17th September 2012
Knackered tonight - even dropped off in Lorraine Pascale’s Quick Fresh and Easy cookery programme so I missed most of it. But I know her recipes aren’t nearly as wonderful as the lunch I had today at Riverford Farm Kitchen with two delicious women for an early birthday treat.....sweet carrots with caraway, roast potatoes with long cooked fennel, cabbage with parmesan and a buttternut squash pie with feta and beetroot. Followed by a crumbly light chocolate almond torte streaked with raspberries - unforgettable....
At the Farm shop we find a bargain - huge organic red peppers on their way out with a few bad bits on them, but at five for a £1 we buy ten each. We talk recipes in the car on the way home - stuffed or roasted or chutnied? Tonight I lay some of them under the grill and blacken their skins - then blend them into a bright orangey red sauce with garlic and tomatoes.
Not hungry enough for supper though, so just gnaw at a piping hot sweeetcorn cob slathered in butter and speckled with black pepper.......which reminds my husband that we won’t have any sweetcorn this year - yesterday the badgers got through the clingfilm cage at the allotment, knocked down all his plants and chewed up the young cobs. The first licence to cull badgers was granted today in Devon....they say it'll be humane but I don't believe them....
