To cheese or not to cheese?

Last weekend we had the pleasure of cooking for a 60th Birthday Party.

When we say cook, we mean marathon cooking session for 43 hungry foodies!

Using the best of British with produce from the Turnip Tops Veg Patch, all tummies where filled to the max.

The question came from a guest: "Cheese before the pudding?"

"Yes! Being a part French brand we follow the logical. End on sweet not savoury!"

Of course we took the opportunity to educate and showcase as our Cheddar of choice. No slabs of soap here people!

Celebrating something? In need of a gathering?

"HOW ARE WE COOKING THAT?"

Balmy late summer evenings, meat in the fridge, still warm enough to sit out....

Are we gonna fire up the BBQ just for 2?

Nope.

We are gonna light a firepit, use a grill or old pan and cook on the embers.

Not only getting all those smokey flavours & a good charr but also keeping you warm as you cook then dine.

As a rule, we like to think outside the standard & do things our way.

We go further, so you don't have to.

SUPPLY & DEMAND

Recently we posted about our Jam making frenzy.

Well, due to popular demand, we had to take it to the next level....

Enter, fully saleable & labelled Kent Plum Jam
by Turnip Tops!

Warm toast & lashings of this deep caramel sweet & fragrant Jam. Yum.

We know it's loved as our youngest fan, 3 year old D, is obsessed!

Kent truly is the Garden of England.

Watch this space for more excitement...

MANY MORE BREADS

Listen, we love Sourdough like anyone else.

We've done the whole thing from starter to making & baking.

Love it? Yes! But, many many more breads are out there people!

Being half French, we went the baguette route in preparation for an up and coming event.

These are begun with a 'pre-dough' left for 12 hours and then same mix again added to this 'pre-dough'.

Each stage left for 12 hours in the fridge to ferment & rise.

The result: the most amazing textured dough offering a tang & more fuller flavoured airy baguette with a yummy crust.

Of course, goes without saying that the Team at provide us with all our flour needs.

& his team are the VERY best at what they do. Not only producing top notch flour but also educating.

For all you newbies, don't worry about fancy doughs with carvings,flowers & fancy Dutch ovens.

Just get going, hands in with:
- Flour

Abundance

With wet nights & warm days, our 6 courgette plants are loving life.
Cropping 8 every 2 days at the moment, we need to keep up!
Courgettes lend themselves extremely well to an array of dishes thankfully, here is a simple supper or lunch.

Courgette & Potato Tortilla
6 Courgettes – cut into disks
6 medium sized waxy potatoes – cut into disks
2 fat cloves of garlic – smashed
1 large onion- sliced
1 bay leaf
6 Large Free Range Eggs
A good k**b of butter
Seasoning
 
1 – Roast off courgettes with salt & pepper until a slight colour. 200 C Fan for about 40 minutes.
2 – While roasting courgettes, put potato disks in a pan with butter, bay leaf, onion & smashed garlic. Season & sauté on low for 35 min.
3 – Once roasted, put the courgettes into the pan with potatoes etc & give it a good shake to mix all through.
4 – Beat eggs together and pour into a pan, making sure all the vegetables are in the egg mixture.
5 – Lid on for 10 -12 mins – cook till the top is set but not hard.
6 - Blast on high for 2 - 3 min to create a caramelised base, soon to be the top.
7 – Flip & serve warm or cold with some simple dressed leaves & chunk of bread!

FEASTING LUNCHES

Who doesn't love a roasted hunk of meat?!

A simple, delicious and much loved method of cooking.

We aways begin by allowing the meat to come to room temperature. Ensuring as much as possible an even thickness.

Seared and seasoned it's ready for the roasting tray.

Surround by seasonal vegetables & herbs and cook at a constant steady temperature.

Remembering to always allow the meat to rest prior to carving.

And always using the cooking pan for making the gravy.

Recently one of our clients requested the Ultimate Turnip Tops Sunday Roast for 40!

What a truly wonderful idea for any special occasion or just because.

A sure sign you are doing all you can for the bees as their song vibrates all around you.

Bees loves lots of different flowers 💐 but here on the Turnip Tops Veg Patch it's the Lavender & Buddleia that are humming the most.

On a separate note: wow are the courgettes coming on strong! 8 have been harvested already 💪

Not sure what to do with them?

Roast them off to render water.

Freeze or place in a sterilised jar with some Thyme & Garlic and fully cover in olive oil.
In oil they will keep for a month in the fridge.
