Indulge in British food during the Fortnight! Seek out in-season fruits and vegetables, quality British meat and some of our country’s fabulous cheeses and dairy produce when you are out shopping and use these to create delicious meals at home. What about trying some of our most traditional dishes, such as Shepherd’s Pie or Apple Crumble, and giving them a modern twist?!

If you have children, consider involving them in the preparation of the meal – British Food Fortnight is a great opportunity to teach them a few cooking skills as well as an appreciation of the pleasures and health benefits of eating good food.

There are lots of recipe ideas for you to try. Follow the Recipe menu options to find the one that tempts you most!

Cinnamon Apples and Plums

Recipe from World Cancer Research Fund: www.wcrf-uk.org
This recipe is published with kind permission from the nutritionist Jane Clarke.

Ingredients (serves 4)

4 Bramley apples, peeled, cored and sliced
6 Victoria plums, stones and skin removed
5ml (2 tsp) sugar
A dash of white wine and a little water
1 cinnamon stick

Method

Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is soft.
Remove the cinnamon stick and stir fruits gently to break up any large lumps of fruit.

Serve warm or chilled with low fat, vanilla ice cream, crème fraiche or plain yoghurt. It is also nice to roast some sunflower seeds, tossed in a little brown sugar, under the grill until they are golden brown – sprinkle on top of the stewed fruit.
