I grew up eating beetroot from my parent’s allotment, always cooked in a pressure cooker, and freshly cooked beetroot remains one of my favourite vegetables. My friend Angela pointed me to this recipe from Waitrose.com and as I already had most of the ingredients I decided to cook it the same day.Slight tweak when i got to my local green grocer’s and saw they had bunches of heritage beetroot. Delicious and refreshing especially for scorching days like this….carrot, beetroot and orange are such a classic combination.

Leek Soup with Blue Cheese (4)
Â
Leeks are plentiful during the winter months and this leek soup is a great way to use them.This recipe is from ” Moro East” by Sam and Sam Clark. If you have some Picos de Europa cheese ( which you might find in a Spanish delicatessan such as Brindisi in London, or El Colmado in Bristol) use it, but Stilton or Roquefort work well too.
