Here are 5 tips for a perfect May — 5 things to do or have in your house.
Seasonal fruit
Wake body and mind from winter with a carrot and ginger smoothie: fresh, seasonal ingredients full of vitamins and anti-cancer properties, a real blessing for the body.
Healthy recipes
Cook with seasonal vegetables, too. May brings plenty of asparagus: steam it and serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a young red wine such as Chianti.
White wine
Keep white wine on the table and in the pantry: serve it cool at dinner, or as an aperitif on the porch. Choose Pinot, Dessert wine or Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
Flowers
May's flowers are daffodils, calla lilies, roses, wisteria and poppies. Pick a centrepiece with seasonal flowers — roses are easy to find, last long, and give the table a romantic touch.
Ticket
There is still time in May to book your spring and summer holidays. Pick a place with beautiful landscapes, food and good wine, and art to admire. Italy has always been a popular destination, with its history, natural beauty and gastronomic culture.
