CLA GAME FAIR
Last
year's show was rained off, but this year's looks like being hot and sunny. Just as we did when the show was at Blenheim in 2011, we will be
showing our fruit vinegars with Cotswold Gold rapeseed oil. Charlie from Cotswold Gold has just been awarded Cotswold Food Hero at the Cotswold Life Food Awards, so we are very proud to be sharing with him.

Raw Asparagus Salad Recipe
Unlike last year, the busiest time in the Summer food show season is being blessed with golden English sunshine. So, it was with a cheery bounce in my step that I recently set off for the inaugural Newbury Food Festival.
I knew that this show would be special since I had already arranged a cookery demonstration with our Lemon, Basil, Bay & Juniper Vinegar. Having corresponded a few times over the years with award-winning blogger, Caroline Taylor, this was the first opportunity we had to meet and for me to introduce Caroline to our whole range. Do take a look at her site, All that I'm Eating, where you will find some beautiful food photography doing justice to some interesting recipes like Elderberry and Apple Turnovers and Spring Green and Bacon Potato cakes. Also there is an asparagus recipe which Caroline adapted to take advantage of the depth of flavour of our vinegar, thus:

You
will need (for two):
A
bunch of asparagus
Rapeseed
Oil
Old Winchester (or
Parmesan)
Womersley Lemon, Bay, Basil and Juniper Vinegar
Black
pepper
Remove
the woody ends of the asparagus but leave enough to hold on to.
Peel the
asparagus from stem to tip, keep the stems (non woody) for making into a soup,
or if you’re feeling really adventurous a soufflé or sorbet.
Pile all your
peelings into a bowl, drizzle over some rapeseed oil, the Womersley vinegar, pepper and a
healthy shaving of Old Winchester.
Serve.
