The Parsonage Farm Spring Market - see what's out there!

One of the things I love about where we live is that there seems to be such a vibrant local food scene. Producers everywhere, support from a Community Interest Company, Hampshire Fare, which offers PR advice and networking opportunities for local food businesses (not to mention organising a huge food festival in July), famers markets, and, increasingly, smaller but no less important events bringing together food, drink and craft. It's a really great way of highlighting what's going on in the local area, and encourages people to think about whether they could get what they need from somewhere other than the supermarket or the internet. 

My friend, Peter Lane (he of the amazing pork pies) told me about the Parsonage Farm Spring Market when I met him a few months ago, and the date went straight into my diary. Parsonage Farm is, in their own words "a family-run business offering a warm and friendly service to all. We sell local, quality meat from animals raised on-site using natural, environmentally balanced and sensitive farming practices." Not only is the meat reared in a great environment, it is slaughtered at the Laverstoke Farm Abbatoir which is just down the road, and means that the animals hardly travel any distance when they finally get the chop. It's where Peter gets most of his meat from, and when you visit the farm and see the quality of the meat on offer, you can see why.

Not only do they sell their own meat, though, they have diversified in a number of ways, one of which are regular markets. Now, of course, it would have been rude not to check out their meat first (Peter having sold out of his pies by the time we actually managed to get to the market). We visited the butchers, where Mike the butcher was demonstrating his skills.

Mike demonstrating his butchery skills

Not only do they sell fresh meat, they have recently branched out in to charcuterie, and let me tell you, if you are into that sort of thing, it really is utterly delicious. We tried fennel & garlic, coriander, and red wine & garlic and couldn't decide between them so bought a bit of each one while we were there. Not that they will last long...

It wasn't just about the meat though. There were lots of fantastic foodie and crafty stalls and demonstrations going on. In particular, I was interested in The Hampshire Jam and Chutney Company . The stall was run by Sue Rockhill, and the jams and chutneys - well, sometimes I wonder why I bother sweating over my own jam pan...

I couldn't resist a pot of 'Dumpsie Dearie' jam made to an old Herefordshire recipe (with Hampshire ingredients), as it happens. Apparently if it had blackberries in it, it would be called High Dumpsie Deary jam. Fantastic name. Fantastic jam.

As you can imagine, I always have more than a passing interest in any cake stalls that are knocking around, and the Blackberry Cottage stall caught my eye. Not just cake, cake with hidden ingredients: beetroot, courgette, carrot, swede, spinach (yes, I am here to tell you that the spinach brownie I tasted was delicious). Alas, there was no swede cake left, but a beetroot chocolate loaf made a very excellent birthday cake for me to share with some friends

What's even more brilliant, there's a book coming out soon, so all those unloved veg box swede can be turned into more than mash or soup.

I will be looking out for that one.

While I was dribbling my way around the food stalls, the Husband and the kids were drawn magnetically to the woodturning skills of Chris Allen

While the children (and the Husband) were fascinated watching the man at work, I was talking traveller bouquets with his willing assistant. You can't really see them very well in the photo (on the shelving, in the pic above), but these are beautifully crafted wooden bouquets traditionally made by the traveller community from pieces of wood, peeling back thin strips in the same way as you might curl a ribbon when wrapping a present. There's a better pic on Oneday Woodcraft's facebook page. Simple and beautiful. I decided in the end to buy myself a spurtle, though. For porridge, and possibly rolling out pastry, although Pink thought it might have its place as a defensive weapon...

Finally, after all that nibbling and chatting, what better way to quench ones thirst than with a quirky cup of coffee. Actually the coffee wasn't at all quirky, but the cafe was. Allow me to present Colonel Grumpy's Coffee Bus:

Like everyone I spoke to at the fair, 'Colonel and Mrs Grumpy' have a story - and what a story! 

Colonel Grumpy (I forgot to ask his real name, so I shall assume the moniker he has assigned himself!) ended a distinguished career in the army spending 5 years as the Defence attache to Guatemala. Not wanting to return to a life of boredom, and wanting to do something to help the people of Central America, they bought an old bus from Indiana (yes, in the USA) on Ebay (yes really!), drove her to Guatemala, where she was renovated before they shipped her back to the UK where she now serves as a travelling coffee shop, selling Guatemalan coffee and crafts.


It was a fantastic afternoon - and so inspiring, talking to people so passionate about their products and what they do, be it a sports therapist now making and selling cakes after a chance conversation with a client whose daughter wouldn't eat veg, to a couple having a high old time selling coffee from a refurbished bus and raising awareness of Central American issues.

More importantly, though, coming to an event like this makes you appreciate what is on offer locally. As I get more and more insight into what's available around us, it has occurred to me that the supermarkets have achieved the greatest PR stunt ever - convincing us that we should buy from them rather than from our local suppliers. There is some fantastic produce out there (not just food, I hasten to add) and it is actually pretty easy to get your hands on it - local producers will deliver, or you can find their produce for sale in smaller retailers or from more regular markets. The vicious circle of the supermarket is that we never get the chance to see what is actually out there locally, so we carry on buying from them.  

I would be lying if I said that I have stopped buying from the supermarket. I don't always have access to a car, and a delivery of some products in some cases, where quality isn't necessarily an issue, does make economic and practical sense. However, with the help of organisations like Big Barn - with its handy postcode finder to show you where you can buy local produce, some investigations of my own and tip offs from friends, I am finding it much easier to buy my fresh food locally - and if the produce itself isn't local then using local shops to source it: fish for example, which I now buy through the butcher.

The thing is, that however much this Spring Market conjures up some kind of rural idyll, some kind of 'olde Englande', and however enjoyable it is to mooch around and taste a few things here and there, there's a serious point behind it. If there's something similar in your area, I'd really encourage you to make the effort to go - you might discover a whole world of amazing stuff being produced on your doorstep - be it meat, jam  - or spurtles

The Last Meal...

Today, my boy left home.

Not for long, you understand - just till Friday. His class are on the annual Yr 4 residential trip that the school run, spending time at a study centre on the south coast.

An amazing opportunity, he's been so excited about it - but nervous, too.

"I'm going to miss you, Mummy" is nothing to the number of times he has counted down the days, discussed the menu (a stroke of genius, that, sending the menu home a few weeks ago!), wondered about what he would be doing... To say that the moment of departure, of actual separation has been preying on his mind is an understatement - for this is what has been the problem for him. He has stayed away from us before - usually at his Granny & Grumpy's, usually with Pink, but not always. Apart from those times, I have been there when he has gone to sleep and when he has woken up almost every day. And now I won't be. He is going to have to go away. Once he is there, he will have a ball. But leaving is hard.

It's all part of growing up. I know that.

Last night, he sat at the table, and somewhat dramatically announced "This is the last meal I'm going to eat with my family".

I felt a little bit guilty - I had been preparing him for a welcome home dinner to end all welcome home dinners, then realised that our Bank Holiday camper van excursion would put paid to that - hard to prepare a roast on a 2 ring gas cooker... I quickly 'fessed up and offered him the choice of meals before he went.

So what did he choose? 

Roast lamb

Yorkshire pudding (I had to put aside my hang ups about only having Yorkshire pudding with beef)

Roast potatoes crisp with semolina, carrots and leeks.

And pineapple upside down cake.

This morning, there were no tears (from either of us), only far more hugs than I would ever normally get in the presence of his friends, and plenty of excitement. Already, this evening, there are photos on the class pages of his school website which suggest that he is having an 'epic' time - and this evening he is badger watching. In the words of every 9 year old, the country over - 'Awesome'. In the photos, he looks happy and relaxed.

I like to think that his 'last supper' contributed to that.

Health Benefits of Organic Food - Eat Healthy, Live Healthy (dhiraj kumar)

Making a commitment to healthy eating is a great start towards a healthier life. Beyond eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and good fats, however, there is the question of food safety, nutrition, and sustainability. How foods are grown or raised can impact both your health and the environment. This brings up the questions: What is the difference between organic foods and conventionally grown foods? Is "organic" always best? What about locally grown foods?

Organic Food
Organic foods are the farming products that are produced using methods that do not involve modern artificial inputs such as synthetic pesticide and chemical fertilizers. Organic food items are in their most natural form and never been processed by means of irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. These food products are produced in a manner that limits the use of synthetic materials during production.

Although organic foods have no unsafe chemicals and toxicants, but it does not conclude that organic production is return to traditional farming. Environmental science has contributed precise methods of non-toxic pest & disease control. Farm apparatus allows organic farming on a large scale to meet the growing demand for organic food items.

Benefits of Organic Food Items

Benefits of organic food items vary from health benefits to ecological rewards. Pesticides and toxic fertilizers are not used for organic farming, which result a healthier products with many benefits. The recognized benefits of healthy organic foods are:

* Consuming organic food items keeps us away from poisonous pesticides, toxics and herbicides, which can reduce the risk of cancer.
* Organic farming keeps pesticides out of streams and groundwater, thus it's very beneficial for environment.
* Organic food items are better in taste as there are no chemicals added to them.
* Irradiation is used on non-organic foods to kill bacteria and it alters the molecular structure and live properties of the food, which further affects the taste, quality of the food.
* Healthy organic food is safer to eat for babies and children. An average newborn baby has approximately 200 toxins in its body. Feeding them organic food items reduces the amount of toxins.
* Organic natural foods are more healthy and enriched with higher nutritional content, more vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and proteins.

These are the known benefits in general, but there are many more benefits which are still under study by various scientists and organizations. We might tell you about those in one of our future blogs.

Since the benefits of organic food items are becoming better known the demand has increased throughout the world. Even in India, the people are being concerned about the food they eat and are adapting organic food items for healthy living. We inspire India to steer towards online food shopping and go organic for healthy living. Organic food is not just better for you and your family, but for the entire planet.

Spices & Herbs to Spice up Indian Recipes (shivi roy)

Indian cuisine possibly uses more spices than any other cuisine in the world. Most commonly used spices &herbs like turmeric powder, chilli powder, and coriander seeds have gained an integral place in Indian recipes over a time. Not withstanding the rising prices of Indian spices in international food markets, the demand is consistently increasing with time.

Turmeric is used most prominently to cure pain and chilli helps to improve the metabolism rate of a body.

For instance, if you are roasting a chicken, the first thing that comes to your mind is its spicy taste and aroma, this comes with spices like chilli powder, paprika, ground coriander seed, ground cumin, ground pepper etc. Vegetable curries in India are unfinished without the essence of curry powder that bestows tangy, hot and amalgamating flavors to your cooking recipes. A good cook should know the versatile flavors of spices; this quality makes him or her to use spices for enhancing the taste of the Indian recipes. The most of the spices, which have been used since the very beginning, are originated in various regions of south India. However, some non-traditional ingredients like paprika, Mexican chillies, soy sauce, sage, thyme, lemon grass, sambal paste, wasabi, and tarragon also compliment Indian cuisine with its aroma.

In India, most of the people usually store spices at their homes and use it in almost every homemade recipe and even in tea. It is suggested that to preserve the good quality of spices, one must store it in airtight containers in a dark, cool, dry location. Keep all spices and herb away from heat. Heat, air, and excessive light cause the aromatic oils in the herbs and spices to evaporate which in turn destroys the pleasant flavor we so desire.

Food for Kids: Easy Chicken Katsu with Yasai Itame Recipe (Stephen John)

If you are worried that your kids may not be getting the right nutrition from those store-brought chicken nuggets, hotdogs, mac 'n' cheese, cereals, and oats, you can try other recipes that will be inviting to a child's picky palate. Putting in a bit of veggies into their meals will create a balanced meal good for your child's health.

Chicken Katsu is a Japanese style fried chicken that is great with rice and some veggies on the side. Many kids enjoy this particular dish because it is easy to eat like chicken nuggets or fillet. Here is an easy recipe for Chicken Katsu with Yasai Itame or stir-fried vegetables that will be different yet healthier and delicious for your kids.

Ingredients:
- 4 pieces or 5 lbs. of skinless chicken breast fillet
- garlic powder
- flour
- 2 eggs
- Japanese breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
- salt and pepper

For the Yasai Itame:
1 sliced medium onion
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
100 grams beansprouts
500 grams Julienned carrots
1 tbsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons oil

Cooking Directions:

1. For the Chicken:
- Lightly pound the chicken breast fillet with a mallet to flatten. Cover the chicken with a plastic wrap while you pound the chicken. Flatten to about 4 x 3 inches.
- Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Prepare the flour in a separate container. Prepare breadcrumbs in a separate container as well.

- Using a kitchen thong, coat each piece of flattened chicken with flour, dip in eggs, and coat again with breadcrumbs. Make sure that the chicken is fully coated with the breadcrumbs.
- In a frying pan, heat oil and fry each piece of chicken in medium heat until golden brown.

2. For the Yasai Itame:
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Combine all ingredients and stir-fry until ingredients are soft and tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Finishing Touches: Using a knife, cut the chicken into strips. Serve with steaming hot rice, Yasai Itame, and add store-brought Tonkatsu Sauce or ketchup for some flavoring.

If you prefer other meat like pork or beef, you can simply replace the chicken with the meat of your choice and follow the same steps. Fish is also a healthier choice.

This recipe will only take a couple of minutes of your time and will be even more enjoyable when you include your kids in the preparation. They can help in coating the chicken, setting the table, and mixing some orange juice, iced tea or lemonade that will go well with this meal. As easy as it is to prepare store-brought chicken nuggets, hotdogs, and microwaveable meals, they don't always provide the good nutrition that you child needs. Investing in their health and increasing your presence by cooking a special meal for them will be valuable for you and your family.

5:2 Friday #4

My last weekend was full of wine, cake and delicious things culminating in more cake and wine on Monday - my birthday. I nearly decided to just chuck in the diet towel - for the week at least, but fortunately, I got a grip of myself and resolved to make up for all the indulgence. It's one thing fasting on 2 days and eating 'sensibly' on 5, quite another to engage in the gratuitous scoffing that went on...



So yes, where was I? Skinny food. Definitely not cake.

Fast Day 1

Breakfast: 1 Sainsburys whole wheat biscuit (a Weetabix, if you prefer) with 100 ml milk and 50g grated apple (you don't really need to see a picture of that, do you?) 140 cals

Lunch: Roasted butternut squash and blue cheese salad - much more exciting:

Served with some green salad including the fruits of our watercress growing experiment.
Approx 160 calories

Home grown watercress!!

Dinner: A mushroom omelette made with a small finely chopped onion, 100g sliced mushrooms and 2 large eggs. I ate it with a pile of rocket - I love veg box delivery days - and soem more watercress. Approx 200 calories.

Total for the day - about 500 calories

Fast Day 2

For reasons that I may or may not get round to telling you about (it's nothing mysterious) my second fast day went from 2 p.m. Thursday to 2 p.m. Friday (basically so I could eat cake on a course on Thursday, and have wine on Friday night).

Dinner (on Thursday evening) Cod grilled with a tomato and olive sauce which is something I tweaked from a Good Food favourite, plus a big green salad. Approximately 200 calories

Breakfast: A weetabix and 100ml semi-skimmed milk 116 calories

Post dog walk: black coffee and a banana. 95 calories. 

Lunch: 2 slices of prosciutto and a bowl of rocket. 86 calories

Total for the Day: 497 calories

Chicken Under a Brick - a Random Recipe

Yes, you read it right.

Chicken Under a Brick. Not in it. Definitely under it. Actually, it was 2 poussin, if we're being strictly accurate.

Using Dom's random recipe number generator for this month's Random Recipe challenge, book 26 turned out to be Nigellisima, page 90 was Chicken Under a Brick.


I was really pleased that Nigellisima was the chosen book - despite receiving it at Christmas, I have done little more than salivate my way through it. I wasn't going to use the random number generator to choose the page too, but it fell open far too conveniently at the olive oil chocolate cake which I have been considering for some time now, so in order to enter into the true spirit of the challenge, I went the whole hog, put the number of pages in the generator, and ended up with poussin.

I've never cooked poussin before. Little birds remind me of a time in France when many pigeons were served up on a platter in front of me. All those little bodies. My 17 yr old self was unable to contemplate it.


My nearly 41 yr old self was far happier with the idea, and a quick conversation with my butcher secured me 2 little bodies. Just right for my almost 41st birthday dinner.

The brick bit is quite interesting - you have to spatchcock the birds (easily done with some heavy duty kitchen scissors) and marinade them in lemon zest and juice, thyme, chilli, garlic and oil, and the brick (covered in foil) then holds them flat in the pan when you cook them, first on the hob and then in the oven. It also, apparently, gets the skin crispy. The recipe isn't on line anywhere but if you google Nigella's chicken under a brick, you'll get a good idea of what's involved!

I also got to use my rather smart neon pink tongs for removing the birds from the marinade, turning them half way through cooking, and for general poking about in the pan. It's the little things, you know...

To go with, I decided to have a Nigella blow out. We had a butternut squash in the veg box, and Express has a rather tasty affair involving blue cheese and pecans with roasted squash.  

On the plate together, a tasty and colourful dinner:

The poussin were absolutely delicious. I followed the recipe to the letter, with no variations apart from not marinading it for as long as Nigella suggests (because I had overlooked that part of the recipe) but 2 hours was fine. The only thing I'd do differently next time is leave out the salt from the marinade, but otherwise, the meat was just beautifully tender, with loads of lovely juices. This would be perfect on a BBQ as well.

I have to say that had I not randomly chosen this recipe, I would have looked at it and mentally filed it as too involved - simply because of wrapping a brick in foil, it would seem. I did also have a residual concern about the strength of the shelves in my oven. Having now cooked it, I will definitely do it again - so what do I know? Matthew Fort reviewed Nigellissima for the Guardian's Word of Mouth blog last September commented that recipes in the book that 'tempt the most are the most straightforward' and he cites this one as an example of that. He's right. 

I don't often stack up my blog challenge entries but as well as Dom's challenge, I can't resist adding this to the current Forever Nigella challenge with the theme of 'colourful', hosted by Elizabeth at A Girl in her Kitchen for Sarah at Maison Cupcake

and also to Karen's Herbs on Saturday, hosted by Karen herself this month, because both the poussin and the butternut squash recipes (which are admittedly Nigella's and not my own) have thyme in them, adding to the flavours.

Antioxidant Granola

I have a confession to make.

Within about 3 to 4 days my family and I finished the whole batch of granola. Making your own granola is so easy and delicious! Homemade granola is a lot more healthier too because you can control what goes into it. This granola recipe is filled with antioxidants from the nuts, dark chocolate and dried cranberries. Antioxidants are an essential part of our diet and can help keep a beautiful complexion. Try making this for mom for Mother’s Day with some greek yogurt or milk. Surprise her with breakfast in bed, she will love it (you just might need two spoons)!

2 cups rolled oats

¾ cup shredded coconut

½ cup unsalted cashews

½ cup silvered almonds

2 tbs. pumpkin seeds

1 tbs. honey

2 tbs. vegetable oil

½ cup real maple syrup

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

pinch of sea salt

¼ cup chopped dried cranberries

¼ cup dark chocolate bits



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the rolled oats, coconut, cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, sea salt and cinnamon to a large bowl. Mix all of those ingredients together. In a separate dish combine the honey, vanilla, vegetable oil and maple syrup. Pour the maple syrup mixture on the oats and nuts. Stir to combine. Bake all of the ingredients on the baking sheet in a single layer. Stir the granola occasionally so that it doesn’t burn. Cook for about 40 minutes or until the granola turns a nice golden brown. Let the granola cool completely and then add the dark chocolate and dried cranberries.

Happy Eatings!

Raspberry Polenta Cake - Forever Nigella 25

The sun! What a glorious thing it is to cast off the tyranny of winter. This seems to have happened all of a sudden too - one minute damp, gloomy, miserableness and then all of a sudden SUNSHINE. The bats are back in the garden at dusk and I heard a cuckoo while I was out walking the dog in the early morning. I want to cast caution to the wind, shave my legs, paint my toenails and swish about in a dress and flipflops for the next 6 months. I might even add a sunhat, just for good measure.

Can you tell I'm in a good mood?

So anyway, one of the things that happens round here when the sun comes out is that everyone gets more sociable than usual, and our plans for a quiet Saturday evening were thrown out of the window with an invite for a general get together with some friends.

Beer, a fire pit, marshmallows. What could be better? 

My contribution was a hastily rustled up cake, loosely based on Nigella's rhubarb cornmeal cake from Domestic Goddess. Based on the fact that I had no rhubarb, but plenty of rasperries in the freezer, I adapted heavily: used the raspberries pretty well frozen, replaced cinammon with the zest of a lemon (I happen to know for a fact that the Goddess would approve of the rasp/lemon combo), used self raising flour rather than plain (none in the cupboard) 0% fat Greek yoghurt rather than bio yoghurt. I also used a rather unconventional cake making method, having mixed up all the dry ingredients including the sugar together in a bowl as a result of recipe-blindness, leaving me nothing to cream my butter with. Not that I'd necessarily recommend it as a method, but there doesn't appear to have been any harm done.

And the colours - well gorgeous - a rich yellow batter partly from the cornmeal, and partly from the eggs that the chickens obligingly produced, studded with the deep ruby raspberries, and that was just before it was cooked... 

Just right for this month's Forever Nigella, hosted by Elizabeth at A Girl in Her Kitchen for Sarah at Maison Cupcake, with the theme 'colourful'.

Raspberry Polenta Cake



500g frozen raspberries
300g caster sugar
150g self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
zest of a lemon, finely grated
155g fine polenta
2 large eggs
1tsp vanilla extract
75g soft unsalted butter and 50g Stork margarine 
250g 0% fat Greek yoghurt

23cm Springform cake tin, buttered and lined

Pre-heat the oven to 180C



Mix together the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, bicarb, salt, lemon zest and polenta). Whisk together the eggs and the vanilla. Beat together the butter and marg till soft and fluffy then add in the egg mixture a little at a time, After each addition, add a little of the dry ingredient mix to prevent the egg curdling. Once the eggs are added, alternate between yoghurt and the rest of the dry ingredients mix until everything is just mixed. Fold in the raspberries (still frozen) and bake. This is quite a long process - Nigella's original cake is supposed to take 1hr in total, but I remember it taking longer when I followed the recipe. My version, well, I checked after 40 minutes and covered the tin with foil to stop the cake catching, then checked again at an hour. I gave it another 20 minutes, then an additional 15 minutes. And then 10 minutes more...

The resulting cake had quite a crisp outside layer as a result of the lengthy cooking, but a lemony cake inside with a lovely raspberry layer at the bottom.

The general consensus was that the crispy outside was a pretty good contrast with the inside of the cake, and all in all pretty good.

And with a good dollop of cream it was really rather good.

And after chilli, and cake, we lit a bonfire, let the kids rampage around the fields next door to the garden and watched the moon. Perfect.
