The Isle of Man Farming Community are setting Howard and Christy a series of cooking challenges over the coming weeks. With recipes suggested by farming families around the Island, each week Howard will be making a main course and Christy will rustle up a pud - using, of course, the best Manx Produce they can find.
In the sixth week of our 'Farm Kitchen Challenges', the team were challenged to make various dishes incorporating pastry - using great Manx ingredients of course!
Christy was challenged by Paul and Hilary Fletcher from Ballig Farm in Jurby to take on two dishes - a Cheese Flan (recipe here) and a Farmhouse Curd Tart (recipe here). Paul tells us here about life at busy Ballig (which has quite the claim to farming fame!) and explains the two recipes:
Check the videos below to see how Christy got on... but let's just say the Curd Tart ended up being something of a joint effort! #passthepastry
Next up, Emily Kelly from the Kelly Farm in beautiful Baldwin set a 'Dandy' Farm Kitchen Challenge for our Howard. She tells us below about life on their 5th generation farm and her work as Vice Chair for Central Young Farmers, then reveals the family favourite dish... Cow Pie!
Read the recipe here and watch the video to see how Howard gets on with it. Don't forget, if you have a go at any of the recipes, send photos of your creations to latelunch@manxradio.com, we'd love to see them!
