For those of a technical bent, you can also see what I'm up to on my blog 'The Ample Cook' which can be found at http://www.theamplecook.blogspot.com/ . We deliberated long and hard on the name and that's the best we could think of that didn't read like a Kenneth Williams' double-entendre! Another favourite was 'Never Knowingly Under-Catered', as evidenced by Mike's growing waistline! Nothing too serious, just a few observations about food and my view of life.
2nd July 2009
Due to pressure of work on the catering side of the business I have had to withdraw from the Farm Shop. Unfortunately, I just do not have the time to make the additional cakes and pies and spend four days a month at the shop with the level of bookings I have. Hopefully, if things calm down, I will return but in the meantime if you have a craving for some of my produce, give me a call and I will try to meet your wishes!
Can I also take the opportunity to dispel some of the rumours circulating? I have not been fed to the pigs, or locked in a silo making endless chocolate brownies, there has not been a 'falling out' between myself and the Woodfords (indeed you may well bump into at the shop while I am picking up my order), and my entire output of Poacher's Pie hasn't been snaffled by a local well known farmer! It's pure economics I'm afraid

My picture of the profiteroles on the homepage of this website keeps popping up on other websites and forums all over the world. Try 'googling' "profiterloes" to see what I mean. Shame we can't charge royalties, Mr W and his Box Brownie would be living the life of luxury (not quite!)
29th July 2008
Summer has arrived at last and peaches are plentiful in the shops so I couldn't resist making a pavlova.
Not quite sure where to put this but I just thought it was one of my better photographs! Couldn't really resist sharing it with you, taken as I was making a batch of brawn. Should be making more soon !
