Swiss Chard Quiche

2 weeks ago by Katie

I don't know if I've told you before... but I LOVE swiss chard! It just so happens to be my all time favourite thing to grow and it tastes pretty amazing too. Funnily enough I had never even heard of it before growing it back in 2013, the supermarkets don't te...

Butternut Squash and Bean Curry

3 months ago by Katie

I absolutely adore Nigel Slater and when I came across his Tender series I just couldn't resist buying Volume One (Volume Two is on my birthday wishlist!) I am so glad I did and I fully recommend it to everyone who grows their own vegetables! It's such a beaut...

Leek and Potato Soup

4 months ago by Katie

I've not always been a lover of leeks but ever since I've been growing my own I have created a new obssession, now I just can't get enough of them! Last year after I had harvested my potatoes in August there was a large empty gap of soil, so off I went to the ...

Homegrown and Homemade: Pumpkin Cakes

8 months ago by Katie

Halloween seems so long ago already and I thought it was high time that I had a go at making some of those yummy pumpkin cakes. When I carved my pumpkin the day before halloween I kept all the pulp to one side and placed it in the fridge, the next day the poor...

The Red Cabbage Glut

9 months ago by Katie

Since owning my allotment I have ended up trying new foods and finding out that I do in fact like vegetables that I had previously turned my nose up at (I used to be extremely fussy!) Cabbage is one of those vegetables that I have fallen in love with and becau...

Baked Eggs with Chard

9 months ago by Katie

Now I have never hidden my obssession with swiss chard from you simply because I am so in love with it and I want to spread the word! I first grew this amazing leafy vegetable last year when I first got my plot back in July 2013. It was going to be one of thos...

Munchkin Pumpkins Galore!

10 months ago by Katie

It's September and the harvesting season has been in full swing for a few weeks now, but there is one crop which has to be my overall favourite. And thats the Munchkin Pumpkins. I first saw this plant in the Sarah Raven catalogue, in the photograph she had it ...

The Allotment Kitchen

11 months ago by Katie

Around a month ago in one in my previous videos I mentioned an idea to make a cooking program where I share recipes and cook produce grown in my allotment. So this video is my little experiment, obviously the cooking series will be a little better filmed. I wi...

The most delicious tarte ever!

11 months ago by Katie

It's recipe time and until my new website is up and running I'm afraid I'm having to write my recipes as blog posts. So here it is: When my Dad found those little juicy plums whilst walking the dog I instantly turned to the ever so brilliant book by Alys Fo...

Elderflower Jelly

1 year ago by Katie

This was the first year I went foraging for elderflower and I had such a great time, as a matter of fact I went foraging for it on two separate occasions and came home with baskets full of the pretty white flower heads. I did go a little overboard with making ...

Strawberry Cordial

1 year ago by Katie

It seems that the strawberry season is slowly coming to an end here on plot 15c and I am a little relieved. Don't get me wrong, I love strawberries but there was a massive glut of them and after making lots of jam already I was a little bemused about what I co...
