This dish utilises the fresh flavour of herbs, nutrient-rich spinach and creamy avocado to create a beautiful spring green sauce which is stirred into pasta and featured succulent prawns.</p> <p>Inspired by the viral Green Goddess trend that took social media sites by storm, and fitting into our 2024 food trends predictions (https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/2024-food-trends), this dish is sure to be an insta-worthy option for your trend-following diners.</p> <p>This dish was created by 2018 Master Chef quarter finalist, Chloe Milburn. With a background in marketing, Chloe is now pursuing her culinary passion and is working as a private chef, recipe developer and food stylist, working with major brands including Anchor, BOB, Cravendale and Morisons. Chloe has used her culinary expertise to design this health-conscious, simple and delicious pasta dish.</p> <p>Method:</p> <ol> <li>    Bring some salted water to the boil, add the conchiglie pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente.</li> <li>    While the pasta is boiling, add the Green Goddess sauce ingredients to a blender, adding 1tsp of salt and ½ tsp of pepper. Blitz together until smooth, adding more oil if required.</li> <li>    In a separate non-stick pan, heat the chilli oil over a medium heat, then add the prawns. Cook on both sides for a couple of minutes until pink in colour, then remove from the heat and set aside.</li> <li>    Drain the pasta once it’s finished cooking, leaving a cupful of pasta water to add to the sauce later. Return the pan to the heat and add the conchiglie, 4tbs of the Green Goddess sauce and some of the reserved pasta water. Mix until combined and heat through before serving.</li> <li>    To Finish, sprinkle with chilli flakes, add a drizzle of chilli oil, some shaved parmesan and cracked black pepper.</li> </ol> <p>Ingredients:</p> <p>For the Green Goddess Sauce:</p> <p>Small handful <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Curly-Parsley-3513">parsley</a></strong> <br /> Small handful <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Basil-3528">basil</a> </strong><br /> Small handful <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/-100g--4022">chives</a></strong> <br /> 50g <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Grana-Padano--Block-Parmesan-Style---12x1kg--4572">Parmesan</a>,</strong> grated <br /> Juice of 1 <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Lemons--120--4206">lemon </a></strong><br /> Small handful of <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Cashew-Nuts-2434">Chefs’ Selections cashews</a></strong> <br /> 2tsp  <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Garlic-Puree--6x1kg--5323">Garlic puree</a></strong> <br /> Small handful <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Baby-Spinach-3515">spinach</a></strong><br /> 3 <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Onions-Spring--12--4229">spring onions</a></strong>, roughly chopped <br /> 1 <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Avocadoes--RTE--3518">avocado</a> </strong><br /> 200ml <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/La-Espanola-Extra-Virgin-Olive-Oil--12x1L--5271">Extra virgin olive oil</a></strong> </p> <p>Additionally:</p> <p>1tbsp <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Roquito--Chilli-Infused-Oil--6x500ml--6458">chilli oil</a></strong> <br /><strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Chefs--Selections-Large-Cold-Water-Prawns-1252">Chefs’ Selections Large Coldwater Prawns</a></strong><br /><strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Chefs--Selections-Conchiglie-Shells-1783">250g Chefs’ Selections conchiglie</a></strong> <br /> Small handful basil leaves<br /> Small handful Parmesan shavings</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:180https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/easter-deliveriesEaster Deliveries<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Easter Opening 2024/Easter Lamb .png" alt="" width="726" height="485" /></p> <p> </p> <p>We’re stocked and ready to deliver everything you need this Easter!</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Friday 29<sup>th</sup> March </strong></p> <p>Deliveries, customer service and telesales operating as normal.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Monday 1<sup>st</sup> April</strong></p> <p>Please note that as the docks are closed, there will be no fresh fish deliveries on Monday 1<sup>st</sup> April.</p> <p>All other products and services will be available and operating as normal.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Tuesday 2nd April </strong></p> <p>As the docks are closed on Monday 1st of April, there will be no fresh fish deliveries on Tuesday 2nd April. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Wishing you a wonderful Easter,<br /></strong>From everyone at Pilgrim Foodservice.</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:176https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/in-season-produce-this-springIn-Season Produce This Spring<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/In-Season Produce Spring 2024/Spring.jpeg" alt="Spring image" width="600" height="400" /></p> <p>Although we’re living in a world where most produce is available all-year-round, nothing beats the taste, texture and freshness of in-season produce. With spring well and truly on the way, a whole host of fruit and vegetables are coming into season. Below, we’ve highlighted our top picks for March, April and May so make sure to incorporate these in-season beauties into your menus and specials boards.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/In-Season Produce Spring 2024/Blog banner 1_1000.jpeg" alt="March - Savoy Cabbage" width="1000" height="231" /></p> <h3>Savoy Cabbage | March</h3> <p>Just coming into season, <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Green-Savoy-Cabbage--5kg--5360"><strong>Savoy cabbage</strong></a> is mild and sweet with ruffle textured leaves. The vibrancy and unique texture makes a great contrast on the plate and the neutral flavour profile means that it pairs perfectly with rich flavours such as pork, duck and bacon.</p> <p>We work in partnership with <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Leggates"><strong>Leggates and Sons Ltd</strong></a>., a Boston-based supplier specialising in all things brassica! Leggates was established in the 1940s and since then, the farm has evolved to a more sustainable way of farming. They’ve adapted to grow larger crops, maximising crop yield. They have also increased their crop rotation period, with theirs being longer than other brassica growers, providing long-term benefits to the soil.</p> <p>Want to try something different with your cabbage? Roast cabbage wedges could be your next side dish. Simply cut your savoy cabbage into wedges or quarters, sear on all sides in an ovenproof frying pan, then braise with stock and butter.</p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/In-Season Produce Spring 2024/Blog banner 2_1000.jpeg" alt="Asparagus - April" width="1000" height="231" /></p> <h3>Asparagus | April</h3> <p>Coming into season for just eight weeks, starting around late April, <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/-20--4037"><strong>asparagus</strong></a> is a true spring-time delicacy. With a deep green colour and interesting spear shape, this veggie is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. Asparagus’s versatility means it can lend itself to a multitude of cooking methods:</p> <p>Blanching the asparagus in boiling hot water for a few minutes, draining then submerging in ice water until cool, will ‘set’ the vivid green colour. </p> <p>Grilling over a hot grill for around 10 minutes or until tender, will keep the authentic vegetal flavour while adding a smoky edge.</p> <p>Sautéing or stir-frying the asparagus works best for pieces cut down to between one and two inches in length and brings out a slightly nutty flavour.</p> <p>However you choose to cook your fresh asparagus, your guests are sure to appreciate the quality that this in-season veggie will bring to their meal.</p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/In-Season Produce Spring 2024/Blog banner 3_1000.jpeg" alt="Strawberries - May" width="1000" height="231" /></p> <h3>Strawberries | May</h3> <p>Usually coming into season at the end of May, it’s time to start thinking about these red gems and how to incorporate them into your menus.</p> <p>In our <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/2024-food-trends"><strong>2024 food trends report</strong></a>, we highlight nostalgia and comforts of the past as popular theme for this year. Strawberries are the perfect way to tap into this trend as they’re used in a whole host of classic desserts, including Victoria sponges, trifles, and Eton mess, to name just a few!</p> <p><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Strawberries-Punnet--10x250g--4345"><strong>Strawberries</strong></a> can also make a refreshing impact on your drinks menus! Whether it be an alcoholic cocktail or a cooling mocktail, customers won’t be able to resist the vibrant allure of fresh strawberries in a mojito, sangria or smoothies. </p> <p> </p> <h3>Pilgrim's Fresh Produce</h3> <p>Where possible we source locally grown and in-season produce to support our local farmers and deliver fresh, tasty and quality products to our customers.

Liz Reid, whose commitment to fundraising shines through her position on our Charity Committee, remarked, " We all jumped at the chance to take part in the Big Sleep Out. By taking part, we hope we did our part in increasing awareness of homelessness as well as raising vital funds to help those who are in need within Peterborough.”</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Big Sleep Out/Sleep out collage.jpeg" alt="images from the Big Sleep Out" width="600" height="400" /></p> <p>Rachel Atkin, our Head of People echoed this sentiment, reflecting on the challenging experience with a profound sense of empathy. "Spending the night out in the cold was eye-opening. It is humbling to realise that for many, this is not just a one-night ordeal—it really drives home that many are faced with similar conditions night after night with no warm bed to go home to the next day.”</p> <p>Whilst our Managing Director, Charles Bateman, could not be prouder of the team's efforts. "I just want to say huge well done to the team. We are all incredibly proud of Jim, Tina, Luke, Rachel, Liz and Sharon for taking on this challenge and for raising vital funds for two very worthwhile charities. Raising over £3,000 in just a week is an incredible achievement and a testament to the dedication and generosity of our team members, their families as well as our customers and supply chain.</p> <p>Charles continued, “I would specifically like to express my thanks to the team at Thrive, for their generous donation of £1,000.”</p> <p><span class="ui-provider ed bak bal bam ban bao bap baq bar bas bat bau bav baw bax bay baz bba bbb bbc bbd bbe bbf bbg bbh bbi bbj bbk bbl bbm bbn bbo bbp bbq bbr" dir="ltr">Sean Reddington, CEO at Thrive commented: “We’re delighted to have been able to support such a worthwhile cause.

With an estimated 3.8 million species of mushrooms, it certainly is a big world indeed!</p> <p>Those of you who have read our <strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/2024-food-trends">2024 food trends blog</a></strong> will know that we’re predicting an increase in consumer interest on the health benefits they can get from food. Mushrooms are low in calories and fat but still contain great nutrients, with portobello mushrooms being particularly high in potassium. They also have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the risk of developing autoimmune and chronic diseases such as cancer.</p> <p>The meaty texture and umami flavour of mushrooms makes them the perfect star of your meat-free menus this year. More and more chefs are choosing mushrooms over plant-based meat alternatives, which can often be packed with ingredients and chemicals, whereas mushrooms are a more natural option for vegetarian and vegan dishes.</p> <p>Once you’ve ordered your mushrooms, you may be wondering what the best way to store them is. It’s best to store fresh mushrooms in a fridge, in something breathable. If you’re wanting to freeze your mushrooms, we’d recommend cooking them first!

A croissant’s flaky texture is achieved through steam as well as the extra rise given from the yeast.  Despite having some similarities to bread, croissants are actually a type of pastry due to their high fat content.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>All about the filling</strong></p> <p>With it’s bread-like versatility, croissants are suited to a wide range of both savoury and sweet fillings.</p> <p>A classic savoury filling, sure to satisfy your customer morning cravings, a cheese and ham croissant!

Born and brought up in the Northamptonshire village of Hargrave, following University, he returned to the family farm to join his parents in the family business. However, it soon became clear that farming, driving tractors and growing crops would not be enough to sustain the family for another four generations. He returned to his University research on cold pressed rapeseed oil and a passion was awoken, which quickly turned into an obsession for the fantastic culinary properties and nutritional benefits packed into the tiny black seeds.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mellow Yellow/7.jpeg" alt="" width="305" height="203" /></p> <p>Following years of research, Duncan launched Farrington’s Mellow Yellow in 2005 and became Britain’s first ‘seed-to-bottle’ producer of cold pressed rapeseed oil. Sustainability has always been important for Duncan. As a LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) farmer, Duncan farms in an environmentally responsible way, making sure to nurture nature.</p> <p>Farrington’s Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil is grown to LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Marque standards, this is a farm assurance system that shows that the food has been grown sustainably with care for the environment. Through the implementation of wildflower meadow margins, beetle banks, beehives and much more, Duncan has improved the biodiversity on his farm and ensures that sustainability stays front of mind.</p> <p>In 2020, Farrington’s Mellow Yellow made history as the world’s first food producer to be certified as both carbon and plastic neutral. After reducing their carbon emissions through LEAF farming strategies, they offset their remaining carbon emissions by supporting reforestation initiatives and green energy schemes. This means that Farrington’s Mellow Yellow is not adding any emissions to the atmosphere. Farrington’s partnered with rePurpose Global to fund the removal &amp; recycling of 1 kg of plastic from the environment that would otherwise have been landfilled or flushed into the oceans for every 1kg of plastic packaging used in Farrington’s products. This industry leading approach to sustainability has now earned Farrington’s Mellow Yellow a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development!</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:156https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/novembers-in-season-produceNovember's In-Season Produce<p>We’re making steady progress through Autumn now, which means we’ve got a whole range of in-season produce ready to warm up your menus.

Emerging as the trending flavour of the year, banana has become the go-to choice in cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and even spirits and cocktails! Join us in peeling back the layers and exploring why banana is making a resurgence on the culinary scene.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>The Nostalgic Allure</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>The comforting and familiar flavour of bananas can invoke feelings of nostalgia, taking us back to sweet childhood memories. Chefs, bakers and mixologists are tapping into these warm feelings by incorporating banana flavours into their creations.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Versatility</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Mashed to velvety smoothness, caramelised to perfection or freeze-dried for a crunchy texture, bananas are incredibly versatile.</p> <p> </p> <p>When mashed, the creamy texture of banana makes it an ideal ingredient in smoothies, ice creams, and bakes such as muffins and the classic banana bread. The natural sweetness creates a delicious depth of flavour, satisfying those sweet cravings.</p> <p> </p> <p>Gently cooking until golden brown will dramatically change the flavour of bananas as the natural sugars start to caramelise, creating a rich, sweet and nutty taste. Caramelised bananas perfectly compliment a range of desserts like Bananas Foster.</p> <p> </p> <p>Quite the opposite, bananas can also be freeze-dried to create a unique and crunchy texture. Freeze-dried bananas have become a popular snack and make a unique topping for salads, yogurts and desserts. Providing crunch and sweetness, crunchy banana pieces are a favourite among the health-conscious and food enthusiasts alike.</p> <p> </p> <p>Banana flavour is also easily paired with a range of ingredients such as chocolate, so it’s no wonder that banana is trending among chefs.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>A Fresh Take on Classics</strong></p> <p>We’re seeing banana redefine traditional favourites including banana-infused tiramisu, bridging the gap between familiar favourites and exciting innovations.  For the more adventurous foodies, banana-infused dishes provide a unique and exciting twist that tantalizes the taste buds. However, banana takes on classics are also appealing to the culinary cautious, by offering a familiar feel, making it an easy and approachable introduction to new flavour experiences.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Embrace the Banana</strong></p> <p>With their nostalgic charm, exceptional versatility, health benefits and culinary possibilities, it’s time for your business to jump on the banana trend.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Shop our banana products:</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Drinks: </strong></p> <p>1945 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Love-Shakes-Top-Banana-169 ">Love Struck Top Banana Shake </a></p> <p>A8646 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Shmoo-Banana-Milkshake-Mix-1874 ">Shmoo Banana Milkshake</a></p> <p>A99011 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Monin-Yellow-Banana-Syrup--6x1L--6324%20">Monin Banana Syrup</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Cakes</strong></p> <p>68LBT –<a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Baker---Baker-Banana---Toffee-Muffins-14%20"> Banana &amp; Toffee Muffin</a></p> <p>75021 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Vegan-Banana-Bread--6x12ptn--4715 ">Vegan Banana Bread </a></p> <p>1563 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/ProperMaid-Vegan-Banana---Cinnamon-Cake-160 ">GF &amp; Vegan Banana &amp; Cinnamon Cake</a></p> <p>74006 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Sidoli-Banoffee-Pie--12ptn--6064 ">Sidoli Banoffee Pie </a></p> <p>163021 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Menuserve-Banoffee-Meringue-Roulade-1173 ">Banoffee Meringue Roulade</a></p> <p>1522 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Mademoiselle-Desserts-Banoffee-Gateau-148%20">Whole Banoffee Gateau</a></p> <p>7304 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Sidoli-Banoffee-Cream-Pie-503 ">Banoffee Cream Pie</a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Ice Cream: </strong></p> <p>30203 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Yorvale-Banana-Ice-Cream-826">Yorvale Banana Ice Cream</a></p> <p>850013 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Kelly-s-of-Cornwall-Banana-Split-Ice-Cream--4-5L--6117 ">Kellys Banana Split Ice Cream </a></p> <p>30233 – <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Yorvale-Banoffee-Ice-Cream-844 ">Yorvale Banoffee Ice Cream </a></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:153https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/englands-new-single-use-plastic-banEngland’s New Single Use Plastic Ban<p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/SUP-Ban-Flowchart-V1_1000.jpeg" alt="" />From the 1<sup>st</sup> of October 2023, England is taking a big step towards a greener future by introducing a ban on several single-use plastic items. The ban includes food and drink containers which are made from polystyrene, as well as plastic cutlery and plastic balloon sticks.</p> <p>An exemption to the ban applies to food and drink containers if the item is used as packaging and is already filled at the point of sale. However, businesses are still encouraged to make eco-friendly alternatives where possible. An exemption also applies if you are selling the containers to another business.  </p> <p>The ban aims to reduce plastic pollution and waste which cause serious damage to the environment. Many single-use plastics are difficult to recycle and can take hundreds of years to break down.</p> <p>Find full details of the ban on the <strong><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/single-use-plastics-ban-plates-bowls-trays-containers-cutlery-and-balloon-sticks#:~:text=Guidance-,Single-use%20plastics%20ban:%20plates%2C%20bowls%2C%20trays%2C,use%20plastic%20items%20in%20England">government website</a></strong>.</p> <p>If you need to switch up your food and drink containers or cutlery provision, we have a great range of biodegradable products available, including bagasse, kraft, bamboo and wood.</p> <p>Bagasse is a great alternative to plastic and polystyrene as it’s renewable and easily compostable.

As we set our eyes on the vibrant array of desserts, we are instantly drawn into a world of culinary artistry. The aroma of freshly baked goods and the sweet scent of fruits create anticipation for the flavours that await. As we dig in, the combination of textures—crunchy, creamy, chewy, and silky—adds a delightful dimension to the experience.</p> <h3>Endless Variety</h3> <p>One of the most appealing aspects of sweet grazing boards is the endless variety they offer. From classic favourites like brownies, cupcakes, and macarons to artisanal chocolates, cheesecakes, and fruit tarts, the choices are abundant. These boards often include seasonal fruits that add freshness and balance to the overall composition. Nuts, honey, spreads, and sauces further enhance the flavours and allow for personalized combinations. With an assortment of treats and accompaniments, each bite can be a unique adventure.</p> <h3>Social and Sharing Experience</h3> <p>Sweet grazing boards not only please our palates but also foster a sense of community and sharing. Just like their savoury counterparts, these dessert platters are designed to be shared among friends and family. As we gather around the board, the interactive nature of sweet grazing boards encourages a social dining experience that brings people closer and creates lasting memories.</p> <h3>What we have used for ours:</h3> <p><strong>Shopping List:</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/grapes-soft-stone">Strawberries, Bluberries and raspberries</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Kitchen-Range-Mini-Sugared-Donuts-1385">Donuts</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Baker---Baker-Blueberry-Muffins-15">Muffins</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Callebaut">Chocolate</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Sweet-Street-Brownie-Bites-450">Brownies</a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Gingerbread-Men--80--4526">Gingerbread men</a></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:145https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/apricot-and-lincolnshire-sausage-wellingtonApricot and Lincolnshire Sausage Wellington<article class="h-recipe RecipeMain"> <div class="RecipeRow"> <img style="display: block;

One such trend that has gained considerable popularity in recent years is "Swicy" – a delightful combination of spicy and sweet flavours. This unique fusion has captured the taste buds of food enthusiasts, adding a twist to traditional dishes. In this blog post, we will explore the Swicy trend, its appeal to diners, and provide tips on how to incorporate it into your restaurant menu, ensuring a memorable dining experience for your patrons.</p> <h3>The Allure of the Swicy Trend</h3> <p>Swicy, the marriage of spicy and sweet flavours, offers a dynamic contrast that excites the palate. The juxtaposition of heat and sweetness creates a harmonious balance, stimulating multiple taste sensations in a single bite. This intriguing combination appeals to adventurous diners seeking bold and memorable flavour profiles. By incorporating Swicy elements into your menu, you can cater to the growing demand for innovative and exciting dining experiences.</p> <h3>Finding Inspiration in Global Cuisine</h3> <p>Swicy draws inspiration from diverse culinary traditions around the world. From Korean cuisine's gochujang-infused dishes to Mexican mole sauces featuring a blend of chocolate and spices, the fusion of spicy and sweet flavours has long been celebrated in various cultures. Exploring these international influences can provide you with a wealth of inspiration and ideas for incorporating Swicy elements into your own menu.</p> <h3>Elevating Classic Dishes with a Swicy Twist</h3> <p>One of the simplest ways to embrace the Swicy trend is by giving a spicy and sweet makeover to your classic dishes. Consider infusing your barbecue sauce with a touch of honey and cayenne pepper or adding a spicy glaze to your traditional fried chicken. The combination of heat and sweetness can breathe new life into familiar favourites, delighting your customers and enticing them to explore your unique culinary offerings.</p> <h3>Creating Signature Swicy Sauces and Dressings</h3> <p>Developing your own signature Swicy sauces and dressings can be a game-changer for your restaurant. Experiment with combining spicy ingredients like chili peppers or hot sauces with sweet elements such as honey, maple syrup, or fruit preserves. These versatile sauces can be drizzled over grilled meats, used as a dipping sauce for appetizers, or incorporated into vibrant salads, providing a memorable Swicy experience for your guests.</p> <h3>Balancing Flavours in Swicy Desserts</h3> <p>Don't limit Swicy to savoury dishes alone; it can be an unexpected and exciting addition to your dessert offerings. Explore the fusion of spicy and sweet in desserts like chili-infused chocolate truffles, cinnamon-spiced fruit compotes, or ginger-laced ice creams. The surprising combination of heat and sweetness in desserts can leave a lasting impression on your diners, making their dining experience even more memorable.</p> <p>As diners crave bold and unforgettable flavour experiences, the Swicy trend offers an exciting opportunity to elevate your restaurant menu. By embracing the fusion of spicy and sweet flavours, you can tap into the growing demand for innovative culinary creations. Explore the diverse range of global influences, reimagine classic dishes, develop signature sauces, and venture into Swicy desserts to provide your patrons with an unforgettable dining adventure. So, don't shy away from this trend—let the Swicy magic transform your menu and captivate the taste buds of your customers, one delectable dish at a time.</p> <p> </p>urn:store:1:blog:post:142https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/smores-trend-and-smores-pizza-recipeS’mores Pizza Recipe<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/SMORES_PIZZA_blogpost_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="1000" height="454" /></p> <p>S'mores, the iconic campfire treat consisting of crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, has been capturing the hearts and taste buds of people for generations.

The act of toasting marshmallows over a crackling fire and assembling the perfect s'more fosters a sense of joy, camaraderie, and relaxation. By indulging in s'mores, we tap into a comforting and sentimental part of our past.</p> <h3>Social Media's Influence</h3> <p>The rise of social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest has played a significant role in the renewed popularity of s'mores. These platforms allow users to share visually appealing images of their delectable creations, instantly sparking curiosity and inspiring others to give s'mores a try. With tantalizing photos flooding their feeds, people are enticed to recreate these picturesque treats and share their own experiences online, further fuelling the trend.</p> <h3>Unique Flavour Combinations</h3> <p>While the classic s'more trio of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows remains beloved, creative variations have emerged, appealing to a broader range of tastes.

The gyros is a traditional Greek street food, made with meat (usually lamb, chicken, or pork) that has been marinated in a mixture of herbs and spices and then slow-cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is then sliced thin and served in a pitta bread, along with fresh vegetables and a tangy yogurt sauce.</p> <p>One reason for the growing popularity of gyros in the UK is the trend towards healthier eating. Gyros are a great choice for those who are looking for a satisfying meal that is high in protein and low in fat. The slow-cooked meat is lean and flavourful, while the fresh vegetables and yogurt sauce provide a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals.</p> <p>Another factor contributing to the popularity of gyros is the rise of street food culture in the UK. Gyros are the perfect street food – they're portable, easy to eat on-the-go, and packed with flavour. Many food trucks and pop-up vendors have started offering gyros on their menus, making it easier than ever for people to try this delicious dish.</p> <p>In addition, gyros are a great example of how different cuisines are blending together to create new and exciting flavours. Many British chefs and restaurateurs have taken inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine and incorporated it into their menus. This has helped to create a more diverse and interesting food scene in the UK, with gyros being just one example of the delicious and innovative dishes that are now available.</p> <p>Overall, the popularity of gyros on British menus can be attributed to a number of factors, including a growing interest in healthy eating, the rise of street food culture, and the blending of different cuisines. With their delicious flavours and satisfying texture, it's no wonder that gyros are quickly becoming a staple of the UK food scene.</p> <p>Contact your <strong>area account manager</strong> to discuss adding Gyros to your menu today!</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:140https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/bubble-wafflesBubble Waffle Recipe<p><img src="/images/uploaded/BUBBLE_WAFFLES 003 SQ RT_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="1000" height="673" /> </p> <p>The new bubble waffle craze has taken the dessert world by storm, with these unique and delicious treats popping up on menus all over the world.

Fish and chips have been a popular British meal for over a century, and the dish has become a cultural icon, deeply rooted in the country's history and traditions. The dish is made up of battered fish, usually cod or haddock or this year we’ve chosen scampi, and thick-cut chips, served with salt and vinegar, ketchup, or tartar sauce.</p> <p>On this special day, people across the UK celebrate by enjoying a traditional fish and chip meal out. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of supporting local businesses and the impact it has on the local economy.</p> <p>In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards supporting local businesses, particularly in the food industry. By choosing to buy from local establishments, we are supporting small, independent businesses and helping to keep the tradition of British fish and chips alive.</p> <p>The benefits of supporting local businesses go beyond just the economic and environmental impacts. It also helps to build stronger communities and promotes a sense of pride in local traditions and culture.</p> <p><br /> </p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fish-and-Seafood">Shop our range of Fish</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Chips">Shop our range of Chips </a></strong></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:137https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/british-sandwich-weekBritish Sandwich Week<p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BAGELS_PILGRIM-001-SQ-RT_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <p><br /> </p> <p>British Sandwich Week is an annual celebration of one of the most iconic and beloved culinary creations in the United Kingdom. This year, it takes place from May 22 to May 28, and it offers an opportunity to explore the many flavours, textures, and variations of this classic food item.</p> <p><br /> </p> <h3>History of the sandwich</h3> <p>The sandwich has a long and fascinating history that dates back to the 18th century. According to legend, the sandwich was invented by John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, who was a notorious gambler and a fan of card games. He was said to have ordered his servants to bring him slices of meat between two pieces of bread so that he could eat without having to leave his game. The idea caught on quickly, and soon sandwiches were being enjoyed by people all over Britain and beyond.</p> <p>Today, the sandwich remains a staple of British cuisine, and it is enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. It is a versatile and convenient food that can be eaten at any time of day and can be customized to suit any taste. From classic cheese and pickle sandwiches to more exotic options like falafel wraps or Vietnamese banh mi, there is a sandwich out there to suit every mood and appetite.</p> <p><br /> </p> <h3>Making the most of Sandwich Week in your restaurant</h3> <p>During British Sandwich Week, there are many opportunities to celebrate this beloved food item. Restaurants, cafes, and sandwich shops across the country often offer special deals and promotions on their sandwiches during the week, and there are many events and activities that take place to celebrate the occasion.</p> <p>One of the things that makes the sandwich such a beloved food item is its versatility. There are endless variations of the sandwich, and everyone has their own preferences when it comes to fillings, breads, and condiments. Some people prefer classic combinations like ham and cheese, while others like to experiment with more unusual ingredients like avocado, hummus, or smoked salmon.</p> <p><br /> </p> <h3>Take part and enjoy a sandwich or two!</h3> <p>British Sandwich Week is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate one of the most iconic and beloved food items in the UK. It offers a chance to explore, and to appreciate the simple pleasures of a well-made sandwich. Whether you are a fan of classic combinations or like to experiment with more unusual ingredients, there is a sandwich out there to suit your tastes.

Cover and leave to marinate for at least 30 mins.</p> <p>2. Preheat the oven to 200 C/180 C fan/Gas 6.</p> <p>3. Parboil new potatoes for 5 mins. Drain and leave to steam dry.</p> <p>4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the marinated chops. Brown for 1 min on each side.</p> <p>5. Place chops into a large baking tray and tip in the remains of the marinade, including the lemon quarters and garlic cloves. Add the potatoes and drizzle everything with a good glug of olive oil. Cook in the oven for 10 mins or 15 mins if you prefer your lamb more well-done.</p> <p>6. Fill a large serving dish with fresh salad (watercress and rocket work really well) and tip the contents of the baking tray on top of the leaves, including all the lovely juices. Sprinkle with fresh mint and pomegranate seeds. A simple yoghurt and caesar dressing is a nice finishing touch.</p> </div>urn:store:1:blog:post:132https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/national-pie-weekNational Pie Week<p>One of the most delicious weeks of the year, National Pie Week, is here from 6<sup>th</sup> March to 12<sup>th</sup> March and it is time to celebrate those pies!</p> <p>Comforting and delicious, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy your favourite pie.

Carefully wipe the bottom of the pan with oiled kitchen paper.</li> <li>Pour the mixture into a piping bag or alternatively use a zip lock/freezer bag and twist to create a cone shape then snip the corner off and use like a piping bag.</li> <li>Starting at the outside of the frying pan, pipe the mixture in a zig zag line across the pan to create a long string of pancake. Let it cook for 1-2 mins then gently flip with a spatula and allow to brown on the other side. You may need to practice a few times to get it right, but it’s lots of fun and there’s plenty of mixture to make a few mistakes along the way!</li> <li>Turn out onto kitchen paper, then into a bowl and decorate with your favourite toppings - use fresh berries, slices of banana, whatever you fancy. Drizzle with maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon, then finish with a dusting of icing or granulated sugar.</li> </ol></div> </div>urn:store:1:blog:post:129https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/pancake-day-pancake-boardPancake Day - Pancake Board<p><span style="font-size: 15pt;">Pancake Day is upon us, and we have the perfect recipes to get you started.

Whilst footfall grows and profits enjoy a lift, it’s important to ensure that customers enjoy the same quality food and service they’ve come to expect and don’t end up leaving disappointed.</p> <p>Here are some top tips from our development chef, Mike House, who says the key to a fantastic month is to be prepared and organise as much as you can in advance.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Kitchen and staffing to do's</h2> <ul style="list-style-type: circle;"> <li>Estimate the number of customers you’re expecting and order as many of your Christmas products and ingredients as you can in advance. This takes the pressure off you and reduces the risk of relying on last minute deliveries and potentially running out of something important.</li> <li>Prepare and freeze what you can where possible. For example, you can prepare all your stuffing in advance, roll and freeze it, ready for when it's needed.</li> <li>Order fresh produce a few days ahead of time. You could also consider buying <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Prep-Veg">freshly prepared versions</a> to save on time and labour.</li> <li>Consider reducing your main menu and incorporate your party menus into the Christmas menu to simplify and make things easier in the kitchen.</li> <li>Get chefs to work closely with your restaurant manager to ensure everything runs smoothly and large tables are not all booked in at the same time.</li> <li>Organise staff rotas well in advance. Analyse your busiest times from the previous year and hire seasonal staff when needed.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2>Dining space and promotional ideas</h2> <ul style="list-style-type: circle;"> <li>Set the scene with Christmas trees, <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/11--Gold-Holly---Mistletoe-Cracker--50--5473">Christmas crackers</a>, music, fairy lights and decorations.</li> <li>Gifts of experiences are on the rise so ensure you have Gift Cards for customers wanting to gift their friends and family vouchers to eat at your restaurant as Christmas presents.</li> <li>The holidays are a great time to make the most of seasonal bakery upsell opportunities. Make sure you have Christmas deals available like a slice of cake or mince pie to go with hot drinks or prosecco orders.</li> <li>Could you provide party favours or a Christmas pack to keep children entertained and add an unexpected special touch.</li> <li>Lastly remember to take lots of photographs – you’ll thank yourself for having a bank of lovely Christmas images  to use on social media and marketing material in the future.</li> </ul> <p>As we get closer to December don’t shy away from spending some time preparing - this is time well spent and will pay off as you get closer to the big day.</p> <h3>Wishing you a merry and successful holiday season.</h3>urn:store:1:blog:post:118https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/meadowvale-home-style-chickenMeadow Vale’s Homestyle Range Fits The Bill For Delivery<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://marketing.meadowvalefoods.co.uk/homestyle-chicken-pilgrim">Click here to request your free sample</a></span></p> <p>Meal delivery, on the go and take-away, continue to rule the roost in the ‘out of home’ food service industry, and we’re here to help you get ahead of the curve to meet the ever-increasing expectations of your customers. Latest research shows meal delivery, on the go and take away, accounted for over half of total ‘out of home’ spend in 2021, so offering good quality, streamlined delivery service is crucial.</p> <p><a href="/Crunchy-Hot---Spicy-Chicken-Breast-Strips--4x1kg--5263"> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Meadowvale/meadowvale-3.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></a></p> <p>Why the big increase?

With this in mind, it could be a good idea to prioritise traditional consumer favourites and do these really well, alongside healthier options and any seasonal specials.</p> <p><a href="/Crunchy-Hot---Spicy-Chicken-Breast-Fillet--4x960g--5275"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Meadowvale/meadowvale-1.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></a></p> <h3>Keep the crunch</h3> <p>The major complaint people have when ordering food delivery is it arriving cold. Tried and tested by the Development Team at Meadow Vale, the innovative Homestyle coating keeps it crunchy for extended periods whilst maintaining a warm, succulent core. Helping you extend your delivery zone whilst still keeping your customers happy with quality-consistent products.</p> <p><a href="/Salt---Chilli-Crispy-Shredded-Chicken--4x1kg--5309"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Meadowvale/meadowvale-7.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></a></p> <h3>Flexibility is your friend</h3> <p>71% of consumers would like to see new items on their food menu at least once a month.

Edible flowers are your friend</h3> <p>The colour of your plate, your food, and the colours of your table all must be considered. They should all work as part of a pleasing colour palette. High contrast between the food and the plate (and also the table it is on) will result in a more striking appearance.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Food Styling/food-styling-tip-4.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Alternatively, complementary colours can be used to create an aesthetic that represents the feel of your restaurant and your brand.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Food Styling/food-styling-tip-3.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Using online resources such as <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pinterest/">pinterest</a></span> or <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel">adobe colour wheel</a></span> can be a brilliant way to find a colour scheme that works for you and your plates of food.</p> <h3 style="text-align: left;">2. Tablewear, tableweare, tablewear</h3> <p>Make sure your serving plates are extra special.

Novelty items and props</h3> <p>This could be at the table or anywhere else throughout the restaurant. Having a real showpiece or some weird antique find is likely to pique your audience’s curiosity and may result in more Instagram tags for your restaurant!</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Food Styling/food-styling-tip-6.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: left;">4. Décor and ambience</h3> <p>Restaurant Décor is another important consideration. Having a nice fire in the background or picturesque view is always likely to encourage more photos. Flowers used throughout your restaurant décor can also provide great depth to photos.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Food Styling/food-styling-tip-7.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p> </p> <p>In 2022, you would be crazy to ignore the significance of social media and it’s impact on your restaurant.

Warm up the rapeseed oil in a medium size heavy base saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallots, ginger, lemon grass and chilli and sweat for about 3 minutes, stirring non-stop throughout.</li> <li>Turn down the heat and add a splash of water, if you notice that the mixture starts to brown. Add the stock and water, then the maple syrup and soy sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer on a low heat for 15 minutes.</li> <li>Whilst the sauce is simmering prepare the rice, following the instructions on the packet.</li> <li>Cook the ‘no’meatballs. Spread them out on a small oven tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 10 minutes, until slightly browned.</li> <li>Next up is the cucumber salad. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar. Add the cucumbers, stir and sprinkle the sesame seeds over.</li> <li>Warm up the rapeseed oil in a heavy base large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the broccoli and fry, shaking the pan occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, until they brown slightly. Add the soy sauce and stir again with a wooden spoon.</li> <li>Strain the sauce and pour it back to the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons to a small bowl and mix with the rice flour, until all the lumps disappear. Add the thickener to your sauce and stir, until well combined. Add the meatballs in and cook for another 5 minutes or more, if you think the sauce is not thick enough. Stir continuously. Taste and season with a squeeze of lime and more soy sauce or maple syrup, if needed.</li> <li>Time to serve. Put the rice into 4 bowls, top with the broccoli, sticky meatballs, spring and fried onions. Serve with the cucumber salad on side.</li> </ol> <p>You can order all the products linked above either through our website or via telesales.</p> <p>See the full range of Moving Mountains, meat free alternatives by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Moving-Moutains">clicking here:</a></strong></span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:113https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/new-season-chipsNew Season Chips<p style="text-align: left;">The new season of potatoes has officially arrived! Our head of prep Damian took our first delivery of the new season of potatoes last week.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/New Season Potato/p1.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /> </p> <p style="text-align: left;">The new season of potatoes comes from our long-time supplier Caythorpe Farmers. The potatoes are all sourced from local, Lincolnshire farms with the most recent batch coming from Needham farm near Sleaford. The Needhams began farming in 1947 and have passed knowledge down through generations. Rob Needham started growing potatoes again in 1985 on the home farm, after a 10-year break, and retains many traditional methods to prevent and minimize the use of pesticides.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/New Season Potato/P2.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>We are currently using Sagitta potatoes. Sagitta is now the preferred choice amongst farmers, chip shop owners, and consumers, overtaking the long-standing Marris Piper. The Sagitta is taking the top spot for chips as they are proving a more consistent potato with less bruising. They are also more slug resistant and have a more consistent level of dry matter. The reliability of these potatoes means better yields and a more consistent end product.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/New Season Potato/P3.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>We also carried out a fry test to ensure the new tates are up to scratch. Not that we need a reason to eat chips at work!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/New Season Potato/P4.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>The frying test proved successful as expected.

Even some of the most prestigious culinary establishments on earth have tight, confined kitchens to work within.</p> <p>The only difference is, they’ve refined their kitchen layout to as close to perfection as is feasibly possible. This can take a few attempts. If you need an example that’s a little closer to home, McDonalds developed a remarkable talent for a fully refined, slick kitchen operations system that has allowed them to feed around 1% of the worlds population each day within incredibly short timeframes, without the need for vast kitchens or excessive staffing. Their focus is on ergonomic layouts and ensuring that every piece of equipment serves an essential purpose. <br /> <br /> You may not need to take your layouts to the extremes of McDonalds but applying some time and focus on how your space can be adjusted and improved to cut down on foot miles in the kitchen and keep essential things close at hand will reduce labour time, improve service accuracy and speed with only a very minimal cost.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Kitchen Design Tips/kitchen-4_1000.jpeg" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Staff members crossing paths during busy periods of service can spell disaster for all kinds of reasons, if you’re sharing a small kitchen with a handful of staff, inevitably at some stage you’re going to bump into each other, chances are you’ll be carrying something and whatever that something is, ends up on the floor. If you can create a flow where you can minimise the crossing of staff members then this will pay dividends, particularly when you’re in peak service times. Often your foodservice provider can support your kitchen design and layout efforts. Pilgrim Foodservice offer support for exactly that, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/contactus">get in touch with us here!</a></span></strong></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">2. <strong>Can’t move left, or right? Go up.</strong></h3> <p>Keeping items close at hand during service can be tricky in tight kitchens. The solution may be above your head. With a mixture of ready-made storage solutions and shelving you can get space released from your walls or hung from ceilings. Providing you make the necessary adjustments and safety considerations you can end up freeing up huge amounts of space that may be clogging up worktops or items you need that are buried in a back store cupboard. Minimising foot miles for chefs on shift is a great way to free up time, ensure focus is on service and quality rather than trekking back and forth between station and storage areas. See what space can be utilised up high and see how things get a little easier for your team!</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Kitchen Design Tips/kitchen-3_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">3. Sliding doors, don’t spoil your flow.</h3> <p>You’ve spent time on your layout, you’ve got everything as slick as can be and then, someone stops you in your tracks. Cabinet fridges and freezers conventionally arrive with swing doors, if you have thin gangways between benches the last thing you need mid service is stopping mid travel to wait for someone rooting out something from an under-counter fridge. It slows things down; it causes accidents and it limits usable workspace within the room. Sliding doors can be an easier alternative in most cases. Door frontages can sometimes be altered for sliding doors or you may need to swap out your fridges for something new. Either way, it can be a great feature for bringing extra usable space back into the room and minimising risk.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">4. The right equipment.</h3> <p>Kitchen equipment is generally large, expensive, and singular in its purpose. But more and more options are becoming available for machinery that combines many cooking methods into one convenient package. An example would be Rational iCombi range that offers a wide range of applications within one sensible sized unit. Various alternatives are available at differing price points and uses.</p> <p>Small spaces can suffer from high temperatures, ruining salad leaves, melting delicate deserts, and stressing staff members. Open hobs add to the heat. Could an induction hob be a useful addition to your kitchen? They’re often available as standalone portable plates and they don’t give off the same residual heat that you find with a conventional gas or electric hob.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Kitchen Design Tips/kitchen-1_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>5. Lean on your suppliers for a leaner kitchen.</strong></h3> <p>Offsite prepared produce is a golden ticket to reducing both space demands and labour time for small kitchens and small teams. Labour costs are on the rise, you’re spending more money on talent year on year. The question we would want to know is, is the best use of that talent going to be stood peeling carrots or chopping potatoes? The average chef salary in the UK is the equivalent of £15 per hour. With just 2 people spending 2 hours every day prepping basic vegetables you’re spending a monumental <strong>£21,780</strong> a year on prep time. Without the cost of produce or space being considered at all. <br /> Opportunity cost must also be factored in. You have chef A prepping in the morning, Chef B is now doing breakfast for customers. That’s a second wage to be considered on-top of the initial cost of basic prep. You can see already how incredibly expensive this can get with only a small amount of time each day on prep tasks.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Kitchen Design Tips/kitchen-2_1000.jpeg" alt="" /> <br />Thankfully, there is another way. Outsource your basic prep tasks to your supplier! peel potatoes? We can do that.  Dice onions? We can do that. Prep veg exactly how you need it? We can do that. We’ll also vacuum pack and seal all our prep items to ensure they take up minimal space and keep your small kitchen from overloading with unnecessary boxes and product waste. What might seem like an initial cost compared to the cost of raw produce is quickly turned on it’s head when the real-world savings are factored back in. If you have a small kitchen and a small team with lots of covers day in day out, having an on hand prepared produce line could be a major step forward in both time and labour cost reductions! <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/Prep-Veg">See our whole range of fresh prepared produce here.</a></span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/blog/tag/fresh%20prepared%20produce">Learn more about our fresh prepared produce facility by clicking here.</a></strong></span></p> <p> </p>urn:store:1:blog:post:109https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/meet-the-puppers-of-pilgrimMeet The Puppers Of Pilgrim<p style="text-align: left;">As an introduction to the new flavours of frozen dog yoghurts by Frozzys, we arranged for some samples to be given out around the office.

Chicken strips have proven to be best sellers for fast food chicken products in the last year.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Meadowvale/meadowvale-chicken-1.jpeg" alt="" width="520" height="720" /></p> <h3><strong>The secret</strong></h3> <p>The aim here is not to influence consumer choices, but to offer an alternative using pea protein that runs parallel with chicken for high quality taste, texture and appeal.</p> <p>High in protein and a great source of iron, pea protein is a great fit for any diet, as it is naturally vegan and hypoallergenic. Like many of Meadow Vale’s tender chicken strips, the protein is hand cut then coated in a signature batter, making it extremely difficult to separate the meat-free from the meat. Trust us, we’ve tried!</p> <h3><strong>Meat free and stress free!</strong></h3> <p>If you’re looking for convenience, you’ve found the right product.</p> <p>The Original Vegan Chick’n Strips will help the caterer save time, waste, and money by offering quick cook times in a variety of methods, straight from the freezer.

The coating will stay crunchy for longer while the core stays succulent for up to two hours, making it perfect for takeaway and delivery.</p> <p>If you want to try this fantastic product to see how it could meet the needs of your customers, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://marketing.meadowvalefoods.co.uk/vegan-strips-pilgrim">request a sample</a></strong></span> and receive day 1 for day 3. </p> <p>See the full range available from Meadow Vale Foods by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/Meadow-Vale-Foods-Ltd">clicking here.</a></strong></span></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:107https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/fresh-produce-quality-controlFresh Produce - Quality Control<h1 style="text-align: center;">Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce</h1> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/produce-2_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Our diligent technical team are one of the reasons our fresh produce meets our customer's high expectations, all year round. I spoke with Jamie Ross, one member of our technical team, to get some insider info on exactly what the experts are looking out for when we curate our fruit and veg.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Frost Burn</h2> <p> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/produce-qc-1_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Frost Burn occurs when fruit or vegetables are stored in an environment which is too cold. Each type of fruit or veg has its own optimal storage temperature (below 8°C for the majority of produce) which is hugely important for our suppliers to adhere by. Otherwise, we receive vegetables with visible browning marks which would not be deemed acceptable by our technical team.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Structure &amp; Colour</h2> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/produce-qc-2_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>We expect all our produce to maintain its original structure, as well as the natural vibrant colours you would expect from top quality produce. This is something we check for on almost all of our produce but it is particularly noticeable with broccoli. Damage can sometimes occur during delivery or storage which could result in missing florets from the broccoli head, or dents or bumps in other types of produce. This is another thing we would deem unacceptable and not allow this to be sent out to our customers. Colour is another thing we look out for. Decolouration can be a result of many things and is easy to notice, but our technical team are always keeping an eye out to make sure our produce is as vibrant as our customers have come to expect over the many years we have been serving the catering industry.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Size</h2> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/produce-qc-4_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Whoever said size doesn't matter? It does to our technical team anyway! We conduct routine checks to make sure our produce is matching up with the correct size as advertised. </p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Flaming</h2> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/produce-qc-3_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p> </p> <p>This type of discolouration is specific to certain types of fruit (capsicum). If harvested at the wrong point during maturation, we can find discolouration. This is when a green pepper, ripens on the plant and changes colour. This can be from green to yellow. or yellow to red.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Ripening Room</h2> <p> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Un-Beet-Able Fresh Produce/basil-1.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>The ripening room is where we store bananas, basil and other types of produce which require more unique storage conditions. The room is kept at a warmer temperature than the rest of our produce facility in order to aid in the ripening process of specific types of produce and to prevent chill damage.</p> <p>We do all this, so that the next time you order any of our fresh produce, you can be assured you will receive the highest quality of produce available.</p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="/Fresh-Produce">See our whole range of fresh produce by clicking here</a><br /></strong></span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Disclaimer: We ensure our produce aligns with class one marketing standards.

With the ability to utilise powerful tools like Google My Business (Also known as Knowledge Panel) to provide an informative, search friendly header for your business that customers can use to look at reviews, check out your menu and book a table all within a few seconds.</p> <p>In this guide, we’ll run through the benefits of using GMB and how you can get the best from it to stand out, get bookings and gain long term customers from the wild west world of online restaurant searching. Google My Business is free to use, for anyone. It will give you some key data about how your establishment attracts viewers online, with page views and useful information on what customers look at when they find your profile.<br /> <br /> Before we dive into the rabbit hole of GMB, let’s get started by ensuring the basics are completed in full.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>1 - The Basics</strong></h2> <p>In essence, GMB is a very well developed and flexible business listing platform, a modern-day leaflet that you never need to print. All your core information should be held in your profile. Look at the list below to make the best possible start to your GMB profile. </p> <p><strong>Key information for your listing… </strong></p> <p><strong><br /> Type of business –</strong> This will be from a selectable list of types, select the most appropriate <br /> <strong>Restaurant Name</strong> – Whatever it says on the top of the door… <br /> <strong>Type or style of cuisine,</strong> European Fine Dining / Speciality Fish Restaurant / Dessert Takeaway <br /> <strong>Street Address</strong> – Your map link will be generated via this address, you can tweak this in your profile to get an exact location pin for the front door.<br /> <strong>Telephone Number</strong> -  Your booking or customer service line<br /> <strong>Website</strong> – If you don’t have one, check out our blog on how your food business could benefit from its own website.<br /> <strong>How you operate</strong> – Dine in, Click and Collect, Delivery etc<br /> <strong>Opening times</strong> – Keep these up to date whenever possible<br /> <strong>Headline Photo</strong> – Of either your front aspect view or perhaps an internal view of your establishment.</p> <p><strong>Your company logo</strong> - you can also add this to the profile.<br /> <strong>Your menu</strong> – Create a PDF of your menu which can be added as a direct link, or alternatively add a page link to your website that contains your most recent menu. <br /> Your menu can also be a section on the google my business panel, with photos, categories and highlights like seasonal specials or signature dishes. This makes for a very visual experience that can entice customers in.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>2 - Getting Set Up</strong></h2> <p>The following is a simple guideline for how to get your account set-up from a technical standpoint.</p> <p>Setting up your account is very easy. Google have created such an intuitive system that even those who consider themselves to be the least tech savvy can get setup in a short while.</p> <p>You first must navigate to google.co.uk and click ‘sign in’ at the top right corner of the page.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/GMB-01_1000.png" alt="" width="height=" /></p> <p>If you do not yet have a google account, you must create one. Once you have done this, you can navigate to the google my business set up page.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/GMB-02_1000.png" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>You can then search for your business in case it already has a google listing, or if not, you can create one as shown above.</p> <p>All of the following steps are self-explanatory and will require you to enter your basic business information and contact details into the relevant fields.</p> <p><strong>Verification</strong></p> <p>When setting up your GMB listing, you will need to verify your business. To do this, you will need to enter a mailing address where google will send a GMB postcard to. Expect to receive this within 14 days. The postcard will have a one time password you will need to send enter on your google my business profile so that they can confirm the validity of your business. It may sound complicated, but you will find it to be a surprisingly straight forward process.</p> <p>If you do want an extra helping hand doing this, you can find hundreds of video walkthroughs on youtube.</p> <p>Once your account is set-up you can manage it adding images and any additional information as you see fit using the easy to use business profile manager.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left;">3 – <strong>High quality imagery and video</strong></h2> <p>Standing out online can be the difference between a fully booked Friday night or an early finish. <br /> As people search online, they have a limited amount of time and information that they can take in when they’re making decisions. In the same way that the most interesting and high-quality images and videos get the most interest on social media, your imagery should be as interesting and enticing as it can be. <br /> <br /> Take some time to plan out how you want to portray your business, pick a sunny day if you’re a seaside café, pick a clear night if you’re a romantic Italian. Play to your strengths with exciting looking dishes.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/gmb-2_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /> <br /> <br /> Remember, most people look at restaurants via their mobile phone, as much as 77% of the people searching for restaurants will look on their phone. Images that suit the screen size of a mobile device can often be preferred to others in a wider format that would be better suited to a widescreen monitor.  <br /> <br /> Google themselves say that listings with imagery and video get 42% more requests for driving or walking directions than those without images. That’s a lot of potential business that’s heading somewhere else for the sake of some good quality imagery that might take a day to pull together. <br /> <!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--></p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>4 - Drive bookings</strong></h2> <p>The entire purpose of this exercise is to drive footfall and bookings to your establishment. Make life easy for your future customers by adding a reserve table button or by pushing them to your website bookings page. You can directly link a GMB profile to many types of restaurant management software. Customers can book available tables directly via your GMB profile with a few clicks and this can then feed into your management system with no interaction required. <br /> <br /> If you’re fully booked, GMB can look ahead to see when future bookings could be made and direct your customer to one of these available times. <br /> <br /> When it’s active, it should look something like this… </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/gmb-4_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>5 - Managing Reviews</strong></h2> <p>Restaurants can live and die with their reviews, reviews trending in the wrong direction can have a real negative impact to your incoming booking volume. 3 isolated, badly timed reviews might be enough to start a downward trend in reviews and could leave your profile looking a little worse for wear. <br /> <br /> Positive or negative reviews can both be a positive if you handle them correctly. Nowhere is perfect, even the best restaurants in the world get things wrong. The way they handle the issues and critique is what stands them apart from their rivals. <br /> <br /> Respond to all of your reviews, be receptive to feedback and if the customer is dissatisfied, offer to make amends. Responding to reviews shows your engaged in your restaurant and making sure its customers are well looked after. <br /> <br /> Responding to reviews gives you the additional benefit of being able to fight your way into the ‘Local Pack’ on google. Local pack is a location specific grouping, collated by google based on GMB profiles and their activity.</p> <p>When someone searches for ‘Best restaurant in Norwich’ it will show what is known as the ‘Local Pack’. Essentially the three best performing GMB profiles that closely match the search location. <br /> <br /> Incentivise positive reviews from your customers, if you know someone has had a great time in your eatery, ask them to provide a review on google. You can offer them something in return for their efforts if you wish but making sure you have a regular, positive stream of reviews coming in will dramatically improve your GMB profile. Take a look at the example below.</p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/gmb-3_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /> <br /> <!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br /> <!--[endif]--></p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>6 – Creating Posts &amp; Adding your Events </strong></h2> <p>Google My Business works in some ways like an additional social media platform for your business, you can utilise GMB for various special events and posts about particular topics you want to draw attention to. <br /> <br /> These might be special events happening in your restaurant for key times of year like Cinco De Mayo or Christmas Day. They could be about a new kitchen refurbishment or perhaps a new menu launch. <br /> <br /> You can add images, define a start &amp; end date, offer links to book or sign up to the event via the GMB profile. You can list ticket pricing for events directly on your GMB profile to make it very clear and easy for your customers to see.</p> <p> </p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>7 – Use Google Q &amp; A</strong></h2> <p>Frequently asked questions about your establishment can often be buried in the back end of a website somewhere, meaning customers have a lot of leg work to do to find out additional information. <br /> <br /> Simple questions like what time do you stop serving or are you dog friendly can be easily asked and answered via the Q&amp;A service on GMB. <br /> <br /> Allow questions and respond to each one, over time you’ll get a bank of key FAQ’s that other customers will refer to. Responding to questions also increases your chances of being included within the Local Pack search term as discussed above. <br /> <br /> Take a look at this example below.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/gmb-7_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /><br /> <!--[endif]--></p> <h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>8 – Managing your profile notifications</strong></h2> <p>You can tailor your profile to alert you to all the relevant notifications on your account to ensure you’re always on top of things. Some examples would be someone posting a question or review to your profile, suggestions for your account or updates about new features. <br /> <br /> Google themselves have an explainer page dedicated to managing your notifications, take a look here <a href="https://support.google.com/business/answer/7198436?hl=en-GB&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop">Manage your notifications - Computer - Google Business Profile Help</a></p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/GMB/gmb-6_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /><br /> <br /> With these core fundamentals of Google My Business now firmly in your grasp you can begin to work towards improving your online presence, generate more bookings and delight more customers. Share this with your team to get the best from the GMB profile and let everyone know what it should look like. <br /> <br /> If you’re looking to find other ways to support your business with interesting tips and ideas for any area of your business visit our <a href="/flavour"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">main blog page</span></a> to check out more of our articles.</p> <p> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;"> </h3>urn:store:1:blog:post:103https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/4-indulgent-desserts-kellys-of-cornwall4 Indulgent Desserts - Kelly's of Cornwall<p>With summer fast approaching, now might be the best time to start experimenting with some Ice Cream oriented desserts.

The key things to look for is how much information they’re giving you about the beans. A good roaster will be listing country of origin, varietal, altitude and processing methods. You’re not looking for these to make any real assessment of the coffee yet, (we’ll get to that!), but if a roaster can’t tell you where their coffee comes from, they’re less likely to be giving it the care that it needs. It goes without saying this isn’t a hard and fast rule, but it’s a very good starting point.' - Says Tom, master roaster.</a></em></p> <p>We think you can't get much better than Stokes Tea and Coffee themselves!</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Stokes Tea and Coffee/stokes-tea-and-coffee-1_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p> </p> <p>Stokes Tea &amp; Coffee has become known as Lincolnshire’s favourite coffee roaster.

The Himalayan salt wall helps kill the bacteria, slowing down any bacterial growth on the meat. This enables the meat to be left maturing for a longer time than usual, allowing for a distinct flavour to develop. It also breaks down the proteins of the meat, making it more tender and juicy.</p> <p>The salt draws out the bacteria from the atmosphere so that the meat ages in a different way to wet aging and normal hanging of beef. Salt particles from the Himalayan salt bricks (above), will enter the meat over the maturation period. The salt molecules that enter the meat will relax the muscle fibres of the joint resulting in a more tender steak. The salt molecules in the air also act as a natural antibacterial, thus preventing the growth of unwanted microbes.</p> <p>The longer it's aged for, the more it's going to mature and the more flavoursome it becomes. The taste of the finished product is completely different to a normal piece of meat.</p> <p> </p> <p><img id="mainImg" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age1.2_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <div class="slideshowcontainer"> <div class="slideshowrow"> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img1" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age1.2_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img2" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age2_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img3" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age7_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img4" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age5_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> </div> <script>// <![CDATA[ document.getElementById('img1').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age1.2_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('img2').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age2_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('img3').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age7_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('img4').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age5_1000.jpeg'}); // ]]></script> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Himalayan salt vs standard dry ageing</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Dry ageing alone is not as unique as our dry ageing process because of our Himalayan salt wall. Many places offer dry ageing which is done in an ageing room with humidity, temperature and air flow control. This is a traditional way of dry ageing meat but does not include the Himalayan salt wall. Our dry ageing room includes the Himalayan salt wall which introduces salt molecules to the air in the room. The salt has additional antibacterial properties which will prevent unwanted growth of bad bacteria. The salt particles will also help tenderise the meat.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Why Himalayan salt?</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Himalayan salt comes in solid form which allows us to import large bricks of it, making up our salt wall. Himalayan salt also has numerous health benefits in of itself such as: - Improve respiratory diseases. - Balance your body's pH. - Reduce signs of aging. - Improve sleep quality. - Regulate blood sugar.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/salt-wall_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Why is meat kept on the bone during the aging process?</h3> <p>Dry ageing is best done on the bone because of how the meat deteriorates. If the bone is still on the meat, the middle part cannot deteriorate until it's been boned out and staked. The bone acts as further protection against the aging process for the meat between the bone and the exterior (fat) of the animal. The meat is not exposed to the air and it can mature behind the bone without having to trim anything when it's ready for staking. The fat retains the moisture from the atmosphere so that the meat can mature, remaining tender and juicy on the inside.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Normal hanging vs dry ageing</h3> <p>If you were hanging something for four or five, six weeks it would start to grow mould spores. Because the dry-ageing process is done in such a controlled environment, it doesn't grow the mould. It slows down the aging process unlike normal hanging of meat.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Wet aging vs dry ageing</h3> <p>Wet aging is done in a vacuum packed bag. It's purely to say that it's been aged so that somebody can put it on the menu. Whether it makes a big difference to the meat in comparison to dry aging, is highly debatable. 'I don't think it does at all' says our meat specialist Chris Jelley. The dry aged meat is not in a natural state, but it's open to the elements (unlike with wet aging) and it's being aged with a process that's been proven to work.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age9_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Does dry aging require more skill from a butcher?</h3> <p>Without a doubt, a dry aged boning piece of meat is a lot more difficult to bone out than a normal aged piece of meat. The outside of it is very hard and it takes much longer to do. The skill of our experienced butchers will bone out the dry aged meat and using their expertise, they will get a good yield. This is one of the things which what makes us more competitive than other suppliers.</p> <h3> </h3> <h3 style="text-align: center;">How does it taste?</h3> <p>The taste of the finished product is completely different to a normal hung piece of meat or a wet aged piece of meat. Some people describe it as nutty and others as cheesy. This may not sound too flattering but just wait until you try it! It is lovely and tender. <a href="https://www.theranchlouth.co.uk/">The Ranch in Louth</a> have it week in, week out and said they've never had a complaint. They love it!</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Sourcing</h3> <p>We look for a typical type of beast. It's got to have the right percentage of fat on the outside, It's got to be of a particular size so that we can cut thick steaks for the restaurant trade, and It's got to be of a certain grade. All beef is graded at slaughter and It's done on how much fat is on the back of the beast and how big it is and a few other factors. For an animal to be used for dry-ageing, you want a good covering of fat and for it to be a specific size. We only use O+ and R grade heifers.</p> <p> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://bit.ly/3vME69G">Order your Himalayan salt dry aged steaks here</a><br /></span></strong></h3> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/himalayan-salt-dry-aged-beef">For more on dry ageing click here</a><br /></span></p> <p> </p> </div>urn:store:1:blog:post:98https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/snacking-with-stokesSnacking with Stokes<p>Classic lunch time snacks made better with Stokes Sauces.

It's that tender"</h3> <p>Dry ageing is the slowing down of the aging process using a salt chamber. The Himalayan salt wall helps kill the bacteria, slowing down any bacterial growth on the meat. This enables the meat to be left maturing for a longer time than usual, allowing for a distinct flavour to develop. It also breaks down the proteins of the meat, making it more tender and juicy.</p> <p>Oliver at The Ranch agrees. <strong>"With a dry-aged (steak), versus a normal steak, you know straight away by the intensity of the flavour"</strong></p> <p>The longer it's aged for, the more it's going to mature and the more flavoursome it becomes. The taste of the finished product is completely different to a normal piece of meat.</p> <p> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/dry-age1.2_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">"There are a only handful of butchers across the world, who are offering Himalayan dry aged steaks"</h3> <p>Development Chef Mike House told me how rare it is to find genuine, dry-aged steaks, using a Himalayan salt wall in this country.</p> <p>"There are a only handful of butchers across the world, who are offering dry aged steaks" he explains. "We are hoping to give our customers an opportunity to try this, at a more affordable price"</p> <p>Whilst dry ageing alone is quite rare, what makes our steaks so unique is the addition of the Himalayan salt wall used in our salt chamber. This is something truly unique and is only offered by a small number of butchers.</p> <p> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/dry age/salt-wall_1000.jpeg" alt="" width="" height="" /></p> <p>Salt particles from the Himalayan salt bricks (above), will enter the meat over the maturation period. The salt molecules that enter the meat will relax the muscle fibres of the joint resulting in a more tender steak. The salt molecules in the air also act as a natural antibacterial, thus preventing the growth of unwanted microbes.</p> <p>Pilgrim Foodservices wants to bring your customers steaks which have typically been reserved for only the top hotels and restaurants across the world. Because this is so unique, offering dry aged steaks can be a unique selling point for your bussiness. This is a great way to generate a new clientel.

Make sure you are prepared with one of our premium roasting joints available from our artisan butchery.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/c-j-butchers-topsides-premium-chilled-3009">Beef Topside</a></span></h2> <p>Our topside prepared by our butchers can be cut to the size you require, with all excess sinew and fat removed. The perfect distribution of fat is left on the joint to ensure it is full of flavour. Tied by our state-of-the-art machinery, you can be assured the beef will come to you in perfect shape. Development chef mike suggests lining a roasting tray with large cuts of vegetables to protect the base of the beef during roasting. This stops the hard crust from forming on the base. 1 cm thick slices of potatoes can also be used as an alternative.</p> <p>Topside is best-cooked medium rare, and always remember to remove the beef from the fridge 30 to 40 minutes before roasting. This ensures you get a more even roast when cooked. The joint should be well-rested before carving. this allows the juices to be absorbed back into the meat keeping it moist succulent and juicy. The joint will also be easier to carve increasing the yield, whilst being more tender to eat.  Salmon cut is another cut of Beef very popular for roasting cooked in the same way.</p> <p><img id="mainImg" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-6_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <div class="slideshowcontainer"> <div class="slideshowrow"> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img1" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-6_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img2" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-7_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="img3" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-5_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></div> </div> <script>// <![CDATA[ document.getElementById('img1').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-6_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('img2').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-7_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('img3').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/beef-topside-5_1000.jpeg'}); // ]]></script> <br /> <p> </p> <div class="slideshowcontainer"> <script>// <![CDATA[ document.getElementById('2img1').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('2mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/pork-loin-1_1000.jpeg'});document.getElementById('2img2').addEventListener('click', function () {document.getElementById('2mainImg').src = '/images/uploaded/Flavour/Mothers Day/pork-loin-2_1000.jpeg'}); // ]]></script> </div> <div class="slideshowcontainer"> </div> <h2 class="slideshowcontainer" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="/c-j-butchers-loin-of-pork-boneless-3139">Pork Loin</a><br /></span></h2> <div class="slideshowcontainer"> </div> <div class="slideshowcontainer">The finest quality joint, cut from the backbone of the animal, boneless and already rolled by us.

If you still don’t have a Vegan menu option, why not introduce a vegan pizza to the mix? A Vegan Pizza is very easy to do and will use products you most likely would be ordering anyway. Most pizza bases are vegan friendly, so the only things you need to watch out for are vegan cheese and vegan toppings. Fortunately, we offer plenty of options for both.</p> <p>Development Chef Mike House put together some beautiful rustic style pizzas to show off how easy it is to create a mouth-watering, vegan friendly pizza.</p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Italian Vegan Pizza 1</h3> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <div class="mySlides"><img id="Pizza1mainImg" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.2.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div class="slideshowrow"> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza1img1" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.2.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza1img2" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.3.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza1img3" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.4.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza1img4" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.5.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza1img5" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza1.6.jpeg" alt="" /></div> </div> <p>Mike starts with a traditional Italian style pizza using the <a href="/Pizza-Plus-12--Thin---Crispy-Pizza-Crusts-886">Pizza Plus 12” Thin &amp; Crispy Pizza Crust</a>. Using Maggi Rich &amp; Rustic Tomato Sauce, and a mixture of Violife’s Vegan cheese alternatives; Mature Grated and the Mozzarella Flavoured Grated, you can achieve a cheesy mixture which will melt quickly and evenly in the oven. <a href="/Violife"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Violife Vegan Cheeses’</span></a> might just be the best vegan shredded cheese we have ever tasted. It is made of a mixture of ingredients, with a primary base of coconut oil. The flavours mimic those of traditional Mozzarella and Cheddar so your usual 70/30 mix should replicate a traditional pizza most accurately.</p> <p>The toppings include a mix of Basil, SunBlush Tomatoes, Rocket, Olives, Capers and Red Onion. You can customise this one however you like and still get a top-quality Vegan pizza (just don’t add meat!).</p> <p> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Hummus Vegan Pizza</h3> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p> </p> <div class="mySlides"><img id="Pizza2mainImg" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza4.1.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div class="slideshowrow"> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza2img1" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza4.1.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza2img2" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza4.2.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza2img3" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza4.3.jpeg" alt="" /></div> <div style="width: 15%; display: inline-block;"><img id="Pizza2img4" style="width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Vegan Pizza/pizza4.4.jpeg" alt="" /></div> </div> <p>If you don’t want to add a vegan cheese to your shopping list, why not try a hummus topped pizza instead? This Pizza uses Humous as a base and is topped with artichokes, fire roasted red peppers and olives. The Hummus works as it has a similar consistency/ texture to cheese whilst remaining wet enough to replicate the sauce.

(Due to the high amount of olive oil, the Schiacciata Romana might turn soft again after time. Flash bake for a few seconds to make it crispy again.)</p> <h5>GENERAL BAKING INSTRUCTIONS (FOR A FILLED SCHIACCIATA ROMANA)</h5> <p>In a hot air oven: 3-4 minutes at 200°C. In a panini contact grill: 3 minutes at 225°C. In a high speed oven: 45-60 seconds at 260°C.</p> <p><em>THE TIME OF HEATING CAN VARY ACCORDING TO THE AMOUNT &amp; TYPE OF FILLING</em></p> <p> </p> <h5>GOOD TO KNOW</h5> <p>Due to the extra virgin olive oil, the Schiacciata Romana has a longer shelf life: 2 days stored at 4°C. The Schiacciata Romana can be prepared/filled 48 hours in advance when stored at 4°C. Small quantity boxes: 8 packs with 4 pieces = 32 per carton case.</p> <p> <img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Romana Flatbread/romana-flatbread-5.jpeg" alt="" width="595" height="298" /></p> <p> </p> <h5>HOW TO SERVE?</h5> <p>For hot serves: just open the Schiacciata Romana, fill to the brim and present in the counter.

Crossing your Brussels sprout could be a disaster waiting to happen if you boil. If you are steaming your Brussels this is not so bad, however, boiling water can creep in to the cross, travelling to the centre of the Brussel and continuing to cook from within even when removed from the heat. This can result in a nasty, mushy, mess. Choose instead to lightly blanch, rapidly cool in iced water, then briefly heat prior to service.</p> <p>If you want to take it a step further, sauté in butter to achieve a caramelised surface and a delicately nutty flavour. Finish with a sprinkle of toasted, flaked almonds or pancetta to enrich the flavour and create a premium appearance.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Produce"><img style="display: inline-block; width: 44%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/brussells/newpics-web-3.jpeg" alt="" /> <img style="display: inline-block; width: 44%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/brussells/newpics-web-4.jpeg" alt="" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Trimmed-Brussel-Sprouts--5kg--4938"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Order yours online now</span></strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Trimmed-Brussel-Sprouts--5kg--4938"> </a></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:81https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/prepared-produceWhy buy Prepared Produce?<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Why Buy Prepared Produce?</strong></h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Save time and labour with our prepared produce. From carrots to cauliflower, parsnips to potatoes, Damian and the produce preparation team have been hard at work, Peeling, cutting and chopping so you don't have to. Our range consists of high quality and responsibly sourced produce, so you can be assured that you will only receive top quality products from <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pilgrim Fresh Produce.</span></a></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Fresh-Produce"><img style="display: inline-block;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Fresh%20Prepared%20Produce/prep-img-1_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Save Time</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">It's easy to overlook how much labour is involved in washing, peeling, trimming and chopping vegetables and potatoes. If you are facing staff shortages, buying prepared produce from our state of the art facility can be a brilliant solution. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Reduce Waste</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Preparing your own fresh produce undoubtedly creates waste - not just peelings, but off-cuts and mistakes too! Achieving evenly sized carrot batons 100% of the time, is pretty much impossible (that is why we have special machines to cut ours!) and for every perfectly sized baton, you end up with another that is too small / too big / too wonky etc. With our prepared vegetables and potatoes, you get consistent sizes, 100% yield and no waste. </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Fresh%20Prepared%20Produce/prep-img-2_1000.jpeg" alt="" /></p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">More Hygienic</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Considering the majority are grown in soil, it isn't suprising that potatoes and vegetables can be grubby. Introducing this in to your clean kitchen can be problematic, especially if space is tight and can lead to cross-contamination. Buying prepared means you avoid the issue of dirt entirely.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Fresh%20Prepared%20Produce/prep-img-4_1000.jpeg" alt="" /> </p> <h3 style="text-align: center;">Easier to Cost</h3> <p style="text-align: left;">Our specialist fresh produce preparation facility is kitted out with a wide array of equpiment to ensure maximum efficiency.

Eating out at least once over the Christmas period is important for 56% of diners which provides pubs and restaurateurs with an exciting opportunity to drive sales.</p> <p> </p> <p>As 79% of respondents said they prefer to eat traditional dishes on Christmas Day, chefs shouldn’t ignore the classics such as roast turkey or Christmas pudding when menu planning. Consumers were asked which food item they would be most upset about if it was forgotten on Christmas Day and the top five were roast potatoes, gravy, meat, pigs in blankets and stuffing.</p> <p> </p> <p>When thinking about the key element of the main course the most popular three choices were turkey followed by chicken and then a plant-based option. For dessert, Christmas pudding followed jointly by trifle and yule Christmas log hit the top spots.</p> <p> </p> <p>It is not just Christmas Day that provides an opportunity to drive sales for pubs and restaurants, as more than half of the respondents (52%) agreed that food plays an important part in their Christmas party too. More than half (55%) also agreed they would enjoy a Christmas food and drink pairing experience providing an additional marketing opportunity for pubs and restaurants to drive festive bookings. Premier Foods Foodservice has a Christmas pairing recipe book which is freely available on their website.</p> <p> </p> <p>Offering a festive themed menu or takeaway items provides another option to drive sales and the most popular purchases are a mince pie followed by a Christmas sandwich and then a Christmas themed hot chocolate.</p> <p> </p> <p>Catering for everyone’s needs should be a top priority on Christmas Day as over a third of respondents (35%) said if eating out the choice of Christmas food is frustrating when you have a special diet. When thinking about a group Christmas dinner, the dietary requirements people consider most are vegetarian followed by low sugar and vegan. Dietary requirements determine where to eat out for almost a quarter of respondents.</p> <p> </p> <p>It’s important to include some healthier and lighter options on menus, as almost half of respondents (49%) said they have become more mindful of how much food they consume over the Christmas period.</p> <p> </p> <p>Sarah Robb, marketing manager at Premier Foods Foodservice said: “We know what a busy time the festive season is for chefs in all areas of foodservice, so we wanted to provide as much insight as possible to help our customers to drive sales. With gravy, stuffing and Yorkshire Puddings being some of the most popular elements of Christmas Dinner we know our Bisto, Paxo and McDougalls products will play a vital role in ensuring chefs meet their diners’ demands. We have created some new recipes to help chefs save time in the kitchen and over the coming weeks and months will be providing plenty of inspiration on our social media channels.”</p> <p> </p> <p>When marketing menus and festive events, chefs need to remember what the festive season is all about. When people were asked to describe the perfect Christmas in one word, it was all about family for 76%; food was mentioned by 45% and fun by 17%. Almost a quarter prefer a more relaxing Christmas Day by eating out so this key selling point should be promoted in your marketing activity.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/PremFShome  " target="_blank">To find out more &amp; for recipes, click here to visit the Premier Foods website </a></p> <p> </p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Premier/BUTTERBEAN-WELLINGTON.jpeg" alt="Butterbean Wellington" /></p> <p> </p>urn:store:1:blog:post:76https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/mini-mince-piesMini Mince Pies<h3 style="text-align: center;">Mini Mince Pies</h3> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://pilgrimfoods.co.uk/-3899" target="_blank">The Bake Shed's Mince Pie Slice</a> provides a perfect solution for all your mince pie needs.

What are they? Where do they come from? And why is everone so obsessed with them!?</strong></p> <p>This street food phenomenon has swept the Nation and found its way in to restaurants across the country. We thought we would try them ourselves to see what all the fuss is about.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BaoBuns/bb1.jpeg" alt="Bao Bun" width="900" height="600" /></p> <p><br />After just 5 minutes in the bamboo steamer, these fluffy little dough buns are ready to go. Just load them up with your fillings of choice!</p> <p><br />Anybody who has ever tried a Bao Bun will tell you how surprisingly light they are. Despite looking quite dense and heavy at first glance, you will be pleasantly surprised when you bite into the doughy delight!</p> <p><br />A traditional Bao Bun (Gua bao) includes pork belly along with pickled mustard greens, coriander, and ground peanuts. We decided to use some of our <a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/Flavours-Foods">sandwich fillings</a> and an assortment of spring onions, peppers, red cabbage, coriander and sesame seeds.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BaoBuns/bb2.jpeg" alt="Bao buns assorted" width="900" height="600" /></p> <p><br />‘Bao’ means bun in the Chinese language. Despite these buns being known most as Bao Buns, this is incorrect. This is because we are effectively calling them ‘bun buns’. The proper traditional name would be ‘Gua Bao’</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BaoBuns/bb3.jpeg" alt="Bao buns assorted 2" width="900" height="613" /></p> <p><img style="margin-right: 1.4%; display: inline-block; width: 59%; /* margin-left: auto; *//* margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BaoBuns/bb4.jpeg" alt="Bao buns assorted 3" /><img style="display: inline-block; width: 39.6%; /* margin-left: auto; *//* margin-right: auto;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/BaoBuns/bb5.jpeg" alt="Bao buns assorted 4" /></p> <p><br />Our Bao Buns received rave reviews from everyone who tried them.

That is my go to dessert whenever I am entertaining</p> </div> <p>I launched The Bake Shed in 2012 when I was 21 after 4 months of trial and error to perfect my chocolate brownie recipe. I was eating brownies in lots of coffee shops around Cardiff and the UK and thought too many of them were dry and tasteless. This is where my brownie mission began.</p> <p>I started supplying local coffee shops from my mother and father’s kitchen. After about 16 months, to both my mother and father’s great relief and happiness, I outgrew the family kitchen so started renting a premises.</p> <p>Over the coming years I grew my product list, very selfishly, with products that I liked the taste of! Many of my customers were requesting gluten-free products so I launched a range that were delicious. Now, our whole range is gluten-free!!</p> <p>As an individual, I love and care for the planet we live on. I am an environmentally conscious person and want this to be reflected throughout my business. We use as much recyclable cardboard as possible and we have a delicious plant-based range as well.</p> <p>My favourite part of running my business is interacting with potential as well as current customers.

Born and brought up in the Northamptonshire village of Hargrave, following University, he returned to the family farm to join his parents in the family business. However, it soon became clear that farming, driving tractors and growing crops would not be enough to sustain the family for another four generations. He returned to his University research on cold pressed rapeseed oil and a passion was awoken, which quickly turned into an obsession for the fantastic culinary properties and nutritional benefits packed into the tiny black seeds.</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%;" src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Farringtons/BLOG PIC 7.jpeg" alt="" /> </p> <p> </p> <p>Following years of research, Duncan launched Farrington’s Mellow Yellow in 2005 and became Britain’s first ‘seed-to-bottle’ producer of cold pressed rapeseed oil. Sustainability has always been important for Duncan. As a LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) farmer, Duncan farms in an environmentally responsible way, making sure to nurture nature.</p> <p>Farrington’s Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil is grown to LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) Marque standards, this is a farm assurance system that shows that the food has been grown sustainably with care for the environment. Through the implementation of wildflower meadow margins, beetle banks, beehives and much more, Duncan has improved the biodiversity on his farm and ensures that sustainability stays front of mind.</p> <p>In 2020, Farrington’s Mellow Yellow made history as the world’s first food producer to be certified as both carbon and plastic neutral. After reducing their carbon emissions through LEAF farming strategies, they offset their remaining carbon emissions by supporting reforestation initiatives and green energy schemes. This means that Farrington’s Mellow Yellow is not adding any emissions to the atmosphere. Farrington’s partnered with rePurpose Global to fund the removal &amp; recycling of 1 kg of plastic from the environment that would otherwise have been landfilled or flushed into the oceans for every 1kg of plastic packaging used in Farrington’s products. This industry leading approach to sustainability has now earned Farrington’s Mellow Yellow a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development!</p>urn:store:1:blog:post:50https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/quorn-buttermilk-style-burger-new-veganQuorn Buttermilk Style Burger – New & Vegan<p><em>“Burgers are still a No.1 choice at lunchtime.

This saves time, enables you to serve large numbers at high speed and ensures the turkey is thoroughly cooked. Our turkey butterfly is a raw, boneless, double breast joint.</p> <div> <div class="Blog65"> <p>The butterfly can be cooked whole or split in half if you need to reduce the cooking time. To cook whole, I recommend tying the butterfly with string. Gather the edges of the butterfly, fold neatly underneath, then tie with string. Cover the turkey with oil and season. I favour the traditional ‘trivet’ method.</p> <p>I place the turkey on a bed of roots (large thick-cut potatoes, carrots and quartered onions), this helps to achieve a succulent, easy-to-carve finish, as the trivet protects the bottom of the breast from becoming dry and hard.</p> </div> <div class="Blog33"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/MikeTurkey.jpeg" alt="Development Chef Mike House with Turkey" /></div> </div> <div> <div class="Blog65" style="float: right;"> <p>The vegetables will absorb the meaty flavour and become caramelised, perfect for making your gravy.</p> <p>Preheat a convection oven to 160 degrees, the turkey will need approximately 20 minutes cooking time per pound. When fully cooked, the juices should run clear and the core temperature should be 75 degrees. Always test the temperature at the thickest part of the turkey.”</p> </div> <div class="Blog33"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/TurkeyRaw.jpeg" alt="Raw Turkey Trivet" /></div> </div> <h2 style="display: inline-block;">Based on raw turkey weights. Allow approximately 454g for 2 portions. This should be plenty, providing 160g of cooked turkey per person.</h2> <p> </p> <div> <div class="Blog65"> <p>Once the turkey is fully cooked, remove from the oven and cool as quickly and safely as possible (preferably in a blast chiller). If you don’t have a blast chiller, place on a cooling rack with a tray underneath, leave for half an hour in a cool place, cover with cling film and place in the fridge.</p> <p>Remember to keep hot food away from chilled products so their temperatures are not raised.</p> <p>If you want to reheat turkey, I have found this method has given me great results over the years, ensuring a moist texture. Slice the turkey, once cold, in to portions and place on a gastronorm tray, lined with greaseproof paper.</p> </div> <div class="Blog33"><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/TurkeyCooked.jpeg" alt="Cooked Turkey Trivet" /></div> </div> <p>Cover completely with cling film and place in the combi oven on the steam setting for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.</p> <p>If you don’t have a combi oven, place in a gastronorm tray with a small quantity of stock, cover with foil and reheat at 160 degrees.</p> <p><em>As an alternative to the raw butterfly, we also stock cooked Fenton Barns Turkey Breast Saddles.</em></p>urn:store:1:blog:post:33https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/christmas-seasonal-vegetablesChristmas - Seasonal Vegetables<p> <script>// <![CDATA[ document.getElementsByClassName("rich-blog-image").style.display = 'hidden'; // ]]></script> </p> <p><img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/PrepVeg_1000.jpeg" alt="Prepared Vegetables Banner" /></p> <h2>Seasonal Vegetables</h2> <p>This is an ideal selection of vegetables to serve at Christmas to provide a good mix of colours, flavours and textures. Opting for ready prepared vegetables can provide significant benefits during the hectic festive season; saving labour, reducing waste, and greater portion control.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Portion Guide</h2> <p>Don’t be mean with your vegetables, providing a miserly amount may result in a disrupted service if customers complain or demand extra portions.</p> <p>As a guide, we suggest the following quantities (based on raw product weights).</p> <p><strong>Selection of 3 Vegetables</strong> - Allow 80g of each type of vegetable per person.</p> <p><strong>Selection of 4 Vegetables</strong> - Allow 60g of each type of vegetable per person.</p> <div> <div class="Blog65"> <h2>Sliced Carrots &amp; Carrot Batons</h2> <p>Carrots are an extremely cost-effective vegetable. If you are serving two different cuts of carrot, it is a good idea to vary the flavour. The warming notes of cumin really complement the flavour of carrots, just a light sprinkle is required. To enhance the natural sweetness of carrots, sauté in a little butter with sugar. Be cautious of serving carrots too al dente as this can prevent the release of the true carrot taste.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Carrot-Batons-3468"> V1001 - Fresh Carrot Batons 2.5kg </a><br /> <em>Yields approximately 31x80g portions or 41x60g portions.</em></li> <li><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-carrot-batons-3562"> V2103 - Fresh Carrot Batons 5kg </a><br /> <em>Yields approximately 62x80g portions or 83x60g portions.</em></li> <li><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Sliced-Carrots-3470"> V1004 - Fresh Carrot Slices 2.5kg </a><br /> <em> Approximately 5mm thick.

To ensure optimum performance, we regularly test in the kitchen, monitoring throughout the seasons. Our quartered potatoes for example, will crisp up well, stay fluffy in the centre and have good flavour.</p> <div> <div class="Blog65"> <h2><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Fondant-Potato-3581"> Fresh Fondant Potatoes </a></h2> <p>Approximately 70mm diameter and 30mm height. Sold individually, please select the number you require</p> <p>The fancy fellow of the prepared potato world. They offer great portion control, one fondant per person is just right. It is best to place them directly on the plate instead of grouped in a bowl. Less cooking space is required as they fit neatly on trays (one fondant takes up less cooking space than the equivalent portion of roast potatoes). Slower cooking is the secret, sear first on all sides on the top of the stove in hot butter and oil.</p> <p>Adding thyme and whole garlic cloves to the butter will provide a wonderful flavour. Classically, fondants should have a poached bottom half and a crispy top half, to achieve this, add meat stock to reach a third of the way up the potato.</p> <p>During cooking, the stock will reduce and be absorbed, resulting in an impressive meaty flavour, reminiscent of potatoes cooked with a joint. Fondant potatoes will add a special touch to Vegetarian main courses, simply use a vegetable stock instead.</p> <p>Some chefs prefer to roast fondants in the oven without stock, after being seared, as it produces a crispy surface all over.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Fondant-Potato-3581"> V2404 - Fresh Fondant Potatoes </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="Blog33"><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Fondant-Potato-3581"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/FondantPotatoes.jpeg" alt="Fresh Fondant Potatoes" /> <br /> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/FondantPotatoesRawOnly.jpeg" alt="Fresh Raw Fondant Potatoes" /> </a></div> </div> <div> <div class="Blog65" style="float: right;"> <h2><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-diced-potatoes-20mm-3618"> Fresh Diced Potatoes </a></h2> <p>These attractive squares can be fried from raw and finished in a little hot butter to create a roasted appearance, this will replace any fried notes with a buttery flavour.

Our quartered potatoes and whole peeled potatoes are a superb starting point for rustling up crunchy roasts with a fluffy centre. The halves work best for plated meal presentation as they are quick and easy to stack attractively, simply cut the whole potatoes in half prior to cooking.</p> <p>The quartered potatoes are the right size for presenting in bowls. If you desire a rustic look, pre-blanch the potatoes, then roughen the edges by shaking the tray before roasting. This method guarantees an irresistible crunchy, crispy surface rather than a smooth blistered surface. For a festive finish, swap your usual oil and butter mix for a rich duck fat. Although this adds expense, it conveys a premium touch when illustrated on your menu.</p> <p>We recommend 200g per person (based on raw weights). If you want to choose your own portion size, select the number of potatoes that looks right, then weigh, use this weight as your guide throughout the season.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-whole-peeled-potatoes-3511"> V1414 - Whole Peeled Potatoes </a></li> <li><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-quartered-potatoes-3480"> V1191 - Quartered Potatoes </a></li> <li><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-small-quartered-potatoes-3582"> V2422 - Quartered Small Potatoes </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="Blog33"><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-whole-peeled-potatoes-3511"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/WholePotatoes.jpeg" alt="Whole Peeled Potatoes" /> </a> <a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-quartered-potatoes-3480"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/RawQuarteredPotatoes.jpeg" alt="Whole Peeled Potatoes" /> </a> <a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-small-quartered-potatoes-3582"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/QuarteredPotatoes.jpeg" alt="Whole Peeled Potatoes" /> </a></div> </div> <div> <div class="Blog65" style="float: right;"> <h2><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Whole-Peeled-Potatoes-3543"> Whole Peeled Potatoes for Mashing </a></h2> <p>Whole potatoes suitable for mashing, peeled, hand finished and dipped to prevent discolouration.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Whole-Peeled-Potatoes-3543"> V1954 - Whole Peeled Potatoes for Mashing </a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="Blog33"><a href="/Pilgrim-Fresh-Produce-Whole-Peeled-Potatoes-3543"> <img src="/images/uploaded/Flavour/Christmas/MashingPotatoes.jpeg" alt="Whole Peeled Potatoes for Mashing" /> </a></div> </div> <div> <div class="Blog65"> <h2><a href="/pilgrim-fresh-produce-prep-sliced-potatoes-3587"> Fresh Sliced Potatoes </a></h2> <p>Approximately 2mm thick.

Born and brought up in the Northamptonshire village of Hargrave, following University, he returned to the family farm to join his parents in the family business. However, it soon became clear that farming, driving tractors and growing crops would not be enough to sustain the family for another four generations. He returned to his University research on cold pressed rapeseed oil and a passion was awoken, which quickly turned into an obsession for the fantastic culinary properties and nutritional benefits packed into the tiny black seeds. <br /><br />Following years of research, Duncan launched Farrington’s Mellow Yellow in 2005 and became Britain’s first ‘seed-to-bottle’ producer of cold pressed rapeseed oil. Sustainability has always been important for Duncan. As a LEAF (Linking Environment and Farming) farmer, Duncan farms in an environmentally responsible way, making sure to nurture nature. <br /><br />Farrington’s Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil is grown to LEAF Marque standards, this is a farm assurance system that shows that the food has been grown sustainably with care for the environment. Through the implementation of wildflower meadow margins, beetle banks, beehives and much more, Duncan has improved the biodiversity on his farm and ensures that sustainability stays front of mind.</p> </div> </div> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/search?q=farrington" target="_blank">View the whole range of Farrington's Oils and Dressings.</a></span></p> <p> </p>urn:store:1:blog:post:21https://www.pilgrimfoods.co.uk/vegan-versatile-new-quornVegan & Versatile - New from Quorn<p> <script type="mce-mce-text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ document.getElementsByClassName("rich-blog-image").style.display = 'hidden'; // ]]></script> </p> <p>According to Quorn, “Quorn is for everyone, including meat eaters.

Our experts are painstaking about every aspect of Roast 440, the origin of the beans, the roasting process, the blends we create. That's why you can be confident of delivering a perfect cup of coffee every time.</p> <p> </p> <p> <img src="/images/uploaded/Roast440_11th Sept_Twitter-02_1000.jpeg" alt="/" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>DID YOU KNOW?</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">440°F is the optimum roasting temperature for coffee beans. Less heat would fail to release the maximum flavour and aroma. More heat can cause burning leading to bitterness.</p> <p><br />Roast 440 provides a high-quality range of coffee beans and filter coffees to suit every taste, with a variety of roasts plus single origin and Rainforest Alliance options. Each blend has been carefully selected and balanced, using the finest coffee beans for each application.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>QUAL</strong><strong>ITY</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Roast 440 coffee beans are roasted with precision to extract the truest flavours and create fabulous coffee.</p> <p>There are two main types of coffee bean, Arabica and Robusta. We use both, sometimes pure, sometimes in blends, to achieve a range of strengths and flavours.</p> <p>Arabica beans are sweeter with a softer taste, more complex flavours and fruity, sugary notes. Much cleaner acidity.</p> <p>Robusta beans are stronger, with a grainier taste and higher caffeine content. This bean produces an espresso with more crema, making for increased mouthfeel - which is why Robusta tends to be used in traditional espresso blends.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>ORIGIN</strong></p> <p>We travel the world sourcing the highest quality beans wherever they grow, from Brazil and Colombia to Ethiopia, India and Central America. Then we create blends in which the different strengths and flavours work harmoniously together, enabling you to offer the perfect coffee for every application.</p> <p>Best of all, Roast 440 means your margins will be as satisfying as your coffee.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>THE ROAST 440 RANGE</strong></p> <p>We start with the finest freshly roasted beans and supply them as whole beans or ground coffee. The blends have been lovingly created to guarantee the quality that gives your customers a great cup of coffee every time. <a href="/Roast-440">VIEW THE ROAST 440 RANGE</a></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>A COMPLETE SOLUTION</strong></p> <p>We know that attracting customers is about much more than what goes into the cup. That’s why we’ve created a distinctive and stylish range of marketing materials, branded uniforms, crockery, takeaway cups, point of sale displays and more. Everything it takes to turn great coffee into great business.</p> <p> <img src="/images/uploaded/P10506-CF-ROAST440-605_1000.jpeg" alt="Complete Solution" /></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>COFFEE ENGINEERING</strong></p> <p>Even with Roast 440’s impeccably selected beans, superb roasts and beautiful blends, you can’t make great coffee without a great machine.
