British Food Fortnight: 21st September – 6th October 2019.
We will be sharing media and activity during this high profile fortnight in the Food calendar.
MEMBERS PROPOSAL: We are exploring a high profile 2 week promotion called ‘Love British Food ICSA Cookery Course Fortnight’ In association with BFF. We will encourage members to host a series of courses focusing on: Sustainability. Seasonality. Sourcing British Produce. Each course teaching skills based cooking for the domestic cook. Children. Families. Couples. Students going to college! Ingredients may be sponsored by a high profile retailer. Keep the two weeks of BFF available to slot in new courses for extra National PR and revenue. More to follow.
Seasonal Recipes: Do have suitable recipes which tick our ‘core values’ boxes using seasonal, regional British ingredients? Love British Food will promote them on their website and link back to your page on ICSA to promote your school. Send them to us with a nice photo. See a list of what they require below:
British Beef – we are lacking beef recipes so a good home made beef burger would be great or something a bit more Spring/Summer focused if possible? The beef recipes we have are very winter based. Seasoned are doing us a beef curry and/or beef wellington
Breakfast – maybe a full English would be good, at the moment we have:
Crumpets
Homemade Damson Jam
Toffee Apple Pancakes
Irish Stout Buttermilk Porridge
Pancake Blinis with Parma ham,
poached egg and hollandaise
Sausage & eggs benedict
Sausages: Maybe a really good sausage & mash or toad in the hole? Or a gammon, egg & chips?
Ploughman’s: Good traditional ploughman’s
Pizza: Using British seasonal veg and English Cheddar
Dessert: Sticky toffee pudding, Eton Mess or Summers Pudding
Cake: Victoria Sandwich or carrot cake or Apple upside down cake or Eccles cake
Roast Dinner: We are lacking a good traditional roast
Apple Pie or Crumble: Definitely something with Autumnal seasonal fruits
Modern take on a pie
Soup
