Last day 🎿 with blue skies ☀️

Pasta workshop today was packed with great fresh pasta and sauces to go with it. Best part is the lunch and a glass of wine to finish. Great way to spend a morning! Lots of new classes up on my site as well as gift vouchers. Or book a private class for between 2-6 people. Suitable for teens too!

Last of the big orders today. Now on to mince pies and Yule logs. I have a couple of mini gf Xmas puddings going spare too. If you want one DM me. £5 each and very good for gluten intolerant friends and family! #christmasorders #mincepies #gingerbread #xmaspuddings #yulelogs #epsomcakes #surreychef #surreylife #xmascakemenu #christmasbaking

And another beautiful sunset 🌅

I’ve just been chatting to Lesley McCabe over on @bbcradiosurrey about my historical Surrey recipe challenge as part of #surreyday. The recipe I was asked to recreate by @localfoodbritain is “Bowe Mange” which was documented at @loseley_park. It’s name and the ingredients suggest it’s based on blancmange. Definitely something has has disappeared since the 70s and here it is brought into the 21st century with Reels. Panna cotta has since taken the popularity for set creams forward. But I love the flavours of almond and cinnamon which I added along with sugar to taste - as the recipe suggests. The only thing I would change is to add much less gelatin than the recipe suggest to give the perfect “just” set wobble. Have you got any old Surrey recipes to share? #surreyday #visitsurrey #surreylife #bbcradiosurrey #surreyrecipes #loselypark #blancmange #surreychef #locafoodbritain

Haven’t done a video for a while so here’s what he of me shaping one of tomorrow’s loaves. DM me if you’re interested in coming to one of my demos - starting up again in May. #sourdough #howtocookgoodfood #epsom #surreychef #wildyeast #thebakefeed #naturallyleavened #surreysourdough #realbread

On this menu month’s two course menu - banana sponge with this miso caramel sauce. I especially love the @misotasty white miso and can happily eat it straight from the jar. Works brilliantly to give caramel an enhanced flavour. Would have been good on last night’s pancakes 🥞. #misocaramel #howtocookgoodfood #epsom #surreychef #newmenu #dessertmenu #cheflife #surreyfood #feedfeed #thebakefeed #caramel
