Lots of us are using the extra time at home to cook more often and try new recipes. Some families are involving the younger generation, whilst grandparents are sharing cooking tips and favourite recipes on Facetime. If you can’t go and see your favourite relative, maybe you can connect with them by cooking their favourite meal and sending photos.
We’ve been thinking about collecting and sharing recipes recommended by local people. We’re keen to include vegetarian, vegan, fish- and meat-based, gluten-free or other dietary ‘specialities’.
If your recipe uses local ingredients, that’s even better. We’ll be in the ‘hungry gap’ by the time you read this, so let us know what seasonal favourites you have. You might find wild garlic, nettles, sorrel and more on your daily exercise walk (assuming we’re still allowed to do that in May!).
Please share your favourite recipes by either:
- Posting on our Facebook page
- Or email it to us
We’d love you to share any stories behind the recipe – where it came from, why it’s popular in your family, how you’ve improved on the original version. And a photo would be brilliant!
We’ll add them to a new Recipe section on our website, so they are accessible. We’ll credit the recipe creator and photographer – please make sure you let us know who you are! The first few recipes are already there – featuring seasonal and foraged local ingredients!
