| Dexter beef ... before |
Cindy xx
My name is Cindy and I live in a beautiful village called Cubbington, which is nr Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, and I love being creative. I would like to share some of my creative ideas, some recipes, and also some stories about what I get up to every week. I will post regular updates about my exploits, whether that be at work or home, or while out in the countryside at the weekend ... I hope you enjoy it!

Fresh vegetables from my plot and Dexter beef!
Tonight's tea was pretty impressive (even if I say so myself), and David was delighted with it. I cooked some of the Dexter braising steak and everything I served with it was from the plot, that's potatoes, carrots, peas, courgettes, Yorkshire puddings and mint! You're probably thinking that I'm going a bit bonkers as Yorkshire puddings are not grown on an allotment .... but I've included them because they were home made with eggs laid by my chickens!
The above was quickly followed by a rather nice rhubarb crumble .... and guess where the rhubarb came from? That's right, the allotment, and I wonder if anyone reading this has ever taken a stick of fresh rhubarb and dipped it in a bag of sugar, I know I have! I used this rhubarb crumble recipe from the BBC Good Food website, and served it with some nice vanilla custard, although I didn't use the chopped walnuts (which were optional), you can also find the recipe on my favourite recipe page.
