Recipes
Our recipe section has a range of home-style cooking and meal ideas to use those delicious organic vegetables you have worked so hard to grow. Now time to reap the benefits!
You can of course, use our recipes as a guide and tweak them to suit your own tastes. They are in the main, written by somebody who loves food and doesn't measure anything so we hope you enjoy our 'rustic' take on the selection of dishes here. We have recipes by vegetable, fruit, nuts or herbs and soups, which are extremely versatile as well as some fabulous and inspiring Canning & Preserving recipes and information from our lovely friend at LoveJars - Rosie.
You can also submit your recipes and we will share them on our Growers' Recipes section!

Method
1. Wash and chop up the veggies you are using and boil in a pan of water
2. Add any herbs, spices and seasoning to taste along with your added stock/stockcubes
3. Simmer, add in cream if desired. For a healthier alternative you could use tinned tomatoes or simply stay with water and stock.

5. Serve with a hunk of fresh bread and butter!
