Whoop Whoop - how exciting!

The book came today, thank you Val.  Have to say that it is very, very good and would recommend it to people that enjoy foraging and making great, old fashioned recipes.

Got my book today - will be very useful as have discovered the delights if jam making recently. Thank you.

I've been a bit lax in replying, especially as my book arrived on Saturday (The Great Allotment Cookbook) - what stunning delivery speed.

I haven't done more than flick through it yet - I'm looking forward to a decent quiet spell with a cup of coffee in one hand, which might happen if it ever rains and I don't have to trawl water up and down the plot - but it's got loads of ideas for excess veg and out of the 200 recipes I'm bound to be able to find something to enter next year's competition with.

Or is that not how it's supposed to work....?

Can i enter even though i'm a chef?

This competition has closed although your contribution would have been very welcome I'm sure.  My daughter is a pastry chef  and I love making puddings but never eat them!

Oh i also specialise in pastry going to make Rick Steins cherry pithivier at the weekend!
