Cherry Day Special - Part 1 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Cherry Day cometh! So too does a glut of wonderful fresh local produce. This year the Community Orchard Group are giving us all the opportunity to share our “tastes of summer” in their recipe competition on Sunday 22 July in Park Farm Orchard. There is so much on offer this time of year either that you have grown yourself or available on our doorsteps. I am sure you all have your own favourite summer recipe. Why not share it? Perhaps you have a story about your favourite dish that you could share too. Maybe it is a family favourite or something that has always been a part of your summer memories. It doesn’t have to be anything exotic. Food provokes many memories and considerable enjoyment. What’s in season for Cherry Day? There is a plethora of fresh local produce available to us at this time of year. To help get those creative juices going, here are some examples:
* Seasonal fish as recommended by the Marine Conservation Society, who publish numerous guides at modest prices. They also host a very informative guide to fish that you find in shops and what to look for - Fish Online. My list is by no means exhaustive but I hope it gives you some idea of the treasure trove of tastes awaiting us. I highly recommend a trip to any of our local farm shops. I can’t resist them and find shopping in them a joy. As an example of what this seasonal produce can offer, I stuck a pin in the list and luckily for me I hit “sea bream” (a favourite). |
