Home Cooked: Recipes from the Farm (Kate Humble)

Product Information

Cut a deep cross in the top with a sharp knife (which according to my friend Jennifer, is to let the fairies out). With more than 100 recipes from Kates kitchen table, this is food to share from breakfast time to the evening meal - for lazy days, busy weeknights or gatherings, and everything in between. Trim the tails off the French beans and steam or plunge into boiling water and cook until they are al dente.

There was something lovely about thinking of the food I like to eat - and then it make sense to me to make it seasonal.Add the lemon zest and then drizzle over a bit of olive oil to make the veg glossy, but not swimming in it. Kate Humbles Home Cooked This is a beautiful cookery book that celebrates home cooked food that is seasonal and delicious and comes straight from the table of Kate Humbles farm. Put all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until well combined and smooth. Thinking on My Feet was shortlisted for both the Wainwright Prize and the Edward Stanford Travel Memoir of the Year. We had a gathering with producers who contributed to the book, at the cafe on the farm run by a local couple, Jess and Jake.

I'd spent two hours trying to pen up a ewe that had given birth and then didn't want anything to do with her lamb at all. In addition to her time spent on her Welsh working farm, which she bought 10 years ago, Home Cooked is also inspired by the food Kate enjoyed while growing up - in particular, her mother’s no-frills recipes. I’ve always lived by the adage, which is attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt – I’ve no idea whether she actually said it or not – but apparently she said, or somebody clever said: ‘You should really do something that scares you every day’,” says Humble.Kate will be in conversation with Felicity Cloake, who will apply her trusted expertise to Kate's delicious recipes, while also offering up some culinary delights of her own. The recipes I felt could have been clearer laid out with better pics and maybe a little easier to follow. The Springwatch veteran has been at the front of many of our nature programmes, and now she’s turning her attention towards delicious yet simple cooking anyone can do from their home. This is written in a warm and friendly style with stories about most of the dishes, and exquisite pictures. If there was a Royal Society for the Protection of Sourdough Starters, I would have been prosecuted two years ago, and in prison.
