HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us at Burdfields.
We should be grateful that there should be an abundance of root vegetables which make excellent soups and broths and combine with cheaper cuts of meat to make delicious casseroles. All being well, Spring Greens, should start to become available as well as early forced rhubarb. Good, simple, comforting, wholesome food is what’s needed after the indulgence of Christmas. We have some Spring Greens, Lettuce and Romanesque Broccoli (tennis ball size).
Organic Seville oranges, or Sours, should be available, which is the bitter orange that has always been used for making marmalade but also makes a marvelous sauce for duck. We have plenty of recipes in the various cookery books in the tea room. A tablespoon of crushed coriander seed, tied in a muslin bag, allowed to boil with the peel, gives the marmalade a delicious flavour.
Don’t forget, we can order all sorts of things, in all sorts of quantities; from 25Kg to 1 Kg in wholefoods, flours, herbs, spices – just come in and ask. We package them in small quantities so there is no false economy for you, but we know that some people need more.
