Privilege to be in Pies and Puds

As Britons, it is not news to hear that two of our favourite foods as a nation are Pies and Puddings. 

Both of which are perfectly encapsulated in Paul Hollywood’s new book, “Pies and Puds”.

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.

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."

The new book has countless recipes on sweet and savoury pies, as well as many delicious pudding recipes.

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.

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.

Turn to p.197 and you will find the Crannachan Cheesecake recipe that our oatcakes are used in!

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.

The book will be released on Thursday 24th October on Bloomsbury publishing.

It will be available in all supermarkets, WHSmith and online.

The “Pies and Puds” tv series will air in November also, so keep an eye out for Mitchells and Judy!

#foodiefundraiser for RNLI

As we're sure you all know by now, Mitchells Dairy is always happy to be a part of events which raise money for worthy and deserving causes.

And on Thursday 9 May, we are doing our bit once again - by hosting the #foodiefundraiser in aid of RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea.

As well as Mitchells Dairy, there will be a wealth of other local suppliers who will have some of their products for those attending to sample.

Amongst those who will be taking part in the #foodiefundraiser are Downies, Gordon Presly Butcher, JG Ross Bakers, Pulsetta, Berry Scrumptious, and Devenick Dairy.

In addition, Enotria Wines will be promoting a range of wines including Urlar - a wine produced in New Zealand by friends of ours who moved there from Scotland 10 years ago!

Guests will be given an opportunity to speak to the food producers, sample their produce, taste wines chosen to compliment each product and enjoy some fun and fundraising; the local fundraising committee for the RNLI will be there to run a raffle and RNLI merchandise stall.

In hosting this event, we hope we can not only raise funds for RNLI, but also raise awareness of what they do and how they put their lives’ on the line to save the lives of others.

Tickets (in return for a suggested donation to the RNLI of just £10 per person) are available from the checkout in our shop, by phoning on 01467 621389 or emailing Judy at judy@mitchells-scotland.com
