On the 14th November 2013 we organised an evening to demonstrate the art of lamb butchery and some simple pork charcuterie.  We held this at Green Directions in Stannington and with brilliant input from Mark and his wife Sarah.  Barry from All things Wine and More made excellent wine pairing and Gwilym, our favourite sheep farmer did an amazing job with the butchery demo.

Cooking for your Christmas day lunch can be a stressful affair so its good to keep things simple.  Some planning and preparation goes a long way to ensure that you spend time with family and friends rather than the kitchen.

I will be making this delicious and simple pate for our family Christmas meal.  As well as being simple and actually better made in advance it has all the elements of our cooking ethos: local sourcing, belly pork and streaky bacon from Moss Valley Fine Foods with locally foraged windfall apples from this years bumper harvest.
