JOY is when you find perfect sourdough in your nec

JOY is when you find perfect sourdough in your neck of the woods! Only 12 minutes from me and so worth the trip or a detour!!! @the_street_bakeshop is in Old Basing here in Hampshire and it’s open Tuesday-Sunday and my oh my it is gooooooood! Delicious sourdough and amazing cakes and sandwiches and coffee!! Bread is a key part of our family’s life and sourdough is so much better on your digestion due to the slow rise and ferment. Thank you Ollie @sequoiahairnewbury for the recommendation.

I love a tart! And this was a good one.... tenders

I love a tart! And this was a good one.... tenderstem and wild garlic. If you can’t get wild garlic it doesn’t matter - just use fresh herbs like parsley and chives. I’ll put the recipe on the website just as soon as I’ve typed it up.

I wish I had written a letter to HRH Prince Philip

I wish I had written a letter to HRH Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh to thank him. Without the DofE Award scheme which he founded in 1956 to give students an opportunity to attain standards of achievement and endeavour in a huge variety of activities including cooking I would not have had the professional guidance to set up Flora’s Kitchen or had the chance to meet so many inspiring participants.

My heart goes out to HM Queen Elizabeth II and all her family.

If like me you butterflied your leg of lamb for Ea

If like me you butterflied your leg of lamb for Easter Sunday lunch you might want to make a wonderful lamb stock? Maybe not 😂but here’s the recipe that can be used for beef bones too! If you got your butcher to do it maybe he gave you the bones?
Roast off the bones and any scraps in a preheated oven (230*C) until browned - I used the top right oven of my @aga_cookers - for about 20 mins. Then I smeared over the preserving juice from a tin of toms I’d used for something else but you could use tomato purée. I Added a couple of roughly chopped red onions (including their skin), 3 roughly chopped and washed large carrots and 3 washed and roughly chopped large stalks of celery. I roasted these for another 10-20 mins again just to brown not burn! I tipped all this into a big stock pot and filled the pan to the brim with cold water. Added a couple of bay leaves, a tbsp of black peppercorns, some thyme and parsley stalks and brought to a simmer. Skimmed the scum. Transferred to the bottom right simmering oven (150*C) and forgot about it for about 8 hours. Strained through a chinois/conical strainer / sieve into a big bowl. Allowed to cool. Removed the fat. Put into Tupperware and labelled. Use stock to make the gravy or freeze to add to sauces, soups, risotto, gravy!
