Warm Summer Salad With Broad Beans
The combination of richly yolked organic hen’s eggs, crispy, salty pancetta and our new-season broad beans ensures that this protein-rich take on a Caesar salad is not only filling but wonderfully satisfying too. We love this as a quick mid-week supper dish, or piled onto big platters as part of a leisurely lunch on summer weekends.
Traditional Soda Bread With Homemade Butter
With no kneading or proving required, soda bread is the perfect loaf for those just beginning on a bread making journey. Quick and simple to put together, it is by no means a loaf exclusively for beginners. Prepare and bake if you are suddenly out of bread in the house, serve in hearty chunks with warm soup, or alongside smoked mackerel pâté, fresh salad leaves and pickled cucumber as a rustic starter. But without fail, the very best way to serve this delicious loaf is warm from the oven with generous layers of homemade butter – just as we do on our ARTISAN BREAD MAKING courses at our COOKERY SCHOOL.
Sweet potato and lentil bake
With their rich sweet flesh, sweet potatoes are a vibrant and versatile replacement for potatoes or squash in scores of dishes. They are packed with plenty of vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. They’ll cook a little faster than a conventional spud, which means they can be sliced and baked with no parboiling first. They have a light spiciness to their flesh which marries well with the harissa and cumin in the lentils. Please note, the tinned lentils do have a tendency to lump together in the tin; this is normal and once rinsed they separate again.
Chargrilled Asparagus with Crispy Hen’s Eggs & Herb Dessing
A favourite at our COOKERY SCHOOL, this simple recipe makes the most of one of our most cherished spring ingredients, asparagus. We love to serve this as a protein-rich breakfast, a first course at a dinner party or even as a light spring lunch with a glass of crisp white wine and slice or two of organic sourdough.
