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.

Stilton and pear puffs


Thank you to Katherine for this lovely recipe.  Stilton is of course a local cheese - eg Long Clawson stilton - from Rutland.

Roll out some puff pastry and cut out circles in buttered/ oiled bun tray. Mix up chopped pear and chopped stilton and a chopped tomato. Put teaspoon in each and then mix one egg with a splash of milk, add a little of this mixture in each one, they will be like puffy mini quiche tartlets.  Bake in 220F oven for about 15 to 20 mins. They really puff up.
