Travel with your tastebuds

Cumberland Rum Nicky

One of my goals for 2020 was to travel to various cities and towns without stepping foot on an aeroplane

 

I wanted to explore the British Isles, discover regional food and learn about local traditions. Obviously, we weren’t able to do this, so I am hoping I can at least start my UK travels in 2021.

Top of my list is Cumbria – I have visited Bowness-on-Windermere and adored every second, I definitely want to return as soon as I can!

My passion to explore the UK was inspired by our popular cookbook Around Britain, which features this fabulous dessert.

Cumberland Rum Nicky is a classic dish from Cumberland in the Northwest of England and is packed full of dried fruit, ginger and rum.

Recipe of the Week: Tahini Turkey with Persian

Tahini Turkey with Persian Rice

Leftover turkey? Of course, you have!

 

This flavoursome recipe from the 2021 Dairy Diary is perfect for using up leftovers on Boxing Day and is much more exciting than the usual turkey sandwich.

I tried it at the photo shoot on a baking hot day in July and instantly loved it.

The mixture of tahini, mint and pomegranate work beautifully with the turkey and rice.

Based on the iconic Austrian flan; whose namesake is the pretty baroque city of Linz, this Christmassy dessert uses mincemeat rather than the traditional jam and is topped with an attractive pastry lattice.

Serve warm, with whipped cream – delicious.
