Today we want to show you how we're extending our summer season with fresh produce from the GreenBox and tackling this problem.

We've put together five delicious recipes for you, all of which use fresh vegetables, herbs and mushrooms straight from your GreenBox. From the living room straight into the kitchen - it doesn't get much more regional than that.

This means you are always supplied with fresh herbs, vegetables, fruit and mushrooms and there are virtually no limits to your creativity.
