Welcome

This is an attempt to document my efforts to grow and eat locally around Melbourne, Derbyshire. My family own a nine acre smallholding on which we grow fruit and vegetables and keep bees, and chickens, but that won't feed us alone, so the idea is to get to know our local produce and to see how easy/hard it is to follow a diet that is local to within 30 miles. The fun part is also trying some new (easy) recipes that use home-grown and local produce. Feel free to comment, send in recipes, and share your experiences of buying and eating locally.

Another try at bread

It appears to be easy to make a good white loaf but wholemeal is a little more difficult. This one used half strong white flour, a quarter plain white flour and a quarter strong whole meal flour. I proved it for a long time as I put it in the greenhouse yesterday in the warm and then forgot it and left it there overnight. It doesn't seem to have harmed it though. Waiting for feedback from hubby on whether it's ok for his lunch sandwiches. I'm allergic to wheat so can't have it myself but will have to try a little as it smells so good.
