Strawberries in Tarragon and Lavender Custard:

Ingredients for Two "passionate" people:

1 Punnet of Strawberries (later in the Summer you can do a mixture of other locally grown soft fruits)
3 Free Range Cotswold Legbar Egg Yolks
2 Free Range Cotswold Legbar Eggs
2 oz Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Lypiatt House Honey
Chopped Selsley Tarragon
1 Cinnamon Stick
1 Split Vanilla Pod
2 Meringues
1/2 Pint of Fresh Cream
Finely Chopped Lavender
2 Scoops of Local Ice Cream or Yoghurt

Method:

Wash and hull the Strawberries and place in a bowl
Whisk together the eggs, yolks, sugar and honey
Bring to the boil the cream, vanilla, cinnamon, tarragon and half the lavender
Once boiled pour onto the egg mixture, stir well and return to the heat
On a slow heat whisk or stir continuously till the mix thickens. This is the egg cooking. To test it is ready the mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Once ready pour over the Strawberries and allow to infuse
To serve place a meringue in the centre of the bowl, fill with some of the "anglaise" mix. Next place a scoop of ice cream in the centre and top with a further amount of berries. Perhaps drizzle with Selsley Herb mulling syrup or Local Honey. Use some fresh mint and a sprinkling of the remaining Lavender and dusting of icing sugar to serve

Ingredients:

1 Individual Goats Cheese or pyramid slice (Cerney)
2 Sheets of Filo
1 Celery Stick
1 Apple (Hayles Fruit Farm)
1 Garlic Clove (Salt Box, Camp)
2 Leaves Chopped Basil or Chives (Selsley)
1 Lemon
2Floz White Wine (Three Choirs)
2Floz Apple Juice (Days Cottage)
1 Shallot (Duchy)
5 Floz Homeliegh Farm Whipping Cream
Seasoning
5oz Soft Netherend Farm Butter
2oz Pine nuts

Method:

Butter the leaves of filo pastry and place one on top of the other
Wrap your Goats Cheese tightly in the pastry topped with a little Kitchen Garden Preserve Spicy Apple Chutney- refrigerate
For the Waldorf salad baton a stick of Celery and cut some fine strips of Gloucerstershire Underleaf or Cox's Apple
Roast some Pine Nuts with a little Gloucestershire Honey add some chopped Selsley Herbs and a tablespoon of Mayonnaise
Mix well and put aside ready to serv
For the Butter Sauce chop the Shallot and place in a Saucepan with the Three Choirs White Wine
On a slow heat reduce the wine to the point that it becomes quite a sticky syrup. Next add the Whipping Cream and bring to the boil
Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the soft butter to create an emulsion. Squeeze in the Lemon Juice and Season (do not use to much salt because of the flavour of the Cheese)
To cook the Cheese use a frying pan and Olive Oil
Heat till a visible haze can be seen
Place the Cheese presentation side down into the pan
Once golden turn over and repeat on all edges. The idea is to have a crisp outside pastry, soft cheese on the outside and just firm in the middle
Once cooked place some Waldorf in the centre of the plate the filo parcel on top and drizzle of butter sauce around
Top with an English Watercress Salad and Balsamic Reduction
