If you read my other blog, you’ll know I cycled down to the farm shop this morning to buy broccoli. Andy in the farm shop asked me what I was going to do with it, so I said I was going to make broccoli and stilton soup with theContinue Reading
Truckle Cheese Co’s Oak Smoked Cheddar is naturally smoked over oakwood chips and made from milk produced on West Country farms. I had some today in a sandwich, along with cucumber, tomato, sprouts and mayonnaise. The deep oak flavour of the cheese went beautifully with the fresh, crispness of theContinue Reading
