Wild Garlic Recipes Time Again Hurrah. It’s that time of year again when our Wild Garlic leaves are vigorously pushing through the soil in our garden, so I decided to trawl through our cookbooks and the internet for some new Wild Garlic Recipes. Erik is threatening to pinch all the leaves to make Wild Garlic pesto […]
Tales from Our Kitchen Garden The weather in East Yorkshire hasn’t been so bad – no hurricanes or floods or horrendous weather conditions like that – but it has been very wet, slightly frosty with little bits of sunshine. Yesterday (the day of the Tour de Yorkshire beginning), our weather decided to give us almost […]
I promised I would report back on how my Jerusalem Artichokes with Bay Leaves turned out. First, I chickened out – I decided to par-boil my Jerusalem Artichokes for a few minutes before I followed the Jamie Oliver recipe. This seemed to work, re: the ‘wind’ factor. Plus I had to add another good splash […]
It’s that time of year again for us Kitchen Gardeners – time to dig up those prized Jerusalem Artichokes and concoct or create some tasty and nourishing recipes to share with family and friends. I planted my weird looking, knobbly artichokes early last spring – then the plants grew to about 12 foot tall, and were […]
I think it’s going to be ‘Comfort Food’ weather for quite some time in East Yorkshire. Spared from the ravages of rain and high seas that the rest of the UK has suffered since Christmas, we should be thankful, but it’s still a bit damp and grey and soggy in Hornsea. Looking for some inspiration […]
The blue colour is for the sky that I hope to be shimmering over us this weekend (fingers crossed as ever in this part of the world!) What with Cousin Martie from New Zealand staying, and oldest son, Nicola (his partner) and their three children venturing over to Hornsea, we need some sunshine this weekend. […]
What did I decide to cook on one of the few glorious sunny weekends we have had in the UK this year? I had planned an (almost) Italian themed meal, using our beloved Beehive Terracotta oven, which usually snuggled under our garden tent, as if protecting itself from the monstrous rivulets of monsoon rain that seem […]
Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes Recipes I call this recipe for Greek Lemon Roasted Potatoes by another name really. I call them Greek Lemony Potatoes. Chopped, then thrown into a big bowl and mixed with good Olive Oil, lots of thyme, bay leaves, rosemary etc, lemon zest and juice, a pinch of sugar and a […]
Jansson’s Temptation Recipe This Jansson’s Temptation Recipe ends up as a rich, creamy dish, similar to a Gratin Dauphinois, but with the slightly salty addition of anchovies and onions. It is quite a substantial dish, and goes beautifully with Lamb, Chicken or Pork – but beware if you put too many anchovies in. Try and […]
Slow Roasted Shoulder of Lamb Recipe This is how I chose to cook a Shoulder of Lamb the other day. Having earned my AGA ‘brownie points’ by working in the AGA shop that used to exist in Beverley some years ago (and been lucky enough to acquire my AGA with Staff Discount) this is one […]
