This is something quite decadent about the french macaron… smaller than a traditional sweet bake, but so full of flavour and when made well, they are both crisp and chewy. They are a difficult bake to master and time consuming to make, but they are…
Have you had trouble when trying to find Fishmongers in Dorset? It wasn’t that long ago that finding somewhere to buy fresh fish outside of a supermarket was difficult, especially in East Dorset. Since the pandemic forced the first lockdown in March 2020, our local…
A crumbly biscuit base, some gooey caramel and a topping of soft chocolate… these sweet treats are a great little pick-me-up at the end of a long day and this recipe for Millionaire’s Shortbread is delicious. In my opinion, a large caramel layer that makes…
This delicious recipe is for a meltingly tender, slow roasted, rolled lamb joint and we got our rolled shoulder joint from Green Farming in Milton Abbas. Cooking our succulent rolled lamb shoulder was made all the more simple because the majority of the preparation work…
Sometimes the simple things are the best. This is the first cake I learnt to make as a teenager and I have never found a better Victoria Sponge Cake recipe (thank you Mum!). This versatile recipe can be adapted to add all sorts of delicious…
There is nothing better (in my opinion) than a freshly made, heavily sugared doughnut, filled to the brim with raspberry jam. They are not difficult to make but they do take a little time… but who doesn’t have some free time at the moment?! This…
Heather recently had this recipe published in the Blackmore Vale magazine and it is one of her favourites. This recipe will provide you with that delicious deep Christmassy flavour whether you make it 2 months or 2 days before Christmas. The secret is cooking together…
With the uncertainty of what Christmas might look like, some of our local farmers might not have the orders they might usually have this time of year as people wait to see how many family they can have over for Christmas. So whilst we wait…

I am a huge fan of flowers… growing in the garden, cut in a vase, dried or edible. I love the bright colours, the smell, the shapes, the textures, all of it! Imagine my joy when Polly’s Petals contacted me to tell me about their…

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
