We love to see our past students collab.
Hannah and Sam both did the September 12 week cookery course with us in 2017.
Hannah now runs a great little cafe with a tipi outdoor-seating and Sam is the founder and cheese maker @fourbrotherscheese in Wiltshire 🇬🇧
Both of their with combined on the menu:
Mezze plate: za’atar hummus, sweet nocellara olives, Andalusian almonds, rosemary polenta chips, seasonal crudite. Add on bresaola from Dorset ‘Bryony’ feta-style cheese to make it extra special. The cheese is made using milk from their high-welfare Ayrshire cows.

So, so comforting.. homemade rice pudding. Zac wanted to make this last night but we didn’t have any pudding (pearl) rice, so he used Arborio risotto rice, and guess what: it was divine! Of course you can switch up the vanilla for cardamom, rose water, orange zest, saffron, cinnamon etc.. Here’s the recipe 👇🏽 #ricepudding #comfortfood #staysafe #comfortingpudding Baked creamy vanilla rice pudding
Serves 4-6
75g pearl rice/pudding rice
50g caster sugar
700ml milk
150ml cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 170’CPlace the rice and sugar in the pie dish, mixing together and spreading evenly over the base.
In a large saucepan, bring the milk and cream to the boil. Add the vanilla extract and carefully pour over the rice and sugar (I usually do this while the dish is sitting on the rack in the oven). Bake in the oven for 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours or until the rice is tender, it’ll be golden on top.Serve in bowls with a sprinkling of brown sugar, strawberry jam or poached rhubarb , plums etc. 💕
Orange zest and cinnamon with orange slices sautéed In butter and the pan deglazed with a little brandy 💃💃💃
Rachel’s Banana Butterscotch Pudding @kerrygoldusa
I absolutely adore this pudding from Bill’s book, Simply Bill. He made this when I appeared with him on Great Food Live, and as soon as I tasted it I was hooked. I have adapted the recipe slightly to fit the pie dish that I have. To make this for 12 people, double this recipe and cook in a 10-inch square gratin dish for 55 minutes.
Ingredients:
FOR THE PUDDING:
1 cup (4 oz) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup (4 oz) superfine sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 banana, mashed
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 tbsp (3/4 stick) Kerrygold Butter, melted
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/2 cup (4 oz) light brown sugar
2 tbsp corn syrup
2/3 cup boiling water
Softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Directions:
TO SERVE:
Preheat the oven 350°F (180°C). Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar. Mix together the beaten egg, mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Pour mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Pour this wet dough into a 9-inch pie dish and place the dish on a baking sheet.
To make the topping, put the brown sugar, corn syrup and boiling water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then drizzle over the pudding. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until it feels slightly firm in the center. Serve with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. If you’re not going to serve the pudding immediately, keep it somewhere warm until you are ready—it sits quite happily.
Darina Allen’s Sea Spinach Soup
Sea Spinach Soup
Sea spinach is at its sweetest and most delicious at present…. I absolutely love it and really want you to know about it so if you live near a rocky strand, look out for it – the shiny green leaves are unmistakable. It is, in fact, the ancestor to most cultivated varieties of beet, from beetroot to spinach beet. It can be cooked exactly like garden spinach and used in the same way, for example, try serving it in Middle Eastern style with raisins and pine kernels and a touch of cinnamon. Not surprisingly, because sea spinach is washed by the tides, it is full of iodine, minerals and other trace elements and it has an addictive salty tang. Sea spinach is tougher and slightly stronger in flavour than garden spinach, so it takes a little longer to cook.
The trick with these green soups is not to add the greens until the last minute, otherwise they will overcook and the soup will lose its fresh taste and bright green colour.
50g (2oz/1/2 stick) butter
110g (4oz/1 cup) onion, chopped
150g (5oz/1 cup) potatoes, chopped
600ml (1 pint/2 1/2 cups) homemade chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
425-600ml (3/4-1 pint/2 – 2 1/2 cups) creamy milk (1/4 cream and 3/4 milk)
salt and freshly ground pepper
225-350g (8-12oz/3 cups) sea spinach, destalked and chopped
Freshly ground nutmeg
Garnish
2 tablespoons (2 American tablespoons + 2 teaspoons) whipped cream (optional
Freshly chopped parsley
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. When it foams add the onions and potatoes and turn them until well coated. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover and sweat on a gentle heat for 10 minutes. Add the boiling stock and milk, bring back to the boil and simmer until the potatoes and onions are fully cooked. Add the sea spinach and boil with the lid off for about 3-5 minutes, until the sea spinach is tender. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh green colour.
Liquidise and taste and add some freshly grated nutmeg. Serve in warm bowls garnished with a blob of whipped cream and some chopped parsley

Simnel Cake, here’s the traditional Ballymaloe recipe..
Rachel Allen’s Baked Mushroom Risotto
Directions
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dried porcini mushrooms and boiling water. Soak for 20 minutes or until soft.
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas 3. Place the chicken or vegetable stock, whichever you are using, in a saucepan over a medium-low heat and bring to just under a simmer.
Add the butter to a large saucepan or casserole dish with a lid, and place on a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and the chopped garlic and cook for 6-8 minutes until soft.
As the onion is cooking, drain the porcinis but reserve the soaking liquid. Roughly chop the porcinis and set aside, then strain the soaking liquid and add to the simmering stock. Season this liquid with salt and pepper.
Add the chopped porcinis to the onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes. Next, stir in the risotto rice and cook for two minutes, stirring gently. Add in the white wine, stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until it has evaporated. Pour in the simmering stock, stir to combine, place a lid on top and put it into the oven. Cook for 10-12 minutes until just al dente.
Remove the risotto from the oven, add the grated Parmesan and cubes of butter, then use a wooden spoon to beat everything together. Stir in the marjoram or parsley, whichever you are using, lemon juice and mascarpone, if using.
Serve immediately with grated Parmesan on top.
