Urgent Allergy Alert. We are advising people who have a peanut allergy to avoid consuming foods or drinks that contain or may contain mustard, mustard powder or mustard flour.

These mustard ingredients can be found in food such as dips, sauces, salads and pre-packed sandwiches.

The FSA is urgently working with the relevant Local Authorities, individual businesses and industry to identify which products may be affected. We have traced the contaminated mustard ingredients to a producer in India and have identified one company who has supplied these ingredients for use in UK food.

As a precaution, we are advising consumers who have an allergy to peanuts to avoid consuming any foods or drinks that contain or may contain mustard. If mustard is present in a food, it will be labelled in bold on the packet because it is an allergen itself. If there is a risk that mustard could be unintentionally present in food there will be a ‘may contain’ label for mustard.

If you are eating out, please ask the cafe or restaurant staff if any of their products contain mustard – by law, food businesses must provide this information to customers.

Did you see my post earlier about meat?

Here is a simple family supper elevated to restaurant standard just by using good quality produce.

Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be next level good. Remember it is really just the application of heat to outstanding produce!

🍺 🍰 Are you a business working within the food & drink industry in the Sherwood Forest/North Notts area, I would like to invite you to the first Nottinghamshire Food & Drink Tourism Network Meeting at Creswell Crags on 17th September. 🍕 ☕

🥗 Food & Drink is now a fundamental consideration for visitors in choosing destinations and an integral part of their stay. In particular, interest in tasting local food and drink with a story behind it is booming and developing your food tourism product has the potential to generate additional revenue for your business/organisation and for Nottinghamshire's local economy. 🍞

The purpose of this initial meeting is to:

* Start to bring organisations and businesses together to network.
* Discuss what the main challenges and opportunities are relating to the world of Food & Drink.
* Discuss the opportunities around Food & Drink tourism

I have asked our County Council Trading Standards team to attend who can provide advice on (but not limited to):

* The provision of allergen information
* Identifying requirements relating to food and drink labelling
* Food packaging
* Single use plastics
* Weights and measures
* Age restricted sales
* Support to ensure that websites, marketing information and product descriptions are compliant with legislation
* Product safety
* Development of internal procedure and systems

Our Business Support and Sustainable Food Economy teams will also be in attendance.

Places are limited. Please let me know if you would like to attend by emailing [email protected]. Feel free to contact me to ask any questions you may have.

Let’s talk about ingredients, particularly meat.

As with everything you get what you pay for……or do you?

We all fall into the ease trap. Life is busy and supermarkets are convenient and very often cheaper than a butcher. However the meat is usually lower quality and not been treated well post slaughter. How often have you cooked a pack of mince from the supermarket and ended up with a pan full of flaccid meat and liquid? This is because it’s not been traditionally butchered. There’s no point paying half the price if you’re only getting half of the useable volume!

Good quality, well butchered meat will give you much more in the long run and thus be more cost effective. A traditional butcher will be able to give you advice on using the cheaper (and more flavourful) cuts……you don’t get that from a supermarket fridge!

We’re lucky enough to have some great producers around us. This beautiful stewing beef is from A traditional country butcher, who pride themselves on the quality of their products. I chatted for a good half hour with Adam the owner this morning about different animals, meats and joints and learnt a huge amount that will improve my cooking going forward.

Search out your local butcher, befriend them and elevate your food at home. You won’t be sorry!

Everyday is a school day as a small business owner!

Today’s lesson……trust your gut!

So I had a message asking about baking ( I can bake I’m not a baker) which I declined and recommended 2 other fabulous local businesses.

Gut instinct told me something was off when I received a reply. A quick google search of the number reveals that they are serial requesters for baked goods, waster of small business owners time and low level scammer!

Trust your gut, it can smell when something is a bit off!

Summer Recipe Collection: Panzanella

Quite possibly my favourite salad!

This Tuscan inspired tomato and bread salad is fabulous with grilled meat or fish but is also robust enough to eat as a standalone dish.

Enjoy!
