thanks for that. Might try the puree – what do you have it with though? Pasta? Last night was the grand unveiling of the broad beans – flame-grilled tuna drizzled with oregano oil on a bed of podded broad beans and peas (thank you Bird’s Eye) dressed with mint, lemon juice and olive oil. Obviously I didn’t come up with a recipe that impressive, Jamie did. Now I just have to work out how to get the 2 year old to eat the broad beans. Telling him that peas were ‘little apples’ worked last night. Manipulation and deception, it’s never too young to start…

Oh yes, broad beans and bacon have a real affinity.
I really enjoy taking off their little grey coats to reveal the emeralds beneath.
I steam them normally.
We went through a plethora of bb recipes last year as we grew so many but I’m worried I haven’t got enough this year.Broad bean puree is good – puree in a liquidiser with some olive oil and some garlic. Oh, and broad bean and calves liver risotto was quite good, too, and I’m not a real offal fan.

You’ve marinated them, now you must cook them. Mine know this and that is why they climb so high ( see May 7th).

I absolutely agree! I couldn’t bare it this week, we can at least hope they’ll pick up on it and drop the act in the coming weeks – as a live show they’ll get to see the feedback and can react.

[...] wait, Toby Buckland and Alys Fowler have started a worrying new mock fighting angle between the radishes and roses, and it’s manure. Alys Fowler at Berryfields, Photo [...]

Hello there! Glad yr telly debut went well – do let me know when you will be appearing. And, re your blog a few posts ago, who knows where it might lead? Toby Buckland watch out, that’s what I say…
And yes, Andy Sturgeon is very very nice. I met him years ago when he had just written that trendy gardening book (Potted?) and was poised for stardom and then again at Chelsea a few years ago and he was EXACTLY the same.
I’m sure you will not let the fame get to you, either….
