RECIPES
There is nothing that feeds our souls more than gathering friends and family around the table, or cooking something satisfying simply for ourselves. Over the year we gather inspiration from our farm and kitchens to share recipes that reflect our commitment to seasonal, nutritious food that is full of flavour.
A real centrepiece, this barbecued fillet of beef recipe is perfect for entertaining and makes an elegant and light summery dish.
The contrasting colours of the punchy green tapenade and the rich reds, oranges and yellows of our heritage tomatoes are stunning.
“Wild salmon comes into season at the start of the summer, so this dish is based around pairing it with other seasonal ingredients."
When it comes to the garden’s ingredients, spring is the most uplifting time of year with the arrival of asparagus and Jersey Royals.
"There is little more refreshing in the summer months than the cool clinking of ice cubes in a jugful of homemade elderflower cordial."
Prepared with lots of fresh herbs, tossed in a thick Asian dressing and topped with toasted cashew nuts, it's packed with flavour and crunch.
"Our heroes are courgettes this time, but they could just as easily be grated carrot, beetroot, parsnips or cauliflower another day."
This true favourite in The Legbar at our Cotswolds farm. We love ice cold and served with salted MARCONA ALMONDS and NOCELLARA OLIVES.
This side dish makes the most of fresh, seasonal flavours. It is particularly good with lamb and makes a good addition to summer barbecues
We believe that our organic approach produces beef that is exceptional to eat, ours is dry-aged for a minimum of 28 days for optimal flavour.
Perfect for picnics or enjoying with drinks, these summer dips with Market Garden crudités are simple to make with delicious raw vegetables.
A pleasure to make, these joyously colourful Market Garden summer rolls will bring a smile to your face as you make them.
Perfect for a quiet supper or a barbecue to feed a crowd, this really is a delicious number to have up your sleeve.
This is an amalgamation of two classics: mayonnaise and salsa verde, the famous Italian green sauce, full of herbs with capers and anchovy.
This salad s a great way to use up leftover chicken alongside baby gem lettuce, charred courgettes and a tarragon yoghurt dressing.
Fabulous Seasonal Dinner Party Course
"I absolutely loved the Seasonal Dinner Party course. Steve and James were both brilliant - the recipes were delicious and can definitely be tried at home. Their love of food and cooking is infectious! I would definitely do another course."

Great Seasonal Dinner Party day!
"We spent a great day learning how to create a Seasonal Dinner Party along with various tips like knife skills and cooking techniques - James and James and their team were very informative, patient and relaxed and we came away with cookery confidence (and full tummies!)! It was lovely looking round the farm a little too! Thank you everyone!"

The Perfect Evening!
"Excellent evening at the Daylesford Cookery School, where James, Ione and Sophie hosted our family dinner to celebrate Dad’s 60th. Food was fabulous and great to see the chefs prepare it in front of us. Outstanding presentation and flavours, James really facilitated our enjoyment and was very engaging, explaining each dish and the paired wine, he’s a master of his trade. I’d highly recommend the chefs table experience for anyone wanting to celebrate; a very memorable and lovely time. Thanks James, Ione and Sophie."

Can't wait to come back
"I was finally able to do the Artisan Bread Course at Daylesford yesterday and it was so worth the wait!
I can’t believe how much we made, how much we ate and drank and how much we learnt. James is so knowledgeable and I learnt so many new kneading techniques and tips about bread making. Just ordered myself many kilos of their preferred flour and can’t wait to get on with some bread at home.
Honestly I would recommend their courses to anyone. It’s a highly enjoyable day and I can’t wait to book another."
