All Hallows Recipes

RECIPE: Hollandaise Sauce

RECIPE: Hollandaise Sauce

This recipe was discovered amongst a pile of old cookery books which lay hidden on a back shelf in a kitchen where I prepared lunch everyday. The method has never let me down since. I loved the fact that the sauce would only take moments before lunch was served,...

How to grow and cook with tarragon.

Most commonly available Russian tarragon is a perennial that is easy to grow and overwinter in the herb garden. It can be germinated by seed and also grown from a root cutting. However the aroma and flavour is not very strong and seems to lessen with age. However if...

What’s your favourite rose?
I love the simplicity of these crocus roses in the blue and white jug.
Do you love a riot of colour or prefer understated pastel shades?

What’s your favourite mint combo? Do you insist

What’s your favourite mint combo? Do you insist in adding a sprig of fresh mint to a pan new season boiled potatoes or would you rather scatter a few leaves alongside crumbled feta and melon to create a simple salad?
If you don’t already have a pot of garden mint growing beside the back door, it’s really easy to grow your own.
Simply encourage a few stems from your veg box or supermarket shop, to root in a jar of water on a sunny window sill.
Remove the bottom leaves so that you just have two sets remaining and pinch out the shooting tip. This will encourage root growth. With a sharp knife cut the steam just under the ‘bud’. This will look like a little notch. Place in cold water and replenish every day until you see roots appear. Plant each into a small pot of compost and continue to grow in a sheltered place until the mint becomes established and will flourish outside in a larger container beside your back door.

Fancy a fritter? We snipped eight large flower h

Fancy a fritter?

We snipped eight large flower heads and made a light batter to deep fry in flavourless oil.
Batter:
50 g rice flour
50 g cornflour
2 tablespoons ground nut oil
175 ml soda water
Mix and rest for 30 minutes

You will also need some caster sugar to shake over fritters to serve.

Whilst batter is resting, carefully shake any insects from the large flower heads and cut the umbels into bite size pieces.

Carefully heat oil and using flower stalk dip the petals into batter. Shake to remove excess and use tongs to drop into hot oil. Once it is puffy and golden, remove and drain on kitchen paper and serve warm with a dusting of sugar.

Full recipe is on our website.

Wasn’t it a fabulous weekend? Hope you had a great time?
Grace invited me to take a look at her growing flock which she cares for around full time study. I was totally inspired by her commitment and long term plans for her Dorset Poll sheep.
Grace mentioned that the @yorkshireshepherdess is definitely her biggest inspiration.
From a lockdown ‘project’ of two orphans that she bottle fed, Grace’s flock has already grown to 18.
Mum, Sally also shared a family favourite recipe for Monday Pie which her Grandmother kept from an @oxo cookery book. It’s similar to cottage pie but the leftover roast is just chopped instead of minced.
What’s your version of Monday Pie?

What are your plans for Bank Holiday Monday?

We are just about to make a gentle wake up call to each of our guests with a tray of coffee and breakfast muffins left outside their bedroom door.

After a very late night, they won’t be appearing for brunch for another hour or so!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? We can’t wait to join the @rspb_love_nature first ever Dawn Chorus Festival this Sunday.
Here in the Dorset countryside the birdsong is accompanied with calls from the pheasant and the coot that makes its home on the River Allen.
Will you be setting your alarm for 5 am this Sunday morning, or maybe just on your way home? Have a wonderful weekend.

What are your favourite spring greens?
We love watercress but I suppose we are slightly biased as it is grown locally to the farmhouse.
Always inspired by @mrssbilton generous posts, we are going to try her latest recipe suggestion for lunch.
Sam’s ideas always make us hungry.
What’s on your dinner plate today?

Do you prefer gently poached rhubarb to make a compote for breakfast? Or are you a fan of traditional crumbles and pies?
There’s no shortage of rhubarb in the garden at the moment and this buttermilk and cardamom tart definitely had a thumbs up.

We can’t quite believe it’s nearly closing time and there’s still quite a lot to tick off the list. Sound familiar?

This quick snap is a flash back from this time last year and the Lily of the Valley were already in full bloom.

Have a great evening and don’t work too late!
