Our feedback suggests that these have been very much appreciated in the past! Why not pick one up when in the shops or order one via email or telephone and we'll send one via the post with it becoming valid on receipt of payment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"> A delicious new snack product, inspired by crewing on a racing boat off the East Coast all last season. Ten of us raced every weekend and fed on Leech & Sons pasties with cheese pastry. 'Skippers' wife asked for a chicken based filling as her husband likes chicken.<br /> So here it is....... Savoury Chicken & Ham filling wrapped in a cheese Pastry Parcel.<br /><br /> Thanks Claire - sorry for the wait!!</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a foodie, aside from understanding the principles and food science of a process, the best way to learn about a food is to experiment and experience it. I've been meaning to have a go a cheese making and finally I have; albeit a basic soft cheese. But it's a start.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below I outline the steps I took in making my first attempt at a basic soft cheese and show the results I acheived.</span> </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly it is imperative to sterilise everything as cheese is an ideal food source for bacteria and during the process the temperatures used also encourage the bacteria growth. It is therefore important only the required good bacteria is allowed to grow and any unwanted micro-organisms are not introduced. </span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 1</strong>: </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the milk I used. 2 Litres of Jersey/ Guernsey cow's gold top milk. For cheese this should be unhomogenised.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Much milk these days is homogenised (process where fat particles broken down in size, this amongst other things eliminates the creamy top that would otherwise form on the milk), so must ensure unhomogenised when purchasing</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 2</strong>: </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A starter culture is carefully weighed for the 2 Ltrs milk</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">. (in this case using 0.05g)</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Starter cultures are bacteria that mature the cheese and give off Lactic acid which will help in the clotting and maturing of the cheese.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are various starter cultures available and I chose Choozit MA400 - a general purpose Mesophilic (prefering luke warm temperatures) starter.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 3</strong>: </span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The milk i</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">s placed in a bain-marie and gently heated to 32<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">°C.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The measured starter culture was then added. This was stired thoroughly to ensure a good even mix and left for around 30 miutes, whilst maintaining the temperature. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Step 4</strong>: </span></div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rennet was then added to coagulate the milk. This being stirred for no more than 3 minutes, then covered and the heat</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> maintained at 32<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">°C</span>. Setting took around 1 hour.</span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both Animal and Vegetarian Rennet are available. I chose Animal Rennet (from Calves stomachs) as it is said to work better. </span></span><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is important not to overdose on rennet and a small amount goes a long way. For my 2 litres of milk I used just ten drops. This needs to be mixed with cooled boiled water at a ratio of roughly 10:1 Water:Rennet allowing a better mix into the milk.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">When the curd will split cleanly when a knife is inserted, it is ready to cut. If it cuts unevenly or in a layered form leave it for longer.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The curd is cut to release and allow the whey (liquid) to drain off, leaving the milk protein (Casein) which then forms the cheese.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Larger cuts alow less moisture to escape from the curd and smaller cuts enable more to escape. So for soft cheeses the cuts tend to be larger and for hard cheeses they are smaller.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It can also be seen towards the bottom of the picure (</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">right) that the whey is coming out of the curd (where the cubes are not so well defined) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the two weeks the cheeses were sampled for flavour. The flavour is quite subtle but does improve with age and best after maturing for one week.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next experiments will involve flavouring the cheese with herbs etc, also I will experiment with mould ripening, giving a white mould rind to the cheese. This is developed through the use of Penecillium candidum.</span></span></div>

This is one of our latest additions to our range of popular cakes. You really wouldn't think it had all the beetroot in it that it does! Each 600g ish loaf cake starts off with around 300g of beetroot.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The colour of the cake mix starts off with a really reddish beetroot tinge as expected, but this changes dramatically on cooking to a normal cake colour!</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Following sample tastings in our Melbourn branch this has become our 'hot seller cake' of the moment. </div>

For Three Bird Roasts and Turkey Rolls we would recommend:<br />Ensuring any bird is fully thawed if frozen prior to cooking.<br />Cover with tin foil and place in oven at 160ºC. Cook for about 30mins/500g (1 hour /Kg) removing tin foil for last 30 minutes until golden. Ensure bird roast is fully cooked with juices running clear.<br />
For Turkey Breast Roll - Rest for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to eating.<br />For Three Bird Roast - Rest for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to eating.<br />
Enjoy.<br />

Listen to the Foodie show 7pm tonight to find out more. Also information is available at <a href="http://www.leechandsons.com/suppliers/">http://www.leechandsons.com/suppliers/</a> (look for Appledore turkeys).
