elcome to issue 22 of Kitchen magazine! As I gaze out of the window whilst writing, Mother Nature is throwing some extreme weather at us, incessant rain (it’s been raining for months on end it seems?), thunder, lightning, hail, gale force winds, and flash flooding. I am sure however that the warmer, sunnier days are just around the corner. Spring is, well, springing, and here at Harts we’re looking forward to the summer bloom.

In this packed edition, we have plenty of lovely new ranges and products to showcase, as well as lots of tasty recipes for you to try. From Roast Harissa and Pomegranate Spatchcock Chicken to the delicious and colourful Lemon Meringue Sponge Cake on the front page, there’s something for everyone.

On pages 12 and 13, you can read about our latest award wins and just one of our fundraising efforts, this time at the annual New Year’s Day Vintage and Classic Vehicle Run, which we are proud to sponsor, in Happening at Harts.

Our chosen Kitchen Icon for this edition is Samuel Groves, one of a very rare breed of British cookware and bakeware companies who design and manufacture to a very high standard here in the UK. On pages 33-38, you can discover the interesting history behind this Birmingham-based manufacturer, which began making kitchen equipment in 1817.

And how about turning your drab meals at home into something entirely more stylish and sophisticated, without breaking the bank? Our Buyers’ Guide on page 39 will provide plenty of inspiration.

Don’t miss your chance to win an amazing top-of-the-range Magimix 5200XL Premium Food Processor, worth £490, on page 51 in our fantastic competition!

An indispensable and valuable piece of kitchen prep equipment found in many of the best home and professional kitchens, it’s got to be a prize worth winning.

If you like getting out into the countryside or down to the beach, check out our Range of the Issue spread on pages 58 and 59. Navigate has two new collections to elevate your outdoor dining experience, whether you’re heading to a festival, planning a picnic in the park or off on a camping adventure.

From all of us at Harts, we wish you an amazing 2024, and we hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

HAPPENING AT HARTS Our latest news and views

Awards Rewards

Harts of Stur’s Graham Hart and Kirsty Allen proudly accepting their trophy from John Grayson, commercial director for Le Creuset UK & Ireland who were the category sponsors. Also pictured is comedian Jake Lambert who hosted the evening.

2023 was certainly a busy year for awards. After winning no fewer than four awards at the Housewares Awards at the start of the year, further success followed later in the year, most notably at the Excellence in Housewares Awards. Widely regarded as the Oscars for the housewares sector, we were finalists in four categories, eventually claiming the title of Independent Cookshop of the Year.

Upon winning the award, Graham Hart, MD, commented: “Winning this award was an exhilarating moment that filled our team with an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment. The feeling was a mix of joy and gratitude, knowing that our hard work and dedication to providing exceptional kitchenware and customer service had been recognised. This award means the world to all our staff as it validates their commitment to creating a space where cooking enthusiasts can find the finest equipment for their culinary adventures. It’s not just an acknowledgement of our store’s quality but a testament to the passion and expertise of our team. Winning this award serves as motivation to continue striving for excellence and to keep delighting our customers with the very best in kitchenware.”

Success continued at the Direct Commerce Awards with a win in the Homes & Interiors category.

ANOTHER FINE VINTAGE The 2024 New Year’s Day Vintage and Classic Vehicle Run, which Harts of Stur are proud sponsors of, raised a fantastic £1,470 for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance. The 28th running of this popular event, was waved off from Sturminster Newton by actress Hermione Norris and took in many local villages and towns before reaching the finishing line at the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance HQ in Henstridge.

Pictured in front of a beautiful Morris Bullnose are representatives of the Dorset & Somerset Ambulance being presented with a cheque by Graham Hart, managing director of Harts of Stur, alongside event organiser, Clive Dodson and members of his events team.

Summer garden tips

Ensure your garden looks its best throughout the summer months with these top tips from Michael, our Garden Department manager.

•As taller perennials, which are prone to flopping, start to grow, try and get their supports in early before they get too tall to do so.

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE CAKE The Coffee Loft is well known for its great selection of delicious home-made cakes and sweet treats. This recipe, from Coffee Loft Manager Ben, combines white chocolate and raspberries for a delicious and decadent cake.

SERVES 12

50g white chocolate drops

250g self-raising flour

200g raspberry jam

250g caster sugar

200g white chocolate

250g softened butter

200g softened butter

5 eggs

Dash vanilla essence

1tsp baking powder

200g icing sugar

200g raspberries

12 raspberries

•Tie in new stems of climbing and rambling roses as they grow longer - horizontally if possible - as this encourages more flowers.

•Prune spring flowering shrubs (such as Forsythia and Escallonia) after the flowers have finished which will ensure good flowering the following year.

•Sow seeds of salad leaves in batches during the summer to provide a succession of crops.

•Prepare shading for greenhouses to prevent overheating and scorching during the summer.

•During warm weather, dampen down floors of greenhouses to increase humidity.

•Apply a nitrogen rich summer feed on lawns to encourage leafy growth.

•Place houseplants outside in sheltered spots for them to benefit from air and light.

2 Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

•Take softwood cuttings of perennials like Penstemons & Pelargoniums and of shrubs such as Hydrangeas and Perovskia to increase your stocks of these.

3 Mix together the flour, softened butter, sugar, eggs and baking powder.

Once combined, add the raspberries and white chocolate drops and fold in carefully.

•Cut back summer flowering perennials such as hardy Geraniums and Delphiniums to encourage a second, later flowering.

4 Split evenly between the 3 tins and bake for 22 minutes until a knife comes out clean.

•Prune fruit trees in the prunus family (e.g. plums, apricots etc) during dry summer months to avoid infection by silver leaf fungus.

1 Grease and line 3 x 21cm cake tins.

5 Once the cakes have cooled, sandwich together with raspberry jam between the layers.

6 For the icing, melt the white chocolate. Whisk together the softened butter and icing sugar, once well combined, slowly add the white chocolate and vanilla essence until light and fluffy.

•Look out in store during August - September for the arrival of bulbs to plant in the autumn for colourful spring displays in 2025.

7 Using a palette knife, cover the whole cake in the white chocolate icing then decorate with 12 raspberries and a sprinkle of white chocolate.

Roast Harissa and Pomegranate Spatchcock Chicken

THE

LIST

The best thing about a spatchcock chicken is the increased surface area for maximum flavour – the chicken also cooks more evenly and quickly. Change up the flavour of the butter by substituting harissa for your favourite spices or pastes.

Le Creuset Chambray Stoneware 32cm Heritage Rectangular Dish Harts Price: £58.00

SERVES 4 1 whole free-range chicken, spatchcocked Sea salt and pepper, to season 3 cloves garlic, minced 150g melted butter 1 tablespoon harissa

Walton & Co French Limestone Chambray Set of 4 Napkins RRP: £20.00 Harts Price: £18.00

TO SERVE Pomegranate seeds Watercress Red onion, thinly sliced Store-bought tzatziki Baby potatoes

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2 Place the chicken in a Le Creuset 32cm Heritage Rectangular Dish an hour before cooking and season well with salt and pepper on both sides.

3 In a small bowl, mix the garlic, melted butter and harissa.

Brush all over the chicken, sprinkle with salt and roast in the oven for 35-45 minutes.

4 Baste with the butter and roasting juices every 15-20 minutes for a succulent and well-seasoned chicken. Serve topped with pomegranate seeds, watercress, thinly sliced red onion and tzatziki on the side, along with baby potatoes.

Cook’s Tip You can spatchcock your chicken by placing the breast side down on a chopping board. Cut along the sides of the chicken using kitchen scissors to remove the spine.

Flip the chicken on its back and press down lightly.

SEASONAL RECIPES

Halloumi with Spiced Pickled Raspberries The tang of the sweet and sharp pickled raspberries accentuates the creaminess of the halloumi. Makes a fresh tasting lunch or a generous starter.

SERVES 2 150g halloumi

1tbsp sugar

2tsp olive oil

100g raspberries

Mixed salad leaves

3 radishes, thinly sliced

SPICED PICKLED RASPBERRIES

1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

100ml cider vinegar

SOUR DOUGH CROUTES

1 star anise 4 peppercorns

100g sour dough preferably a day old

½ tsp fennel seeds

1 clove garlic, halved

pinch chilli flakes

1tbsp olive oil

1 For the pickles, warm the vinegar in a small pan with the star anise, peppercorns, fennel, chilli and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly. Add the raspberries, radishes and onion and leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes (can be as long as overnight) until you can see the ingredients changing and turning the vinegar pink.

2 For the croutes, preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/ gas mark 6. Slice the sourdough and rub the cut side of the garlic over the bread and then cut it into cubes. Drizzle with the olive oil, toss to mix and then bake in the oven for 5 minutes until golden and crisp.

3 Pat dry the halloumi with kitchen paper and then slice the block into 6 pieces. Heat the oil in a frying pan add the slices and cook for 3-4 minutes turning until golden on both sides. You may need to do this in batches.

4 Divide the leaves between plates, add the halloumi, spoon over the pickles and top with the croutons.

You can make the pickles and the croutons the day before if you want to a fast throw together lunch. For a meat version, slice 250g skinless chicken breast, season with some salt and pepper and pan fry in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through.

SEASONAL RECIPES

Hummingbird Bundt Has a cake ever had a more romantic name? Red velvet is certainly in the running but ‘hummingbird’ conjures images of brightly coloured birds with a tropical backdrop of palm trees and turquoise water. The name has done its job, pineapple and coconut will take you to the island of Jamaica, where the hummingbird cake originated in the 1960s.

SERVES 8 FOR THE 10-CUP SWIRL BUNDT® PAN: 15g (1 tbsp/½oz) butter 15g (1 tbsp/½oz) plain flour FOR THE CAKE 225g (1 cup/8oz) unsalted butter, melted 200g (1 cup + 2 tbsp/7oz) golden caster sugar 3 eggs, beaten 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste 225g (2 large bananas/8oz) bananas, mashed 200g (1 cup/7oz) canned crushed pineapple 65g (¾ cup/2¼oz) desiccated coconut 225g (1¾ cups/8oz) selfraising flour 100g (1 cup/3½oz) pecans and walnuts, chopped FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING 1 tsp vanilla bean paste 125g (¾ cup/4½oz) cream cheese 50g (3½ tbsp/1¾oz) unsalted butter, softened 300g (2¾ cups/10½oz) icing sugar, sifted 50ml single cream, or more to loosen TO DECORATE 2 passion fruit

1 Preheat your oven to 160°C fan/180°C/350°F/Gas 4.

2 Melt the butter, then use a pastry brush to brush it evenly over the inside of a 10-cup Swirl Bundt® pan, being careful to get into every nook and cranny. I find it easier to brush from the base up to prevent any butter pooling. Sift over the flour, moving the pan from side to side to coat it evenly. Turn it upside down and give it a final tap to remove any excess, then set aside.

3 Add the melted butter and sugar to a bowl and whisk together. Add the eggs and beat until smooth, then add the vanilla, mashed bananas and pineapple, mixing until homogenous. Add the coconut and flour and fold them through, followed by the pecans and walnuts. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 45–50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

4 To make the frosting, combine the cream cheese, vanilla and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer (or use hand-held electric beaters) and then gradually add the icing sugar. Pour the cream in and mix again until you have a thick but pourable frosting.

5 Spread the frosting evenly over the Bundt, sprinkle over desiccated coconut and briefly leave to set. Just before serving, slice the passion fruit in half and spoon the pulp over the top. You could serve fresh pineapple on the side and use the pineapple crown to decorate the centre too, if you like. Serve with tropical pride! This Bundt keeps well in an airtight container for several days.

Lemon Meringue Sponge Cake Indulge in the perfect blend of tangy lemon, fluffy sponge cake, and delicate meringue kisses with our irresistible Lemon Meringue Sponge Cake recipe.

SERVES 12 FOR THE SPONGE 176g unsalted butter 175g golden caster sugar 3 eggs Zest of 3 lemons 250g self-raising flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 100g Greek yoghurt FOR FILLING IN BETWEEN SPONGE LAYER 200g lemon curd 400g unsalted butter 800g icing sugar FOR THE MERINGUE MIXTURE 100g egg white 100g caster sugar gel food colouring

8 Then add purple food dye to bowl 2 and mix.

Then add yellow food dye to bowl 3 and mix.

9 Stack the cake by spreading some white buttercream on each tier and spoon on some lemon curd on each layer.

10 Using a palette knife or piping bag, add the yellow buttercream from the base up to the top of the first sponge.

11 Repeat the process with the white buttercream and start where the yellow buttercream left off and fill until it reaches the top of the second sponge. Save a few tablespoons of the white buttercream for later.

12 Repeat the process with the purple buttercream starting off where the white buttercream ended all the way to the top of the third sponge and ice the top of the cake.

1 Heat oven to 170°C/150°C fan/Gas 3.

Butter a deep, loose-bottomed, 18cm cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

13 Using a cake scraper or palette knife, smooth the sides of the cake until the colours gently blend into one another.

2 Beat the butter and caster sugar together until fluffy and pale in colour. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest. Fold in the flour, baking powder and ½ tsp salt, then fold in the yoghurt.

14 To make the meringue mixture, preheat oven to 100°C fan.

3 Spoon the mixture into the lined tin, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50-55 minutes, or until firm to the touch.

Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

4 Once the sponge is completely cool, slice it horizontally into 3 even slices to make a 3-tiered cake.

5 Mix the softened butter (400g) and icing sugar (800g) together until smooth and light.

6 Separate the mixture into 3 bowls: bowl 1 to have 700g of buttercream, bowl 2 to have 350g, bowl 3 to have 150g.

7 Bowl 1 is the white buttercream. To make the buttercream white, add the smallest amount of purple food dye and mix. You should see the buttercream transition from a faint yellow to a cool white.

15 Mix even weight of egg white to caster sugar – (we used 3 eggs which is roughly 100g of egg whites) in a clean bowl.

16 Place bowl on a bain marie to gently melt the sugar into the egg white – it’s ready when you can’t feel the sugar grains when rubbing some of the mixture in between your fingers.

21 For the larger meringues, these can be spooned or piped onto a baking tray. Use a cocktail stick dipped in gel food colouring to run through the meringue to get the coloured swirls.

22 Place in oven for 40-45mins then switch off oven. Allow the meringue to cool naturally in the oven – this will prevent the meringue from cracking from a change of temperature.

23 Once the meringue has been taken out of the oven and cooled, it’s time to decorate! Use your leftover buttercream to stick the meringue onto the top of the cake in any way you like. To fill in some gaps, you can pipe some buttercream dollops onto your cake as well.

Spanakopita Pie An incredibly easy midweek meal that is also great for big batch cooking. The leftovers are delicious cold the next day in lunch boxes.

Make double the amount of spinach and freeze half to use next time.

SERVES 8-10 12 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed 2 red onions or leeks, thinly sliced 5 cloves garlic, crushed 800g chopped spinach 200g – 300g feta cheese 50g butter Olive oil Black sesame seeds Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Homemade or store-bought Greek salad, to serve

1 For the pastry, separate the layers and brush each layer with olive oil, then sandwich the layers together.

You will need four sets of three layers. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside.

2 For the filling, blanch the spinach in a pot of boiling water, then plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Place spinach into a muslin cloth and squeeze well to remove all the excess water. Sauté the onions in a pan until slightly caramelised. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the spinach. Transfer to a bowl and crumble the feta, mix well and season to taste. Be careful of over-seasoning with salt, as the feta is naturally salty.

3 Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan-assisted. Grease a Le Creuset 30cm Signature Shallow Casserole. Place the first three layers of phyllo into the greased casserole.

Spoon a third of the spinach mix over the surface and repeat the layers and filling. Top with the final three layers of phyllo and brush with a little more olive oil.

Crinkle and fold the sides inwards and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 50 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and serve warm with a simple Greek side salad.

Strawberry and Champagne Picnic Cupcakes These beautiful cupcakes look gorgeous and will liven up any picnic, even if the good old British weather lets you down! If you want non-boozy cupcakes, just leave out the champagne syrup and add half a teaspoon of vanilla paste to the buttercream RECIPE BY TALACOOKING.COM FOR THE CUPCAKES 3 free-range eggs 150g caster sugar 150g baking margarine or softened butter 200g self-raising flour 3 tbs milk 0.5 tsp baking powder FOR THE SYRUP (OPTIONAL) 70ml champagne

sugar (filled to the 70ml mark in the measuring cup)

aside for later.

7 When the cupcakes are cool, use a serrated bread knife to level off the top of each cupcake. Cut so that the rounded top is kept in one piece and keep all these sponge ‘hats’ for later.

FOR THE DECORATION 250g butter softened 350g icing sugar l tsp leftover syrup (optional) 15 smallish strawberries, hulled, washed and dried

2 Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases.

8 Use the small sharp knife to cut a cone shape space at the top of each leveled cupcake. Space should be about the size of one of your strawberries, and it should point downwards, like an icecream cone.

3 Cream the sugar and margarine. Then mix in the eggs followed by the flour, baking powder, and milk, beating until the mixture is smooth.

9 Drizzle about a dessertspoon and a half of champagne syrup into the cone-shaped holes and around the sides of the cupcakes surrounding the holes.

4 Divide the mixture equally between the cupcake cases and bake for about 25 minutes until the cupcakes are well risen, golden brown and springy to the touch. Allow the cupcakes to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.

10 Push a whole strawberry into each hole, it doesn’t matter if the top sticks out slightly as you will pipe buttercream over shortly and it won’t be seen.

1 Preheat the oven to 170°C.

5 Measure the champagne and sugar into a small saucepan and heat gently until the sugar crystals have dissolved. Turn off the heat and allow to cool a little (or fully if you have time).

6 Prepare the buttercream by creaming the softened butter with the icing sugar until soft and pale then add two dessertspoons of champagne syrup and beat until smooth. Set

12 Transfer the buttercream to the piping bag and pipe a flat spiral or swirl shape over the top of each cupcake, covering the strawberry entirely. Then reach for the cut-off sponge ‘hat’, place it on top and pipe a small, this time ‘peaked’, swirl on top decorated with a quartered strawberry on top.

13 Snuggle them fairly tightly into the tin so they don’t fall over and enjoy with friends in the beautiful outdoors.

Hazelnut & Muscovado Gelato MAKES 1 LITRE 180g hazelnuts 700g whole milk 125g light muscovado sugar 4 medium egg yolks (65g) 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

1 Preheat oven to 160C fan. Place hazelnuts on baking tray and roast for 20 mins. With 5 mins remaining, add the milk into a pan on a high heat, bring to a gentle simmer and switch off the heat.

Magimix Gelato Expert Ice Cream Maker Satin Harts Price: £498.95

2 Once roasted, place the warm hazelnuts into the main bowl of your Magimix Food Processor and PULSE until roughly chopped.

(Alternatively, wrap hazelnuts in a clean cloth and crush using a rolling pin). Add the warm chopped hazelnuts into the warm milk and infuse for a minimum of 1 hour (longer improves flavour).

3 Strain the mixture through a sieve, removing the majority of the nuts. Then pass again through a sheet of muslin or fine cloth.

Alternatively, if using a nylon or cotton nut milk bag, simply strain once. Nylon absorbs less liquid so if using cotton, you may need to top up with more milk to 600g.

4 Return the 600g of Hazelnut milk to the pan and bring to a rapid simmer, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile mix the egg yolks,

sugar and vanilla in a bowl until slightly lighter in colour. Pour the hot liquid onto the egg yolk mixture, mixing continuously. Add this mixture back into the pan and cook on a medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon (85°C). Cool in a cold-water bath. For best results chill the mixture in a sealed container in the fridge for 4 hours or until it reaches 10°C. 5 Pour the mixture into the Magimix Gelato Expert and select the gelato setting. The machine indicator light will flash slowly once the desired consistency is reached.

Note: If serving from the freezer, defrost for 15 mins at room temperature – gelato is denser and should be served at around -8°C vs around -13°C for ice cream.

ew suppliers of hospitality products go back as far as Samuel Groves. The Birmingham-based manufacturer of kitchen equipment began in 1817, founded by Samuel Groves Snr, who started by making brass candlesticks. By the 1870s, now under the management of Samuel Groves Jr, who took over in 1866, production had expanded to include electroplated teapots and trays and by the 1910s, the business was a significant exporter of these kinds of products.

Henry Groves (1862-1936), was the third and last generation in the family firm and was listed in the 1881 census as having the occupation of Metal Spinner, a process still used at today. In 1917 Samuel Groves was registered as a Limited company. Moving to Musgrave Street, Hockley in 1921.

Business continued to boom, particularly during WWII, when Samuel Groves won a major government contract to produce aluminium trays along with many other items for the War Office and the Ministry of Works. This included the Sirius Incendiary Bomb Shield which utilised the existing serving tray tooling.

THE MAGIC OF THE MERMAID Samuel Groves war work helped create the foundations of the modern business, which in turn, gained a major boost from the introduction of the Mermaid brand in the 1950s.

Samuel Groves won a major government contract to produce equipment for the War Office and the Ministry of Works, including the Sirius Incendiary Bomb Shield.

The purchase of Samuel Groves by U Group Ltd. in 2014 was the beginning of a new chapter. Under the leadership of Lee McDonagh, who demands nothing but the best, the company continues to develop new products and utilise new materials, all of which are being manufactured at the U Group premises in Yardley Birmingham.

Samuel Groves encompasses all facets of manufacturing including metal cutting, presswork, metal spinning, welding, fabrication and injection moulding. In addition, they are able to design and manufacture their own tooling in house. 2017 also saw U Group Ltd. purchase Utensa, to increase in bakeware manufacturing capacity.

the time saw a statue of a little mermaid in an antique shop and brought her back to Birmingham where she took up residence in the foyer of the factory.

She has since proved to be an enduring logo that is instantly recognisable.

ONWARDS TO THE FUTURE The move into larger premises in Norton Street, Birmingham in 1965 enabled the company to expand its interests in cookware, bakeware, hollowware and utensils. Manufacturing operations were reinforced with the acquisition of the assets of G.W.Pearce & Co in 1995, which led to Samuel Groves becoming the original manufacturer of Agaluxe accessories for Aga Rayburn ovens and in 2002 with the acquisition of Buncher & Haseler, best known for its Longlife brand.

Add the remaining cooled rice, the spring onions and grated carrot and stir together in the pan on the heat.

3 Turn the heat down to medium-low then take a handful of rice and add it to the oil. Stand back as the oil will bubble up and may spit.

Once the rice has reached a golden colour, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with some paper kitchen towel.

Repeat this two more times so you have about 3 handfuls of crispy rice.

6 In a jug, mix all of the dressing ingredients together. Pour over the rice and vegetables in the pan and stir to coat.

7 Tip the contents of the pan out onto a serving dish. Top with the crispy rice, coriander, mint and red onion. Eat warm.

NOTE If you’re finding that the oil is spitting excessively when frying, the rice is still too moist. You need to dry it out a bit more before frying. To do this, transfer the tray of rice to an oven heated to 100°C and let it toast for 10-15 minutes in there, stirring occasionally, until it feels dry.

Homemade Sauerkraut Want to improve your gut health? Try out our easy homemade sauerkraut recipe in our 5 Litre Fermentation Jar. 3.7kg/8lb fresh green cabbage (core removed) Fresh filtered water 5 tbsp of salt

1 Thinly slice cabbage and place into a bowl. If you like crunchy sauerkraut slice your cabbage slightly thicker. Sprinkle with salt.

2 Using a muddler or wooden spoon, muddle and bash the cabbage for 10 minutes. This releases the liquid and creates a natural brine for the cabbage to ferment in. Continue until you have enough water to cover the cabbage.

3 Pack cabbage tightly into the Kilner® jar. Always ensure you leave a 2.5 inch/6.5cm headspace and add the water.

4 The liquid should cover the cabbage by at least 1cm.

5 Add the Kilner® Silicone Sheet & Glass Weight on top of the cabbage, used together, they weigh down the cabbage, keeping it submerged under the liquid.

6 Clean the rim of the jar removing any debris. Place the lid on top of the jar and insert the airlock into place. Fill the airlock with water and leave to ferment at room temperature (18°C - 24°C) for 1-4 weeks. Check daily that the lid is firmly down and secure. If the lid has raised, then push back into position.

7 After the first week, we recommend that you taste your sauerkraut every couple of days until the desired flavour and texture is achieved.

8 It can take up to 4 weeks for desired taste to be achieved. External factors like room temperature and thickness of cabbage can affect the process.

9 Once you are happy with your sauerkraut, store in the refrigerator or transfer to Kilner® Jars. Consume within one month.

3 Line a Size 36 pudding basin with some cling film letting the edges overhang by 15 – 20cm.

4 Cut four pieces of bread in half to give 2 lopsided rectangles per piece. Cut two slices into four triangles each and leave the final piece whole.

5 Dip the whole piece of bread into the juice for a few seconds to coat it and push it into the bottom of the basin. Dip the rectangular pieces one at a time and press around the basin’s sides so that they fit together neatly alternately placing wide and narrow ends up.

6 Spoon in the softened fruit, adding the strawberries as you go.

7 Dip the bread triangles into juice and place on top of the basin, trimming off any overhanging bread. Keep any leftover juice for later. Next, bring the cling film up and loosely seal it. Place a plate on top of the basin and keep it weighed down with tins etc. Leave to chill overnight.

1 Preheat oven to 170°C fan or 190°C, 375F or Gas 5.

Raspberries/Strawberries, or any soft fruit you fancy.

GLAZE Raspberry or strawberry jam depends on what fruit you are using.

Water to thin TO MAKE THE SWEET PASTRY

1 Sift the flour and icing sugar together into a large bowl.

2 Rub the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, you of course can speed things up by using a food processor if you prefer.

3 Add the yolks and water, until it is soft dough.

Mini Fruit Tartlets

This is a lovely easy recipe for a light summer dessert, cheap to make, up against what the bakeries and supermarkets charge for them! They look so professional, and they are super easy to do.

SWEET SHORT CRUST PASTRY 250g plain flour

4 Wrap the dough in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 mins.

While the dough is resting, let’s make the creme patisserie.

1 Whisk together the sugar, yolks and cornflour, then set aside.

2 Pour the milk into a pan, spilt the vanilla pods with a knife, scraping out the seeds, and put seeds and pods into the milk. If you have no vanilla pods, I find 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste works as well, bring to the boil, remove from the heat, and rest for 10 mins.

3 After 10 mins start whisking again the sugar/egg mixture, and very slowly pour the hot milk into the mixture, whisking all the time, return the mixture into the pan, and heat gently, stirring now continuously until the mixture thickens, remove from the heat.

2 Roll out the pastry, about the thickness of a pound coin and line the greased tartlet tins, the ones with removable bottoms are best and prick the bottom with a fork.

3 Place some parchment paper in the bottoms, with some baking beads, or dried beans, and place in the oven on a baking sheet for 15 mins, this is what you call baking blind.

4 Take out the cases, remove the parchment paper and beads and brush the beaten egg on the bottom of the cases, this helps seal them, and return to the oven for 5 mins or until cooked. Leave to cool.

THE GLAZE

1 Take a good tablespoon of jam, and a tablespoon of water heat in the microwave, heat until you see bubbles.

2 Sieve to get any lumps of fruit and seeds out, set aside.

ASSEMBLY

1 Pipe or spoon the chilled creme patisserie into the pastry cases.

2 Arrange the fruit neatly on top.

3 Brush the fruit with glaze and chill.

4 Lovely served with cream or ice cream or just on their own.
