AND TALES FROM THE KITCHEN SHED
Hi, I’m Sarah and croeso to Tales From The Kitchen Shed tucked away in the Presili Hills, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
The Kitchen Shed has moved from beautiful Brittany to the equally beautiful countryside of Pembrokeshire. It’s a bigger and better Kitchen Shed this time around, formerly the kitchen to a cafe. My sister and her husband live in the main house whilst OH and me live in the former cafe.
In between home cooking and baking you’ll find me blogging and making marshmallows. Our marshmallows take OH and me to food shows around the country where it’s great to meet people face to face.
Plus, I’m super excited to share the latest marshmallow news that I’ve now been awarded three Great Taste Awards !
Sharing my favourite bakes, cakes and seasonal recipes from the Kitchen Shed is a great pleasure for me and I hope you’ll have a wander around to see what I’ve been up to. Sprinkled liberally throughout are Kitchen Shed Tips to smooth your path.
SO IF YOU LOVE …
- baking
- feeding your family and friends with meals made from scratch
- preserving fruit and vegetables
- slow cooking
- making foodie gifts
… THEN YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE !
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO FIND AT THE KITCHEN SHED …
BAKES & CAKES
I love baking and as you’ll see I do have a sweet tooth but don’t worry, you’ll find plenty of savoury bakes amongst our family’s favourite recipes.
BREAD
Love filling your kitchen with the aroma of freshly baked bread ? You’ll find basic bread recipes along with enriched dough recipes and flavoured breads. Don’t worry if you’re new to the world of real bread, there’s a whole post on bread making with plenty of tips to help you on your way !
MEALS MADE FROM SCRATCH
Traditional meals or a cheeky takeaway at home ? We love a takeaway but homemade with natural ingredients is definitely way tastier so why not have a crack at your own chicken kebabs, Bombay potatoes or vegetarian sausages ?
JAMS, CHUTNEYS & SAUCES
Preserving vegetables and fruit from the garden or hedgerow is a great way to stock up your cupboard or pantry for the winter so you can enjoy the taste of summer and autumn all year round. Plus, hone your foraging skills and you can eat for free !
SLOW COOKER RECIPES
How about preparing a meal in the morning and then leaving the slow cooker to do all the work for you while you get on with other things ? Or maybe taking the heat out of jam or chutney making on a hot sunny day ?
FOODIE GIFTS
What better gift than a jar or bottle of homemade loveliness ? Or maybe delicious shortbread or chocolate honeycomb ? All made with love for your family and friends.
