Our Mission? Deli Wraps!
We were recently challenged by Mission Deli Wraps to liven up our lunches, for our task Mission has teamed up with Sacla Squeezy Pesto and Galbani Mozzarella, which along with our fillings of choice should provide the perfect ingredients partners to get our lunchtime tastebuds tingling.
Nanna’s Toffee Recipe
Many recipes have ingredients lists long enough to put you off making the dish. My nanna’s toffee recipe isn’t like that. Only four ingredients are necessary and the whole process of making the toffee can be done in less than 10 minutes.
13 Uncommon Uses for 13 Common Ingredients
When all else fails, learn new ways to use old favourites. That’s how I approach food ruts – cooking the same ol’ thing week after week.
The Growler, aka Pork Pies
I haven’t a clue why this food is a Pork Pie in Leicestershire and a Growler in Yorkshire. Lest I neglect another name, I should mention that growling is induced anytime someone calls these growlers/pork pies a Melton Mowbray. As a result, I shall steer clear of that particular designation.
Nottinghamshire Pie
Beef and Stilton cheese represent a combination classic and deliver outstanding flavours. Because it’s easy to make and tastes great, Nottinghamshire Pie is the perfect dish to add as an Easy Beef Recipe in your personal cookbook collection.
Welsh Cakes
These traditional Welsh Cakes would normally be baked on a baking stone over a fire. In fact, the Welsh name for these cakes is ‘pice ar y maen’ which translates to ‘cakes on the stone’.
Bakewell Tart
Without doubt, the Bakewell Tart is one of my favourites. The intense flavour of almond teases that joyful ‘yum’ sound from my mouth every time I take a bite of this deliciously satisfying sweet treat.
Cheshire soup
Some parts of Cheshire are considered among the most affluent parts of the UK. Naturally, I had high expectations as to what Cheshire may have in store for us.
Brioche Burger Buns
let me point out that more often than not, the success of any burger is more about what accompanies the meat patty. I’m talking about the filling – cheese or no cheese, salad, mayo, bacon – then figuring out what pairs perfectly with what and which ingredients may just get lost in the mash up. One thing is for sure, you needn’t worry about the bun your burger is nestled in, because these little butties are fantastic!
Manchester Tart
The Manchester Tart made regular appearances in the 1980s for me, featured as it was on my weekly school dinner menu. I’m guessing it showed up often because a jar of jam, some Bird’s instant custard, and a pastry case were cheap to source and made for a quick and simple dessert to satisfy herds of hungry little faces.
