Listed below are some sample recipes from the Everhot Cookery demonstrations using a great deal of Gloucestershire and South West produce. As Chef says during the demonstrations recipes are only a guideline and feel confident to explore other spices, flavours and ideas. The Everhot oven provides every aspect of flexibility that a cook needs to create everything from the simplest cheese on toast to the gastronomic Hot Raspberry Soufflé.

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 |
