In today’s delivery of farm fresh deliciousness…
I’ve just received my next box from Farm Direct and it’s another corker. Some of the new products I’m trying:
- Free range eggs from James Murdoch’s Duck Lane Farm in Cardington, Bedfordshire
- An amazing walnut and apricot loaf from Matt Jones’ Flour Power City Bakery in Surrey Quays
- Red, green and yellow peppers from Ted’s Veg Farm in Bennington, Lincolnshire. Hurrah for these being in season in the UK now. I had been buying them from Sainsbury’s I’m afraid
- Garlic, also from Ted’s 
Veg
- Rainbow chard from Martin Mackey Ripple Farm Organics in Canterbury (I admit I have no idea what I’m going to do with this yet but in the photo it just looks so pretty)
I’ve already made a tasty breakfast of onion omelette on walnut bread. And lo, the hangover is gone!

That sounds amazing! I did have a go last night, before I saw your advice, and steamed the whole leaves together. Needless to say the stems were very tough….Will try it your way tomorrow! xx

Ooh, I love swiss chard…. you have to cook the stems first (as they take longer) and then chuck the leaves in towards the end. Do them with a bit of your garlic, and then once it’s cooked you can bung in what’s left of your eggs and make an amazing frittata. Save me a slice?? xx
