Well we all completed race for life and we did it within the target 30 mins and raised about £300 for Cancer research, so thanks to the team for entering into the spirit of it all. We did run in our “Your Chef” uniforms so if saw us let us know…
We all went back to school for the day on Wednesday….well college actually to renew our Food Hygiene certificates so you can be sure you are in safe hands when we cater for you.
Our weekly culinary note has to include Jersey Royal potatoes, a personal favorite I have to say. Cook them in lightly salted water until cooked and then leave them to cool for 5 minutes. Toss in some olive oil and freshly chopped garden herbs and serve with a mixed leaf salad and a piece of grilled salmon…perfect summer tea. Also still in season is beetroot, peel and roast then drizzle with some balsamic syrup when almost ready.
Someone sent me this recipe this week and it does make THE most fabulous cookies so please try it.
