Last weekend myself & Scott headed over to Kenyon Hall Farm to big the reddest, juiciest strawberries you have ever seen. They are so much tastier than the supermarket strawberries! We also picked up some redcurrants that I've used for red onion & red currant relish which is deeeeelicious with any cheese. It's my birthday at the weekend so I'm going to make a strawberries & cream cheesecake from the new hummingbird bakery book because it looks SO delicious, when I first got the book I said 'I NEED to make that in the summer!'. I am also cursed with the curse of always making my own birthday cake. I can't complain though, because I am rather fussy when it comes to cake and would rather make my own. Especially strawberries & cream cheesecake with locally picked strawberries! Yum.
Oooh they look really yummy! Hope the cheesecake goes well :)
ReplyDeleteOh British supermarket strawberries are so good so I can imagine the ones you picked being amazing!

I've not been strawberry picking in so long. You're so right, though - i remember them tasting so much sweeter than supermarket ones x
ReplyDeleteIn amongst all the cake talk all that caught my eye was that relish! I hope you'll write a post about that, yum!
ReplyDeleteOoh I've been very tempted to make that cheesecake too. Hope it tastes as delicious as it looks in the book (remember to take a photo!)
ReplyDeleteBy the way I love your dress. It looks like it has pockets too(?) If it does then I love it even more!
I love pyo and eating the sneaky few before they reach the pot...
ReplyDeletethis looks so similar to a place near me where I went the other day! that cheesecake sounds delicious, have a good birthday!
