed it could brighten their intellect, hence their proverb "Eat watercress and get wit."
- Watercress is said to be a good cure for a hangover. For a great "morning after" cocktail, peel and dice one mango and whiz in blender with 1 bag of watercress and up to 500ml of pure apple juice.
- Watercress is believed by many to be an aphrodisiac. In Crete, islanders swear by its powers and ancient recipes are handed down from one generation to the next.
The competition is now closed.
