Fresh Australian asparagus is here now!

The Australian asparagus season has arrived. We can now purchase home grown Australian asparagus rather than imported produce right up until March 2006. Fresh asparagus is quick and easy and versatile too, so it is a must for every family’s weekly shopping list!

To celebrate the luscious quality of fresh Australian asparagus, and to thank you for your ongoing support, we have enclosed your fresh asparagus gift pack. And we have included some other premium Australian products for you to enjoy with your asparagus - Toscana Premium Lemon Pressed Olive Oil and Pyramid Hill Salt Flakes and Pepper Berry & Garlic Salt.

We have produced three new recipes that today's busy cooks can whip up in minutes: Parmesan Asparagus Spears, BBQ Fish with Asparagus & Rocket and Chicken & Asparagus Stir-Fry.

You may like to make use of your lemon pressed olive oil and salt flakes to try out Parmesan Asparagus Spears and BBQ Fish with Asparagus & Rocket yourself. And Chicken & Asparagus Stir-Fry shows how asparagus can make a stir-fry special in minutes, with fresh ginger, chilli sauce and coriander adding zing and macadamias adding crunch.

Fresh Australian asparagus is perfect for spring and summer eating. Asparagus shines in light and bright dishes from spring soups and stir-fries to summer salads and barbecues. You'll find a host of quick and easy asparagus meal ideas at www.asparagus.com.au. It would be great if you could direct consumers to this site where they can also enter our monthly recipe competition and Cool Kids Club competition and win prizes.

For additional CDs, or to obtain fresh asparagus for photography or for your show, please do not hesitate to contact us.
