<span style="font-size: 18px;">Good Luck to Inverurie's "Golden Girl" Hannah Miley in Rio</span></h1>
As excitement is builds for the start of the 2016 Olympics in Rio we are remembering the day the people of Inverurie got together in the town centre to celebrate the success of our local 2012 Commonwealth Games medal winners Hannah Miley and Vio Etko. In a fun twist to the tradition of postboxes in the home towns of Olympic medal winner being painted gold, we at Mitchells honoured Hannah's Commonwealth gold medal win in swimming by turning Mooorial, our life size mascot cow, gold.<br /><br />So from one Inverurie golden girl to another, Mooorial and the rest of the team at Mitchells wish Hannah and all Team GB athletes the very best of luck in Rio.<br /><br /> Like Hannah, Mooorial has become quite a local celebrity and often has her photo taken by fans. We love seeing your photos so be sure to share with us using the hashtag #LoveMooorial<br />

"Tattie Holidays"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The Tattie Holidays, as the October mid-term break is known locally, are so called because in the "olden days" (as all children seem to refer to their parent's youth!) pupils were given leave of absence from school to go to the fields and gather in the potato crop by hand.<br />
Nowadays tatties are generally lifted from the dreels by harvesting machines and children can enjoy a welcome break from school without the back breaking work.<br />
If you are out and about in Inverurie these "Tattie Holidays" do pop in and visit us at <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/">The Dairy</a> We look forward to welcoming you.<br />

Tattie Soup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
While we are on the subject of tatties we thought we'd share our recipe with you. Of course, all ingredients are available in our shop!<br />
<br />
2kg potatoes<br />
4 large carrots (the ones with dubs still on are really tasty, be sure to wash them!)<br />
Half a turnip<br />
1 large onion<br />
8oz boiling beef - rib, skink, plate from our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/preslyandco?fref=ts">Presly & Co</a> range is ideal<br />
2 stock cubes (beef or vegetable) <br />
1 leek finely chopped<br />
Seasoning<br />
<br />
Method: Peel and chop all veg except leek and place in large pan. Add beef and stock. Cover with water and bring to boil. Simmer for 1.5hrs. Remove the beef from pan. Blend the veg/stock mix to consistency of your liking. Chop the beef into pieces then add back into the soup. Add chopped leeks and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes. Season to taste. Delicious served with <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/products.php">Mitchells handmade oatcakes.</a><br />
<br />
THRIFTY TIP - Keep some beef back from the soup pot for making a stirfry or stovies next day.<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Salmon and Prawn Supper</span></h2>
<div>
We're back with another tasty recipe from The Dairy Tearoom, this month's recipe is a Salmon and Prawn Supper. </div>
<div>
Place a salmon fillet per serving with some sliced spring onions, peppers, a few prawns and squeeze of lemon juice into a foil envelope. Put the foil parcel on a tray in a medium heat oven for 20 minutes to poach the salmon. When cooked, stir in some crème fraîche or natural yoghurt, salt and pepper to taste. Delicious served with new potatoes and green beans.<br />
As usual, all of the ingredients are available in our shop including the salmon and prawns from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Downies-Fish/214806131944449?fref=ts">Downies Fish</a> which is available at our deli counter</div>

Diane, one of our cooks, is known as being the Queen of Soups and she makes the most amazing soups using fresh ingredients. Below is a recipe for Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash soup with all of the ingredients available in our shop.<br /><br />Sweat 2 diced butternut squash & 1 kg sweet potato with 3 cloves garlic & 1 chopped red chilli (optional) in a drop of veg oil. Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika (optional) and cook for a minute, stirring to blend the flavours.<br /><br />Add water to cover and simmer till the vegetables are soft. Add a tablespoon of wholegrain mustard, 2oz of grated parmesan cheese and a tablespoon of vegetable bullion. Blend till smooth. Stir in a “glug” of cream and serve hot.<br /><br />Soup is perfectly accompanied by some Mitchells oatcakes!!!</div>

Father’s Day is coming up in a couple of weeks and it is probably time you start thinking about a wee gift for him, if you haven’t already. We have a great selection of presents that would be perfect for Father’s Day, including a great selection of hampers that can be customised to your needs and liking, and we can courier to mainland UK addresses.<div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM6IyMi3sAeoO20e3xm7NpFV1sIA_XVPqV9oKiS_Cq8z2EX1gApNoO5K1RpC5xy88zzZu7CiUWpuUrGm1A49GByshII_MCr4_7_kFozrGURSLPVm3UHrUhJF2L5agz-pwZlsrQEyas9rru/s1600/hamper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM6IyMi3sAeoO20e3xm7NpFV1sIA_XVPqV9oKiS_Cq8z2EX1gApNoO5K1RpC5xy88zzZu7CiUWpuUrGm1A49GByshII_MCr4_7_kFozrGURSLPVm3UHrUhJF2L5agz-pwZlsrQEyas9rru/s1600/hamper.jpg" /></a></div>
Also, for all you cheese lovers out there, we have a great selection of these cheese kits from <a href="http://www.bigcheesemakingkit.com/">The Big Cheese Making Kit</a>. The Queen awarded the owner of this company an MBE, so you know that they must be pretty good! A popular cheese we have in and is a great combination with our home-made Oatcakes is the <a href="http://www.snowdoniacheese.co.uk/cheese/black-bomber/">Black Bomber</a> or <a href="http://www.snowdoniacheese.co.uk/cheese/red-storm/">Red Devil</a> from <a href="http://www.snowdoniacheese.co.uk/">Snowdonia Cheeses</a>. As always, if you have a favourite you’d like us to stock please just ask at the deli counter and we can order it in especially for you. We also have a bunch of great local cheeses to choose from so stop in and see which takes your fancy.</div>

What better fruits are best suited for summer than strawberries? So we have sourced some of the best strawbs in Scotland from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CastletonFarmShopandCafe">Castleton Farm Shop</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/barraberries">Barra Berries</a>. As of May 1st, it is strawberry season so now is the best time to grab some whilst they are juicy and delicious!<br />

<br />
It’s also nearing Burn’s night so that means lots of food, drink and poetry, and so we’ve brought it upon ourselves to provide you with our favourite recipes for the perfect Burn’s night supper to give you an idea of what you can make.<br />
<br />
<b>Don’t worry about trying to find all of these ingredients because we stock them all at Mitchells!</b><br />

<b><u>What you’ll need</u></b><br />
<b>- </b> 900g haggis (vegetarian or otherwise)<br />
<b>-</b> 1kg Turnips<br />
<b>-</b> 1 large carrot<br />
<b>-</b> 1kg potatoes<br />
<b>- </b> 100ml milk, warmed in the microwave<br />
<b>-</b> 80g butter<br />
<b>- </b> salt and pepper to taste<br />
<br />
<b><u>How to make it</u></b><br />
<b>1.</b> Heat the haggis following the instructions, meanwhile peel the potatoes and turnips, then dice the turnips and carrot into 1cm cubes and cut the potatoes into quarters.<br />
<b>2. </b> Gently boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water and the carrot and turnip in a separate pan of salted water for 20-25 minutes until soft.<br />
<b>3.</b> Drain each pan separately and allow all the steam and moisture to evaporate. This will ensure creamy potatoes and turnips that are not watery.<br />
<b>4.</b> To the potatoes, add 40g butter, the hot milk, salt and pepper to taste and mash well until creamy. To the turnips and carrots, add 40g butter, salt and pepper to taste and mash, retaining some texture.<br />
<b>5.</b> Serve altogether with the hot haggis.<br />
<br />
This recipe, using <a href="http://www.macsween.co.uk/">Macsween’s</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/preslyandco?fref=ts">Presly’s</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/preslyandco?fref=ts"> </a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>or <a href="http://huntlyfarmersmarket.co.uk/pages/catalog/scotts-of-huntly13.php?cat_id=1&number=0">Scotts’</a> haggis, will pay true homage to the “chieftain o the puddin’-race”, and you can purchase all of these ingredients in store for your Burns’ celebrations.<br />

The most Scottish way to wash all of this food down is with a dram of malt whisky. We have an extensive range in stock at very keen prices including locally distilled <a href="http://www.glengarioch.com/">Glen Garioch</a> Founders Reserve (currently at £32.99) and their 12 Year old (on a special price of £37.99). If you are looking for something in particular, please just ask as we can order in individual bottles by special request. <br />

Next there should be a spot of dessert because what meal is complete without a wee sweet addition? Keep with the scottish theme and indulge in Mitchells crannachan ice cream made especially for us by <a href="http://www.rizza.co.uk/">Rizza’s of Huntly</a>. Or you could make your own traditional crannachan pudding. Here’s our twist on it using our delicious oatcakes in as an ingredient.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What you’ll need</u></b><br />
<b>-</b> 750ml double cream<br />
<b>- </b> 4 tablespoons of runny honey<br />
<b>-</b> A handful of crushed Mitchells oatcakes<br />
<b>-</b> A splash of whisky (optional)<br />
<b>-</b> A handful of raspberries (frozen are ideal)<br />
<br />
<b><u>How to make it</u></b><br />
<b>1.</b> Whip the cream carefully to ribbon stage and chill for a while. <br />
<b>2.</b> Add a splash of whisky (or your chosen liquor) to the raspberries and allow to soften for 10 minutes.<br />
<b>3.</b> Remove the cream from the fridge and add the honey, retaining a little for garnish. Then fold in the crushed oatcakes and boozy berries to the cream.<br />
<b>4.</b> To serve, either spoon into a glass and decorate with a drizzle of honey, or place in one large serving bowl and leave in the fridge for an hour or two until your guests arrive.<br />

Moorial hasn’t been vandalised, she’s just had a golden makeover in honour of Hannah Miley’s Commonwealth Gold medal success.<br />
<br />
Hannah, from Inverurie won the first gold medal of the Glasgow 2014 Games breaking her own Commonwealth Games record in the 400m Individual Medley and went on to further success with a bronze medal, breaking Scottish records and achieving new personal bests.<br />
<br />
Judy Whyte of Mitchells “The Dairy” Grocery and Tearoom in Inverurie said “Hannah is an inspiration to so many and we wanted to acknowledge her Commonwealth achievements.<br />
<br />
<div>
<div dir="ltr" style="clear: right; float: right; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div>
As members of Inverurie4u which represents the retailers in Inverurie we saw the tremendous response to Hannah’s wins on social media and thought why not turn our much photographed local landmark cow Mooorial golden for Hannah!<br />
<br />
We hope Hannah will pop by and visit Mooorial on her return to Inverurie.”<br />
<br />
Fellow Inverurie4u members Cheryl Rogerson of Vanity and Ashley Wilson of Interiors by Ashley commented “We love that in interviews Hannah always mentions the support of her family and gives a shout out to her home town of Inverurie.<br />
<br />
Hannah is well known locally as she trains with Garioch Amateur Swimming Club in Inverurie swimming pool and at Garioch Sports Trust which is also an Inverurie4u member. <br />
<br />
The town is bursting with pride for Hannah and we look forward to welcoming her home after the Games.”<br />
<br />
We have received a bit of attention for this, which is great! Especially from the likes of the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-28602562">BBC</a> which is a great reception and we think oor Moorial is loving all the attention! <br />
<br />
However, she would like a bit more attention (she’s quite vain in that way), so if you are taking a photo of yourself with Moorial, then could you please post it to our Facebook page, or upload it to Twitter using the hashtag #LoveMooorial (with THREE o’s)! :)<br />
<br />
Well done Hannah, we wait to welcome you back to Inverurie, triumphant.</div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We have great news in the Mitchells family, Keith has been appointed as Steering Group Chairman of the <a href="http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/support/food/forum.asp"><span class="s2">Grampian Food Forum</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The Grampian Food Forum is a partnership comprising senior members of the food and drink industry in the North East of Scotland and the main development agencies in the area, and provides an opportunity for companies from different sectors to learn from each other and to exchange ideas.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Keith said: “I am delighted to take on the position as I see the food and drink industry as a valuable contributor to the local economy. The Grampian Food Forum, which was established in 1993, has a great story to tell and I am keen to encourage food and drink businesses to get involved and benefit from the well established network of contacts that has been built up”. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">His right hand lady will not be his wife Judy, however, it will be Claire Rennie, founder of Berry Scrumptious, an innovative local business producing berry flavoured confectionery using their own fruit from the farm near Fraserburgh and now a new range of Summerhouse Drinks. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">According to the “North-east Food and Drink Sector Survey 2014” the industry continues to deliver premium products and services and supports around 22,000 jobs in the area.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This will only increase as 2015 is the Year of Food and Drink and the Grampian Food Forum is preparing for a busy year including VisitScotland Expo and Roots Europe Conference </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Bringing many visitors both from abroad and in the UK to the area who will sample the quality produce that is readily available, so Keith and Claire will have their hands full. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The GFF runs many different events such as the <a href="http://www.scotlandfoodanddrink.org/news/article-info/4820/grampian-food-forum-innovation-awards-2014.aspx"><span class="s2">Innovation Awards</span></a>, <a href="http://www.scottishfoodanddrinkforums.org/dining-clubs.aspx"><span class="s2">the Dining Club</span></a>, and is also a partner in the Taste of Grampian one-day food and drink festival, which takes place on Saturday, 7 June. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">This is where we were approached by one of Paul Hollywood’s staff which led to our oatcakes and Judy being on national television, so this event holds a great place in our hearts and Keith is very proud to be a part of it. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">We are proud of Keith, and Keith is proud of this honour and can’t wait to get to work as the new Grampian Food Forum Chairman!</span></div>
<div class="p2">

As you all know by now, we recently won <a href="http://mitchellsdairies.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/mitchells-dairy-are-cream-of-crop.html">two awards at the Scottish Grocer Awards</a>, and since then, we have received many congratulatory messages from close neighbours, and distant friends.<br />
<br />
None, incidentally, were more distant than the lovely email we received from Elma Black, a lady with family connections in Aberdeenshire who lives in Australia.<br />
<br />
Elma watches the Inverurie webcam in the early evening in Australia, and often sees our Mooorial moooving out of the shop into her space on the pavement.<br />
<br />
As a treat during her holiday in Scotland last year, her family arranged for her to be here early one morning to mooove Mooorial out.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Elma and her husband enjoyed breakfast in <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/about-restaurant.php">The Dairy Tearoom</a> and a spot of <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/about-shop.php">shopping</a> for foodie presents to take home to Australia.<br />
<br />
However, it isn’t just Mooorial who is milking all Elma’s attention - Daisy, Moorials cousin from downunder, stands happily outside the local supermarket in Berry, the next village to Elma’s.<br />
<br />

<br />
The township of Berry has very strong Scottish connections, as the Berry brothers (Alexander and David) who pioneered the area in the early 1800s, were born in Cupar Fifeshire and bequeathed £100,000 to St. Andrews University where Alexander had studied medicine.<br />
<br />
In fact, Berry’s mayor recently sent a request for William, Kate and baby George to spend some time in the area ahead of their tour of Australia and New Zealand.<br />
<br />
She used the fact that without Alexander Berry’s bequest, there would not have been a viable St. Andrews University, so in fact, the Berry brothers were responsible for them meeting each other!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, she didn’t succeed in her request - but we can’t blame her for trying can we?<br />
<br />
Does anyone else have any photos with Mooorial, or any stories that they would like to share? Or do you have any of Mooorial’s long lost relatives that you would like us to see? <br />
<br />
Get in touch on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MitchellsDairy?fref=ts">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/MitchellsDairy">Twitter</a>, or upload your photo to Facebook, Twitter or <a href="http://instagram.com/mitchellsdairy#">Instagram</a> using the hashtag #MooorialMemories and we will share our favourites online. <br />

As we revealed in our <a href="http://mitchellsdairies.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/mitchells-dairy-are-cream-of-crop.html">previous blog post</a>, <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/index.php">Mitchells</a> scooped two awards, the Sustainable Retailer of the Year and Health Promoting Retailer of the Year, at last month’s <a href="http://www.scottishgrocer.co.uk/awards2014/">Scottish Grocer Awards</a>.<br />
<br />
But what is it that made Mitchells stand out from the rest of the nominees? In this blog post, we thought we would tell you a little more about the small things that we do to encourage healthy eating and sustainability, and how they go a long way to benefiting the local community. <br />
<br />
At Mitchells, we constantly seek to improve our working practices in order to be as sustainable as possible, and the Sustainable Retailer of the Year award, sponsored by Resource Efficient Scotland, paid homage to our increasing awareness of environmental issues.<br />
<br />
Our company vans run on biofuel, our waste cardboard is baled and collected for recycling into more cardboard, and by trading with local companies, from bakers to farmers, we cut down on food miles and lower the business’s carbon footprint.<br />
<br />
Food waste, meanwhile, is minimised by careful management of date-marked products; some of it goes to feed local pigs and the remainder is collected by a waste management company and turned into compost. <br />
<br />
This compost is not only used by local farmers as a nutrient source for their cropping programmes, reducing reliance on artificial fertilisers, but we also use the compost for our hanging baskets and window/roof boxes flower displays helping, enhancing the appearance of not only our business but that of the town itself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqtCnV4Xe6Y5VWZqU_WmY3CXAw-LkTU1OfsKLTtDaBkF_qHLoz0K-0gZiw_GXw8oMwWaQWs2cUCEKisX6cNKKLaX59hRIqqg2HwNZ3E80YxhKrAu-zRtbV41ahf0ni5M4X6DKSJY3pa8/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyqtCnV4Xe6Y5VWZqU_WmY3CXAw-LkTU1OfsKLTtDaBkF_qHLoz0K-0gZiw_GXw8oMwWaQWs2cUCEKisX6cNKKLaX59hRIqqg2HwNZ3E80YxhKrAu-zRtbV41ahf0ni5M4X6DKSJY3pa8/s1600/photo+3.JPG" height="350" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
The Health Promoting Retailer of the Year, meanwhile, recognised us for the role we have played in helping to create a healthier Scotland. <br />
<br />
Our business philosophy says it all – ‘Naturally we’re Local’. Fresh, locally produced food plays a big part in a balanced, healthy diet, and naturally, we concentrate on providing high quality local produce as well as excellent fruit and veg, and deli produce.<br />
<br />
Local suppliers are very important to us, and we are incredibly proud to say that our shop currently stocks almost 70% of locally produced or sourced goods and our tearoom nearly 80%.<br />
<br />
Seasonality, provenance, and food miles are important to us and to our customers, and where possible, we source locally and in season direct from the producers, and use Scottish suppliers for as many of the core range of goods as possible.<br />
<br />
One of the most satisfying things is too see more and more young customers coming through the door who are thinking more and more about where their food comes from, especially in terms of fruit and vegetables, meat, bread, dairy, and fish.<br />
<br />
Fish, in particular, are good sources of many vitamins and minerals, and as most of you now know, we have teamed up with <a href="http://www.downiefish.co.uk/">Downies of Whitehills</a> to introduce a Fresh Fish counter into our store. <br />

As we’re sure you noticed on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MitchellsDairy">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MitchellsDairy">Twitter</a>, we were delighted to have won two awards at last week’s <a href="http://www.scottishgrocer.co.uk/awards2014/">Scottish Grocer Awards</a> at a glittering black-tie ceremony in Glasgow’s five-star Hilton Hotel.<br />
<br />
The Scottish Grocer Awards, which were hosted by sports TV presenter Georgie Thompson, with entertainment from comedian and magician Pete Firman, recognised the best in Scotland’s community retailing scene.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for us, the best included Mitchells - as we landed the Sustainable Retailer of the Year and Health Promoting Retailer of the Year!<br />
<br />
The Sustainable Retailer of the Year award, sponsored by Resource Efficient Scotland, paid homage to our increasing awareness of environmental issues, while the Health Promoting Retailer of the Year recognised us for the role we have played in helping to create a healthier Scotland.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all our friends and customers for your kind wishes and continued support. Our fantastic team always strive to provide the freshest, tastiest and healthiest products to our local community in Inverurie, so we were over the moon to be rewarded for our efforts.<br />
<br />

Are you one of the 50% of people who skip breakfast at some point during the week? Or one of the 21% of people who do so purely to spend longer in bed? If so, this week is the time to change - as it is <a href="http://www.shakeupyourwakeup.com/content/about-farmhouse-breakfast-week">Farmhouse Breakfast Week</a>!<br />
<br />
Organised on behalf of UK cereal farmers and producers who grow crops such as wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape, Farmhouse Breakfast Week and the <a href="http://www.shakeupyourwakeup.com/">Shake Up Your Wake Up</a> campaign encourages more people to enjoy a healthy and tasty breakfast.<br />
<br />
The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of the benefits of eating a healthy breakfast and demonstrate the wealth of wonderful breakfast produce available around the country - and we will be doing our bit to support the campaign at <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/">Mitchells Dairy.</a><br />
<br />
Running from Monday 27th January to Saturday 1st February, we will be offering our great selection of tasty breakfast options from 7.30am - 5.30pm - and regardless or whether you sit in or take away your breakfast as food on the mooove, there is no better way to start your day.<br />
<br />
Breakfast options include hot filled rolls (bacon/sausage/egg or a combination), cereal, toast, croissants, butteries, fresh homemade scones, porridge and eggs/omelettes.<br />
<br />

<span id="goog_745237662"></span><span id="goog_745237663"></span>If you are planning on beating the winter blues and having a Burns Night celebration this weekend, you will be glad to know that you can find everything you need at <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/">Mitchells Dairy</a>.<br />
<br />
From locally grown neeps and tatties, to a range of haggis from the likes of <a href="http://www.macsween.co.uk/">Macsween of Edinburgh</a>, <a href="http://huntlyfarmersmarket.co.uk/pages/catalog/scotts-of-huntly13.php?cat_id=1&number=0">Scotts of Huntly</a> (a Scottish Haggis championship winner no less!) and <a href="http://www.thebestof.co.uk/local/aberdeen/business-guide/feature/presly-and-co">Presly of Oldmeldrum,</a> we can guarantee you won’t need to look elsewhere for your traditional Burns Supper ingredients.<br />
<br />
Of course, a delicious dessert is a fitting ending to any Burns Supper, so to complete your meal in style, how about a mouthwatering combination of Mitchells Crannachan ice cream made by <a href="http://www.rizza.co.uk/">Rizza’s of Huntly</a>, raspberries from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/barraberries">Barra Berries</a>, and toasted Aberdeenshire oats to give a true taste of Scotland?<br />
<br />
If you fancy yourself as something of an amateur baker, you may even want to try your hand at Paul Hollywood’s <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cranachan_cheesecake_54836">Cranachan Cheesecake</a>, which featured on <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/programmes/b03hcv64">Paul Hollywood’s Pies & Puds</a>, and which imaginatively used <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/products.php">Mitchells’ handmade oatcakes</a> as the base of the dessert.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span id="goog_1824919984"></span></b><br />

<b> </b><span id="goog_1824919985"></span></div>
<br />
If you aren’t quite full by then, we also have a wide selection of Scottish shortbread and cheeses, which are absolutely delicious with our aforementioned handmade oatcakes.<br />
<br />
Of course, no Burns Supper is complete without whisky, and you will be glad to know that we have a great range of whisky at very competitive prices to toast the Bard.<br />
<br />
To ensure you have your ingredients in time for Burns Night, simply ask in-store at the deli counter. If you would like any haggis or Burns Night items sent to family or friends anywhere in the UK, please contact us on <a href="mailto:info@mitchells-scotland.com">info@mitchells-scotland.com</a> and we will be happy to help.<br />
<br />
We hope you all have a fantastic Burns Night, and from everyone at Mitchells Dairy - to the immortal memory of Robert Burns!<br />
<br />
If you are having a Burns Night celebration, please share your pictures with us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MitchellsDairy?fref=ts">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/MitchellsDairy">Twitter</a>, and feel free to share your recipes with us too - we would love to tell our community about them. <br />

<a href="http://www.cambusomay.com/" target="_blank">Cambus o May cheese</a><br />
All of Cambus O'May's cheeses are handcrafted using unpasteurised milk from traditional recipes. Unlike mass-produced cheese that is standard in consistency and often unexciting in taste, cheese made with raw milk boasts a wealth of interesting flavours and textures. Part of the charm of producing raw milk cheeses is the difference in flavour that comes with different seasons so expect subtle changes in the cheese as the year goes on.'<br />

As well as these samples, representatives from Charlie House will be attending to host a raffle as well as sell their Charlie beanie bears to raise money for the charity.<br />
<br />
There will also of course be an opportunity to browse our range of Christmas hampers; which can be a bespoke creation of your choice, or you can pick from our already designed range!<br />
<br />
With every hamper bought or ordered on the night, a donation will be made to Charlie House from us at Mitchells!</div>

Tickets can be purchased in person, by phone (<b>01467 621389</b>) or via email (<a href="mailto:judy@mitchells-scotland.com">judy@mitchells-scotland.com</a>) in exchange for a suggested donation price of just £5 to the Charlie House Appeal<b> </b>- we hope to see you all there! <br />

<br />
<br />
Judy recently had her 15 minutes of fame in London, and we cannot forget about the rest of the Mitchells team, that’s why we were delighted to be awarded the <a href="http://www.scottishshop.org.uk/" target="_blank">SGF</a> (Scottish Grocers’ Federation) Healthy Option Retailer of the Year at the first ever <a href="http://www.scottishshop.org.uk/latest-news/285-sgf-retail-excellence-awards-2013" target="_blank">Retail Excellence</a> awards!<br />
<br />
The SGF promotes responsible community retailing and works with the government and the media to encourage a greater understanding of the contribution convenience retailers make to Scotland’s communities.<br />
<br />
Our fantastic team always strive to provide the freshest, tastiest and healthiest products to our local community in Inverurie, so we were over the moon to be rewarded for our efforts.<br />
<br />
There were only eight awards available on the day and for us to win the award, with the size of the SGF community, is truly humbling.<br />
<br />
Keith, who was presented with the award at the 5-star <a href="http://www.prestonfield.com/" target="_blank">Prestonfield House</a> in Edinburgh, said: “I am delighted for everyone - all our local suppliers here at Mitchells, and I cannot express how happy we are to be recognised in such a way for our efforts in promoting healthy eating.”<br />
<br />
Here is Keith being handed the award by Barry Cuthbertson (Muller Wiseman Dairies) and Robert Sider (SGF President) and Kaye Adams at the ceremony:<br />

<div>
<br />
Both of which are perfectly encapsulated in <a href="http://www.paulhollywood.com/" target="_blank">Paul Hollywood</a>’s new book, “<a href="http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/paul-hollywoods-pies-and-puds-9781408846438/" target="_blank">Pies and Puds</a>”.<br />
<br />
Hollywood said: "Man cannot live by bread alone—not even if the man is me. With this book, I want to rekindle our affection for straightforward, honest food. <br />
<br />
Pies and puddings really sum up the strengths of our culinary culture—there's something about a home-baked deep golden pie or simple steamed pud that warms the cockles of your heart like nothing else."<br />
<br />
The new book has countless recipes on sweet and savoury pies, as well as many delicious pudding recipes.<br />
<br />
You will find “meat and potato pie, pork, apple and cider pie, lamb kidney and rosemary suet pudding, sausage plait and luxury fish pie” amongst the pie roster. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
As well as these, the ‘Queen of puddings’, spiced plum pizza (yes, pizza), chocolate volcanoes and apple and Wensleydale pie will all be gracing the pages under the “Puddings” heading.</div>
<div>
Turn to p.197 and you will find the Crannachan Cheesecake recipe that our <a href="http://mitchellsdairy.myshopify.com/products/mitchells-oatcakes" target="_blank">oatcakes</a> are used in!<br />
<br />
Whether you're a sweet or a savoury person, a keen novice or an expert baker: it's time to get baking pies and puds.<br />
<br />
The book will be released on Thursday 24th October on <a href="http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk" target="_blank">Bloomsbury </a>publishing. </div>
<div>
It will be available in all supermarkets, WHSmith and online.<br />
<br />
The “<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/paul-hollywoods-pies-and-puds.html" target="_blank">Pies and Puds</a>” tv series will air in November also, so keep an eye out for <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/" target="_blank">Mitchells</a> and Judy!</div>

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’; <a href="http://paulhollywood.com/">Paul Hollywood</a>!
<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
Today, we’ll fill you in on some of the information and tasty details of the episode that Judy and <a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/">M</a><a href="http://www.mitchells-scotland.com/" target="_blank">itchells</a> will be featured in!<br />
<br />
“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.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/paul-hollywoods-pies-and-puds.html">BBC</a>.<br />
<br />
First of all, in August we hosted the <a href="http://www.spungoldtv.com/">S</a><a href="http://www.spungoldtv.com/">pun Gold</a> tv crew, who travelled up to Inverurie to film our delicious oatcakes being baked on the girdle (“griddle”)<br />
<br />
They filmed the handmade process in our bakehouse, that has used the family recipe of Great Grandmother Agnes Mitchell since 1928.<br />
It can sometimes be a slow process but as the old saying goes, “Quality over Quantity”!<br />
<br />
In our featured episode, the kitchen saw Paul welcome Sharon and Chris Peacock from <a href="http://www.goat-meat.co.uk/">Cockerham Goats</a>. Cockerham Goats is a family run business that is one of the UK’s longest established pedigree goat herders.<br />
<br />
Their premium Boer goat meat provided the main ingredient for the Goat-herders pie and is featured in Paul’s new book “<a href="http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/paul-hollywoods-pies-and-puds-9781408846438/">Pies and Puds</a>”. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.rachelallen.com/">Rachel Allen</a> 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 <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006v5y2">Saturday Kitchen</a> and she even has her own show on <a href="http://www.rte.ie/">RTE</a>: "<a href="http://www.rte.ie/tv/rachelalleneasymeals/">Easy Meals</a>". <br />
<br />
Paul and Rachel cooked up a tasty baked brie brioche and a coconut raspberry pudding.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://hf-cheeses.com/">Highland Fine Cheeses</a> Crowdie cheese made up the rest of the ingredients in the Cheesecake.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="https://twitter.com/MitchellsDairy/status/386028115849650176/photo/1">photo of him</a>. enjoying the leftovers!<br />

Those of you who are friends with Judy on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MitchellsDairy">Facebook</a> will know that she recently went on a “secret mission”.<br />
<br />
At the time of her mission, we couldn't tell you anything about it, but now we can reveal all. She was away in London to film with <a href="http://paulhollywood.com/">Paul Hollywood</a> on his new show “Paul Hollywood’s Pies and Puds”. <br />
<br />
It all started at the <a href="http://www.tasteofgrampian.co.uk/home/index.cfm?id=1">Taste of Grampian</a> in June. The Taste of Grampian is a one day food and drink festival which allows visitors to “discover and sample the wide range of high quality food and drink products from Grampian in the north east of Scotland.” <br />
<br />
It was a very successful event that saw the likes of celebrity Chefs <a href="http://www.nairns.co.uk/">Nick Nairn</a> and the <a href="http://www.channel4.com/programmes/sunday-brunch">Sunday Brunch</a>’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Rimmer">Simon Rimmer</a>. <br />
<br />
We showcased our Hand Baked Oatcakes as well as our Milk and Ice Cream. A food researcher tried our oatcakes and instantly fell in love with them. <br />
<br />
She asked if she could use our Oatcakes in a recipe to be featured in a cookery book she was working on with a celebrity chef, but wasn't allowed to tell us whose recipe it was. <br />
<br />
It later turned out to be Paul Hollywood’s recipe for a Crannachan Cheesecake and a TV series was being filmed to accompany the book! <br />
<br />
Judy was given the honour of being flown to London by the TV production company (<a href="http://www.spungoldtv.com/">Spun Gold</a>) where she would film the television show. <br />
<br />
Luckily, Judy has a friend who lives close to where filming was taking place, so decided to take the opportunity to enjoy a day of “market research” in London before returning home. <br />
<br />
Whilst she was there she visited <a href="http://www.harrods.com/">Harrods</a> and <a href="http://www.fortnumandmason.com/">Fortnum & Mason</a>’s to have a “wee look at the competition”, to see if their hampers were on par with Mitchells hampers. <br />
<br />
She said they were good, but still nothing could beat one of our <a href="http://mitchellsdairy.myshopify.com/products/50-bespoke-hamper">Bespoke</a> Hampers! <br />
