Quick photo from the weekend: unpacking ingredients ready to cook a three course meal at Halstead Green Farm holiday cottage near Hebden Bridge. This special hen party meal involved catering to a list of food intolerances… the bride-to-be was thrilled to have a full meal that both she and everyone else could share, with no worries about ingredients or being made to feel awkward about dietary needs.

To start:
▪︎warm local artisan sourdough bread with balsamic dip
▪︎pan fried king prawns and king oyster mushrooms with crisp cos lettuce, with a drizzle of balsamic glaze

Main:
▪︎maple syrup marinated salmon side with lightly roasted potatoes – all warm and fresh from the oven
▪︎crisp salad platter: eggs, lettuce, cucumber, sweet peppers, fennel, celery, blood orange and grapes plus a variety of dips

To finish:
▪︎apple and blackberry ‘oatle’ – like a crumble but with a butter-free granola topping, served with sorbet or ice cream
