weekend and hunt out some wild garlic (just starting

SOUR CHERRY
Start the day - Grate Chegworth Beauty apples

HONEY SAGE DRESSING
Infuse 75ml light olive oil by gently frying several sage leaves and a
few slivers of garlic in it until they impart their flavour. Pass through a
sieve and whisk in 25ml of sherry vinegar, 2 tsp of good flavoured
honey and sea salt. Use over roasted roots. -
SPICED BUTTER
To 125g of soft salted butter add 1 tsp each of three complementary
freshly ground spices. Try nutmeg, cinnamon and dried chilli to finish
off roasted pumpkin dishes or cardamom seed, turmeric and fenugreek
seed as a base for spiced rice or curries. Form into a roll, cut into about
12 portions and store in the fridge or freezer. -
SPICED HOT CHOCOLATE
A Warm Cuddle - Add a few crushed green cardamom pods,
some fennel seeds, pink peppercorns or mellow chilli flakes
to simmering milk and allow to infuse for five minutes before

and garlic until browned. Add a pinch of paprika and chilli
flakes then cook with tinned tomatoes. Season. Add al dente
