Well what an interesting mix of things we have done this week. On Wednesday I gave a talk on Dressings and Dips to Brigg District Farm Women’s club and it was very well received, many thanks to them for making me so welcome, and to Margaret for her kind words after the demonstration. On Saturday we catered a wedding in Scartho and the weather was absolutely perfect, they had a lovely garden party and it was a pleasure to be there. Wishing the newly weds every future happiness. A birthday buffet in the middle and a picnic delivery rounds off the week. I love the variety my weeks throw at me, never a dull moment at “Your Chef”.
A busy week ahead, we are catering the RAF Elsham reunion celebrations all next weekend and it is always a lovely weekend, makes me feel very proud of the veterans and what they did for us all. There will be entertainment provided and I’m sure they will all have a great time.
For this weeks recipes I decided to give you a couple of dressing recipes that went down very well with the Farm Womens club, with the warm evenings upon us it is almost warm enough to be Al Fresco so I thought something along salad lines might go down well.
Maple Syrup Salad Dressing
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbs horseradish
4 tbsps red wine vinegar
5 tbsps olive oil
1 glove crushed garlic
Blitz together, drizzle over a leaf salad
Stilton or blue cheese dressing
50g/2oz blue cheese
1 tsp of mustard
100g low fat yoghurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper
Whisk all the ingredients together and serve over your salad or as a dip with crudités.
I hope you try the recipes they are both personal favourites of mine, if you do, let me know what you think, feedback is always appreciated.
As always if there is anything you would like to see, or any recipes or culinary dilemmas that you have do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you for reading, enjoy your week.
