The Aby Village Show – part 3

21 August 2010 by Dominic Franks

today’s the day!  It’s all very exciting… I can feel the tension in the air…

… I could say things like…’it’s only the local village show’… and … ‘ it’s just cooking, relax, don’t worry’… but I know i’d be lying to myself…. our little community is so important to us here and I love being a part of it and this is just another way for us to be involved and have fun.

I’ve had a couple of kitchen disasters… I still can’t bloody well pipe icing exactly how I want it to be (even though I slaved and slaved over the icing recipe…) and it always ends up spooned on… and my chocolate sponge cake doesn’t look quite like I was expecting… but what can you do eh?

I need to submit my entries by 11am, then the judging happens, then at 2pm the show is open to the public and we all go over to see who’s won… followed by an auction of all the product… an absolute blast…

… and so finally I can reveal that representing Belleau Kitchen 2010 we have:

Miss Cottage Loaf


Miss Chocolate Sponge Sandwich with Buttercream filling


Miss Red Velvet Cupcakes with Buttercream icing and lavander flowers
Miss Four Fruit Scones


Miss Shortbread Round

i’ll report back later today… can’t wait for the fun to begin… wish me luck…
eat and of course, enjoy!

    Wow, Miss Shortbread will surely be the star of the show – you figured it out then? I wouldn't mind putting a bid in for that too.

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!

Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-F Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-Flour Tortillas

Not more Brussels sprouts I hear you cry! But like puppies, Brussels are not just for Christmas.  They are a very versatile vegetables and can be used in so many recipes, plus they’re packed with the good stuff. They’re high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.  If all this isn’t good enough for your wellbeing then ive added some tangy Mexican-inspired spices and some homemade tortilla’s to remind us all of the sunshine and holidays… remember them?
