Bakewell Cake

The blackberries are starting on our allotment - especially fat and juicy this year because of the hot sun in June followed by all that rain in July. Blueberries have become new favourites everywhere but blackberries are free, local, organic and packed with vitamin C, so just as healthy as those (usually imported) fashionable ones. They are delicious eaten raw if you choose the most swollen ones; they freeze beautifully for blackberry and apple crumbles in the winter; and they can be used in this quick cake. It keeps for a few days improving all the time. Bakewell Cake 5 oz SR Flour 5oz ground almonds 5oz butter 5oz castor sugar 2 eggs If the butter is soft, mix all together, in the processor for speed and preference. Add a spot of hot water or milk if it seems too stiff. Put half into an 8''/20cm loose bottomed tin which you have greased and best of all, lined.

Veggie Goulash

So two of us have eaten half the goulash. Delicous and warming. The rest will go into the freezer for a quick meal day.

Carrot and Butterbean Soup

The recipe for this is in February's Sainsbury magazine. Carrots are often too bland and sweet for a successful soup - coriander is the classic spice to lift them and my mother adds orange juice and rind to hers. But even so I never think it is the best. Parsnips with a little spice, perhaps curry powder, give you body and flavour, mixed veg, that is equal quantities of swede, carrot and parsnip, are delicious but carrot in my book not so. But add a tin of butterbeans and the result is great; the beans give it body and savoury richness . So: 1 onion, sweated gently in oil and then 1/2 tsp cumin, coriander and pinch of chill powder added; 2 pints hot stock; 1 tin butter beans, juice and all, plus a generous 1 1/2 lbs carrots, simmered 20 minutes plus; liquidise and enjoy - with a spoonful of yoghurt per bowl stirred in, or croutons or crispy fried onions with some spice added - or just chunks of good bread..
