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.

Rhubarb and lemon tart

Made by Jo for a bring and share lunch. The pastry is like a sponge but made from Quinoa.  It was delicious and almost like a sponge.  Can we have the recipe Jo?

  1. The secret in the flour is a teaspoon of baking powder and a hearty mixture of quinoa flour and spelt flour, a very nutritious mixture. The rhubarb from our garden must though take centre stage!Cream, lemons and sugar enhance the rhubarb nicely. Recipe to come.
