Pesto Swirls

Wild garlic or ransoms as also known can be found in woodland from April, its green leaves scented of garlic. Take care to select leaves that are undamaged and with no bird droppings! Always rinse and shake dry before preparing.

Thrifty Tomato Soup

Here’s an opportunity to clear out that larder and experiment. The perfect time to use up that morsel left in a bottle or jar: sweet flavours become tart fillings, savouries for pizza toppings, with chutneys, vinegars and chillies ideal for spicy soups. This thrifty tomato soup is highly adaptable to what you have at hand.

Brodies Tealoaf

Perfect on its own, as part of a nutritious packed lunch or with a wedge of creamy blue cheese. Like most baking it freezes well so I double this recipe, make slabs in large Swiss roll tins and cut in fingers. You can bake in a loaf tin if you prefer but cook for longer.

Tomme Raclette

Having experienced Swiss raclette in situ it is a favourite breakfast in our home…where a lot of artisan cheese is consumed! If you don’t have a little raclette kit like ours then grill your cheese.
After considerable, wonderful, edible research I can say we have established Ethical Dairy Tomme melts beautifully for this and is the ideal local cheese. See link below
Serve with your own or your favourite sourdough.
