I haven’t found a recipe I like so here goes. 3kg strawberries, 1.5g granulated sugar and 1.35g jam sugar, 450 ml lemon juice and then 200ml elderflower cordial (which I have made already). Recipe on next page.

I am getting prepared. Cheddar strawberries in the main. Then maybe some herbs in some? Some thoughts on not using my herbs enough, but when they go to flower the bees love them – so no issue. Basic recipe below.

1kg strawberries; 1kg caster sugar; 1/2 tsp citric acid. Juice of one lemon. Hod the strawberries and bring pan to boil stirring the mix to dissolve the sugar. Heat to 105C – I have a thermometer now, but otherwise use saucers that have been in the freezer for 30 minus to test how runny it is. Strawberry Jam is actually quite difficult as it has difficulty in setting! And then what to add – I am tempted by chopped lemon verbena? And maybe a touch of apple to add a little pectin.

Mouth watering already Salmon, cucumber and avocado,

Basic dough is 150g self-raising flour; 80g butter, splash of olive oil, pinch of salt and 50g cheese plus 25g to top before cooking for 10 min at 220C. I think dough in fridge for 30 minutes might be good?

Variations with types of cheese, I think a little parmesan. Then divide the dough and add separately basil, rosemary, garlic, pepper, chilli, lemon zest, parsley, mint(Moroccan), mint (ginger). Dust with smoked paprika and sesame seeds? Recipe below for added inspiration/experiment. Get the variants ready before hand – all finely chopped. To make all options and combinations I might double up basic ingredients for the dough.

Totally worth the money just for the food supplement – Feast.
