If you like mushrooms, then this is the burger for you and if you don’t, once you have added all the trimmings, you will find it difficult to tell this juicy veggie burger from a meat one. Portobello mushrooms are relatively cheap; they are also…
This is so simple to make and turns a pretty basic sausage and beans dinner into something a bit fancier and is a wonderful comfort food. You can make your pastry from scratch but we’ve used pre made pastry here for ease.

Have you been to The Curlew before? It’s a gorgeous Georgian building, a stone’s throw from Bournemouth International Airport (so close you could see your friends arriving from Mallorca, pay your bill and reach the airport before they’ve sailed through passport control). I haven’t visited…

Here is a hugely popular recipe for the wonderful Dorset Apple Cake and is the perfect thing to use up those Autumnal apples. This is from a hand written recipe that has been kicking around our recipe books for a long time. I could say it is the true recipe for Dorset Apple Cake, but I would be wrong, because everyone has their own version and much intolerance abounds. Dorset Apple Cake is just a cake that has apples, brown sugar and sometimes cinnamon. The apples can be in the cake, on top, both on top and in the cake; it’s entirely up to you! It is also equally as good as a pudding with a good dollop of homemade custard top.
If you do use this recipe, please add comment below or even better please send us a photograph of your cake and we will pop it on our Instagam page. info@dorset.foodiefeed.co.uk
