Following on from the success of her first book, Angela Redfern from Ripe has just released her new book – Ripe recipes, A fresh Batch. Angela is with us this morning to tempt us inside her latest book, and it is packed full of delicious recipes!
This week in the kitchen it is about pumpkin. Able to move between sweet and savoury, offering a smooth velvet like texture to soups, scones and pies, pumpkin is generally inexpensive and a winter staple. Let’s talk varieties, recipes and storage tips to get the best out of your pumpkin. Pumpkin in risotto is delicious, but almost better when allowed to cool and then formed into these risotto balls. This pumpkin pastry recipe is also a favourite of mine.
Looking forward to you company from 6am,
Tony and Helen
