JANUARY

Hello!

Firstly, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a lovely (even if a little different) time over the festive period!
I think I’m mostly excited for the new fruit that comes into season in January - Forced Rhubarb, grapefruit and of course Seville Oranges. I can’t wait to make some marmalade with the latter to see me though the year! 

Just a little note to say, due to demand, the 2021 Seasonal Eating Calendar will be back in stock again later this week for anyone that missed it. Keep your eyes peeled on Instagram or the online shop for more information.

A January Breakfast

This is a lovely January breakfast - making the most of both grapefruits and pomegranate. Serves two as a full breakfast, or four as part of a larger breakfast spread. The recipe can also be found over on the website!

Ingredients:
2 grapefruits (one white, one red)
1 heaped tsp butter
1 tsp runny honey, plus a little extra for drizzling 
2 tbsp oats
1 tbsp flaked almonds
Pinch of flaked sea salt
⅛ tsp cinnamon
3-4 tbsp natural or greek yoghurt
2 tbsp pomegranate 

Method:

1. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. When it’s melted and starting to foam, add the honey.

2. Swirl these around the pan before adding the oats, flaked almonds, cinnamon and salt. Cook for a few minutes until all the dry ingredients have absorbed the butter and honey and they are beginning to crisp. Set pan aside.

3. Using a sharp knife, remove the peel and pith from the grapefruit and cut the flesh into slices. Arrange onto a serving plate - or divide between two smaller plates.

4. Top the grapefruit slices with yoghurt, then the oat mix. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a scattering of pomegranate.

Sausages with Green Lentils and Celeriac

Celeriac is one of my favourite winter vegetables, the nutty flavour of it marries so well with the green lentils here. This one pot frugal supper is perfect for the cold evenings, serve it alongside a chunk of good bread to soak up all the juices. Don’t omit the squeeze of lemon at the end - it really is the thing that brings the whole dish together. Find the recipe here!

Here are some of my favourite Instagrams from the last month. This Snowy Panettone Cake from Skye McAlpine - panettone with pistachio butter, cream AND meringue? Yes please. The light in Elliot’s, I might be biased but Scotland does have the most beautiful winter sun. These caramels from Flora Shedden, all 643 of them.
