LETTERS FROM THE LAKES

Discover the Lake District, Cumbria, through the eyes of some of our food & drink heroes.

I believe that the best meal is the one that's grown right outside your doorstep - and here in Cumbria, I find the push towards local food and local producers really exciting. It's brilliant to see and be part of a new wave of food producers growing and creating everything from rapeseed oil to seasonal veg to pasta. It inspires me a lot in my baking practice and recipe development, and there's something so special about using strawberries in a cake that were grown only a handful of miles away!

L'ENCLUME

With a host of Michelin stars and top-notch pubs, including four of the UK’s top 100, there’s no doubt that the Lake District is the UK’s leading food destination.

There’s been a dramatic increase in awareness around sustainability across the Lakes in recent years - something which forms an integral part of what we are about as a business. We grow a wide range of specialist produce on Our Farm, and source ingredients from trusted local suppliers, keeping quality high and food miles low.

We’re fortunate that the region is home to dedicated farmers, artisan producers and food businesses, who are all flying the flag for Cumbria and helping put the county on the UK food map.

The diversity and growth of Cumbria’s food & drink scene never fails to amaze me. As a proud son of the area and alumni of the hospitality sector I’m always cheerleading for our producers, business owners and service superstars. As well as some of the country’s finest natural backdrops, we are regularly recognised as having some of the leading foodie haunts and products. Is there a better accompaniment to a day in the lakes, an afternoon on our coastline or time spent exploring the area’s history than some freshly prepared fodder and a Cumbrian welcome? You’d be hard pressed to find one.

IN THE KITCHEN WITH… SHED 1 DISTILLERY, ULVERSTON

CHOCOLATE, CHILLI & ROSE BROWNIES

These are inspired by our Shed Loads of Love Gin which includes rose petals, lavender, strawberry and a hint of chilli. Delicious, easy to make, and you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

Shed One Distillery’s Afternoon G&Tea is gluten free and vegetarian. However, you can use any type of milk, and plain flour.

Ingredients:

270ml Soya Milk

237ml Sunflower or Vegetable Oil

1 tbsp Vanilla Extract

1 tsp Rose Water

140g Plain Gluten-free Flour

100g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

½ tsp Salt

½ tsp Baking Powder

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 170°C.

2. Choose your pan! Grease a 9”x13” pan, or an 8”x8” pan for deeper brownies. We use a 20-cup silicone mould to create bite-sized chocolate treats - no need to line or grease.

3. In one bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, vanilla & rose water.

4. In another bowl, thoroughly combine all the remaining ingredients

5. Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Use a spatula to combine, then pour the mixture into your prepared tin, pan or moulds. Smooth down.

6. 9”x13” pan: bake for about 16 minutes; 8”x8” pan: bake for about 22 minutes; 20-cup silicone mould: bake for about 13 minutes.

175g Brown Sugar

2 tbsp Cornflour

1½ tsp Chilli Flakes

1 tbsp Ground Instant Coffee (optional - adds some depth)

To decorate: Icing Sugar Water

Ground Rose Petals.

7. Test with a toothpick. They want to be just done.

8. Cool in the pan and pop in the fridge for a couple of hours (overnight is fine, and they taste better the next day). Cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

9. To decorate: Mix icing sugar with a couple of tablespoons of warm water to your desired consistency. Drizzle over the brownies and sprinkle some ground rose petals over the top.
