Recipes

'The M&G Garden ' 2011 is a modern take on a traditional kitchen garden, one that you can both live with and live from. Given that 'The M&G Garden' will be full of delicious fruits, vegetables and herbs such as pears, courgettes and parsley, we thought it would be a great idea to share some recipe ideas based on this produce.

We've uploaded a couple of our favourite recipes that use items grown in 'The M&G Garden' as the key ingredients, but  we'd love you to send us your favourite recipes too and Will Nott, M&G's CEO will  pick his favourite, awarding two free tickets to visit the RHS Chelsea Flower Show on 27th May to the winning recipe creator. If possible, send us a photo too so we can see your tasty creation!

We'll upload your recipe and any photos here so that others can try making it for themselves and hopefully even leave a comment to try to influence the judges and make yours the winner!

 

** Congratulations to our winner Claire Lowe who won with her recipe of goats cheese and courgette on toast **

Courgette Cake

A beautifully light and moist cake

1 comment

Here is my recipe for Courgette cake - you may think it odd, but its not really any different to carrot cake, just a different veg! It is a really nice light and moist cake - just sweet enough, but the addition of lime juice adds some zing.

Your garden has such a lot of fabulous vegetables. But what stands out are a large variety of tomatoes and herbs. So I think I'd make bruschetta toppings so that the different tomato varieties could be showcased.
