Mitchells Films in Hollywood

In last week’s blog post, we spoke about Judy and her adventure down to London, to film with none other than the ‘artisan of baking’; Paul Hollywood!

And since word got out of Judy’s London adventure, she’s become quite the celebrity herself, featuring on the front pages of two of Inverurie's local newspapers last week!

Today, we’ll fill you in on some of the information and tasty details of the episode that Judy and Mitchells will be featured in!

“Each of the 45-minute shows will see Paul cook three mouth-watering recipes. He’ll produce a signature pie and a signature pudding, but in between he’ll create something a little bit different, inspired by a guest expert.

Paul and his guest expert will cook the dish together, often showing off their unique technical skills such as sugar spinning or fondant icing.” - Sourced from BBC.

First of all, in August we hosted the Spun Gold tv crew, who travelled up to Inverurie to film our delicious oatcakes being baked on the girdle (“griddle”)

They filmed the handmade process in our bakehouse, that has used the family recipe of Great Grandmother Agnes Mitchell since 1928.
It can sometimes be a slow process but as the old saying goes, “Quality over Quantity”!

In our featured episode, the kitchen saw Paul welcome Sharon and Chris Peacock from Cockerham Goats. Cockerham Goats is a family run business that is one of the UK’s longest established pedigree goat herders.

Their premium Boer goat meat provided the main ingredient for the Goat-herders pie and is featured in Paul’s new book “Pies and Puds”.

Rachel Allen is the guest Chef featured in this episode. Rachel is a celebrity chef from Ireland who has written four best selling cookery books. She is regularly on the BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and she even has her own show on RTE: "Easy Meals".

Paul and Rachel cooked up a tasty baked brie brioche and a coconut raspberry pudding.

Finally, after eagerly awaiting on the sidelines Judy gets her air time! After a dusting of powder from the make up artist, she enters the kitchen to make a crannachan pudding while Paul bake’s the Crannachan cheesecake.

Cheesecake is usually made with crushed sweet biscuits , however Paul’s recipe imaginatively used savoury oatcakes as the base of the dessert. Melted butter, raspberries and Highland Fine Cheeses Crowdie cheese made up the rest of the ingredients in the Cheesecake.

After all the food was prepared and cooked, Judy, Paul and the others all sat around a table and tasted the food. We know that Chris DEFINITELY loved the Crannachan as we have a photo of him. enjoying the leftovers!

Keep an eye on the Mitchells Dairy Blog over the next few weeks to keep up to date with Judy’s Adventure and the Mitchells’ involvement in Paul Hollywood’s TV show & his new book!
