The Pumpkin Patch is a popular gardening and cookery school in Carmarthenshire and the FUW held one of its many breakfasts there recently. Lisa Fearn established The Pumpkin Patch and by now, she has taught thousands of children to grow and cook their own food (she's taught a few parents too!). Lisa is a Carmarthen girl and a mother of five and has recently published her first recipe book, Blas/Taste. It contains over 90 delicious family-friendly recipes and is presented bilingually. With Shrove Tuesday fast approaching, why not try one of Lisa’s recipes:
Combine a cup of plain flour with a cup of milk and an egg.
Whisk well and pour into a hot oiled or buttered pan.
Fry on both sides, flip them if you dare, and enjoy with your favourite topping. Eat them with sugar, lemon, Nutella, or wrap a banana in one.
Fold them the French way or roll them the Welsh way.
For a simple but filling and delicious supper, serve them with bacon, mushrooms, fried with a little garlic and cream, grated cheese and tomato, or even smoked salmon and a soft herby cream cheese. Enjoy!
