Recipe: Pommes Boulangère


During my week of seasonal eating one of my favourite French recipes managed to squeeze its way onto the line-up, although I did stick to my UK-only rule for its ingredients. Pommes Boulangère is a classic French dish, firmly falling into the category of home-cooking (and literally translating to mean potatoes in the style of the baker's wife), and in little need of adaptation. However, I've got a hungry boy to feed so sliced potatoes, onions and stock just doesn't cut it in my house. I added some flecks of bacon, a generous helping of Somerset Brie, and some super fresh, local runner beans on the side...

Recipe: Summer Vegetable & Potato Salad

I picked up some great minted lamb burgers from Radmore Farm Shop on Chesterton Road a few days ago and thought a mix of seasonal vegetables and "second early" season potatoes, such as the waxy Charlotte variety, would be a fitting accompaniment. The home-reared meat supplied to the shop from a small, family-run farm in Northamptonshire, made fantastic burgers - substantial, chunky and containing good quality, lean meat and very little else. Next time I'd like to buy some of their fresh lamb mince and try making my own.
