  4. Creamed Brussels Sprouts

    This is a really indulgent recipe, perfect for Christmas Day and warming suppers on cold winter evenings. It’s also great for entertaining because you can prepare it in advance and simply popping in the oven to finish when your guests arrive.

  5. Asian-inspired Slaw with Peanut Butter, Soy & Lime Dressing

    We serve a version of this dish in the restaurants and on the food to go menus at Daylesford year-round. 

    We’ve used our new peanut butter in this dressing but cashew butter is also excellent. Make extra and use the dressing to add punchy flavour to other dishes such as salads, grain bowls, noodles, fish and chicken.  

    For the slaw, feel free to vary the ingredients depending on what’s in season, or what you have handy.

  7. Instant Tomato & Cannellini Bean Soup – a guest recipe by Amelia Freer

    Recipe from Simply Good For You by Amelia Freer.


    "This is an ‘instant’ soup. Simply blend the raw ingredients together in a decent blender, and it’s ready. No cooking required."

     

  8. Cheddar & Roasted Vegetable Quiche - Guest Recipe

    A recipe from A Portrait of British Cheese by Angus D. Birditt.

    Roasting vegetables intensifies their naturally sweet flavour, and combining them with sharp, tangy mature cheddar makes for a classic flavour combination. This simple, versatile recipe is a great way to use up odds and ends in your fridge and the resulting delicious quiche is perfect for picnics, garden gatherings and light meals throughout the summer.

  10. Traditional Soda Bread with Homemade Butter

    Quick and simple, with no kneading or proving required, soda bread is the perfect loaf for those just beginning on a bread making journey.

    Prepare and bake if you are suddenly out of bread in the house, serve in hearty chunks with warm soup, or alongside smoked mackerel pâté, fresh salad leaves and pickled cucumber as a rustic starter. But without fail, the very best way to serve this delicious loaf is warm from the oven with generous layers of homemade butter – just as we do on our Artisan Bread Making courses at our Cookery School.

     

  11. Clementine Custard Tarts – a guest recipe by Wild by Tart

    Portuguese-style custard tarts with festive clementine curd.

    Inspired by places and people they love, Jemima Jones and Lucy Carr-Ellison, founders of Tart London and Wild by Tart, cook food with big flavours and seasonal ingredients, sustainably sourced where possible.

    “We cook food that excites us, using ingredients we know work well together. We look to work with suppliers who have unique stories of sustainability or craftsmanship. Portuguese tarts are just so delicious. The traditional recipe is quite laborious, so we love this cheat recipe and were thrilled by the addition of the clementine curd which worked really well – a perfect festive treat.”

  12. Peanut Butter Cookies – A Guest Recipe from Amelia Freer

    Recipe from Simply Good For You by Amelia Freer.


    "I have a bit of a thing for biscuits and so tend to avoid buying them otherwise I’d easily eat a whole packet in one go. But going to the effort of making these (admittedly they don’t really require much effort) does slow me down as I want to savour them.

    I use coconut sugar as I love the flavour and it has slightly heathier properties than refined white sugar, but use whatever sugar you wish. I make these when I have lots of mouths to feed and there are never any left over."

  13. Pear & Walnut Upside-Down Cake - A Guest Recipe From Julius Roberts

    I love a good cake and this is just that. Juicy, moist and wonderfully light, but most importantly, not too sweet. It sings with warm flavours from the spices, while the walnuts provide an earthy and satisfying crunch. The pears are first cooked in a caramel until sweet and tender, and you then pour the batter over and bake the cake upside down. Once cooked, you turn out the cake and let the caramel trickle into the sponge below.

    Once cooked, you turn out the cake and let the caramel trickle into the sponge below. All it needs is a spoon of crème fraîche and you will be happy as can be. I find this cake lasts a good few days, especially if you keep it covered. Just gently warm any leftover slices in a low 140°C fan oven before you tuck in, which brings it back to life.

  14. Beetroot Soup - A Guest Recipe From Julius Roberts

    This is one of those recipes my family just live off, a dish we return to again and again, at its heart deeply simple and uplifting. Velvety and voluptuous, this soup bubbles away like a cauldron of lava and is wonderfully nourishing. Seasoned with a little cider vinegar to brighten the earthy richness, it’s a dinner party classic I often serve as a starter because of its striking colour, but it’s equally at home eaten on your knees. I’ve given you three toppings that will bring this soup to life, so you can vary how you eat it depending on what you have to hand.

  15. Dukkah Cauliflower 'Steak' with Green Tahini, Spinach, Curd & Capers – a guest recipe by Eve Kalinik

    You could say that this is as 'meaty' as it gets for your microbiome, due to the feast of fibre the cauliflower provides. The curd or cheese is a natural fermented source of bacteria that is beneficial for our gut health, and a punchy green dressing delights the eyes as well as the taste buds.

  17. Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken - A Guest Recipe From Julius Roberts

    There are recipes in this book that i love because they are interesting, there are those that I love for their simplicity, and there are those that I find myself making again and again. This is the latter, a great roast chicken, the heart of home cooking and one of life’s great pleasures. I relish the ritual, my family’s fight over the wings, the secret chef ’s treats of the oysters, the leftover sandwiches and bubbling stocks. There is no meal that makes me feel more at home. In my mind, there are three keys to a good roast chicken . . . juicy meat, brown salty skin and most importantly a ton of sauce. And it’s the sauce of this chicken that really sets it apart: handfuls of tarragon, lashings of cream and a proper dollop of mustard, which when combined with the cooking juices, garlic and wine creates a truly epic mouthful.

  19. Carrot Cake - A Guest Recipe From Donna Hay

    This is the only carrot cake you need in your life! Layers of super soft cake are warmly (but not overly) spiced and studded with nuts, then coated in the dreamiest lemony cream cheese frosting.

  20. Hot Cross Buns

    This classic Easter recipe for Hot Cross Buns is a firm Daylesford favourite. Lots of fun to make, especially for children who can help stir the mixture, shape the dough and pipe the crosses.

  21. Creamed Gratin of Cavolo Nero

    Ideal as a side or main dish, this versatile gratin is packed with flavour and can be prepared in advance. Simply omit the pancetta to make a vegetarian version.

  22. Woodland Mushroom & Thyme Risotto

    With parmesan cheese & parsley oil.

    Risotto is one of the most comforting foods, especially during colder months. It is worth sourcing the different mushrooms stipulated in this recipe so you get a variety of textures and flavours in every bite. The mushroom purée adds a velvety creaminess while the parsley oil lifts the dish and adds colour.

    This recipe is inspired by a dish served in our cafés. Discover more seasonal recipes and cooking skills at our Cookery School.

  23. Winter Sprout Slaw

    This slaw is a wonderful way to make use of seasonal winter vegetables, turning them into a colourful raw salad that is packed with nutritional value. We love to serve this as an accompaniment to festive platters of cold meat and baked potatoes. It is also a fantastic recipe to have up your sleeve when entertaining guests over Christmas as you can prepare it completely in advance.

    If you can’t find candy or golden beetroot, traditional ruby red will work beautifully and do add your own favourite raw vegetables such as carrots or cabbage to make the recipe your own.

  24. Leek & Cheese Tart with Truffled Brie

    This creamy tart balances sweet, mellow leeks with the punch of our semi-soft Adlestrop cheese and the decadence of truffles.

    This recipe is inspired by a dish served in our cafés.

  25. Courgette, Cumin & Lime Fritters – a guest recipe by Kathy Slack

    Recipe from From the Veg Patch by Kathy Slack.


    "For a tasty, fuss-free supper, you really can’t beat a fritter. Here, cumin, coriander and lime embellish an otherwise straightforward batter good for any grated veg, but do experiment with other flavourings – basil and lemon or smoked paprika and chilli – or leave out altogether. Our heroes are courgettes this time, but they could just as easily be grated carrot, beetroot, parsnips or cauliflower another day. And after you’ve made them for supper, try them cold for a packed lunch, or cook them small and serve as pre-dinner nibbles. Endlessly versatile, this is a real workhorse recipe.”

  26. Roast Salmon with Peas, Bacon & Braised Little Gem

    “Wild salmon comes into season at the start of the summer, so this dish is based around pairing it with other seasonal ingredients. The accompaniment is a twist on the classic French dish, ‘petit pois à la française’, something I’m quite partial to, in which peas and lettuce are braised in stock and butter. My husband likes the addition of the bacon, but you could happily leave it out to make it a meat-free dish.”

  27. Warm Panzanella Salad with Daylesford Heritage Tomatoes

    A quick, filling and thoroughly easy dish for a vegetarian summer supper or as part of a delicious lunch, celebrating our heritage tomatoes. We grow over 40 varieties of tomato in our organic Market Garden and every year we are in awe of their colours, texture and unrivalled sweetness. Most of the time we tend to enjoy them raw but every now and then a glut calls for a little variation and this quick cooking technique brings out their wonderful flavour.
