In Season

A guide to the fruits and vegetables that are in season where you live, with nearby stores that carry them and recipes to use them in.

Three In Season screens: a home screen with fruits and vegetables in season near you, a detail page for apples, and a recipe for an apple kale salad.

Overview

Produce tastes better and costs less when it's in season, but most of us couldn't tell you what's in season this month. In Season answers that for where you are: what's at its peak right now, why, what it's good for, which stores nearby carry it, and a few recipes to use it in.

The first version was a universal app for Windows and Windows Phone, with an Android version on Xamarin, all sharing one MVVM layer and pulling from an ASP.NET Web API. These screens are the redesign. The idea is the same, but now everything is built around your location, so the season, the stores, and the recipes all match where you live.

Highlights

Seasons worked out by location and hemisphere, so "in season" means in season where you are
A page for each fruit and vegetable: its best months, flavor, nutrition, and why it's in season now
Seasonal recipes with ingredient checklists and step-by-step instructions
