We've got some recipes for seasonal veg in the newsletter - and don't forget that you can visit CPRE Cheshire's Buy Local website for some great recipes by Hector Robb using local ingredients, including Duck Confit with Butterbeans, very slow-roasted belly pork and Cheshire Hotpot.
Zoey's back with her topical jobs list for veg gardeners! Download the newsletter to see what you should be doing to grow your own over the next month or two.
We also have an interview with farmer Simon Bennett, whose farm we visited on the last family farm walk of 2011. We had a brilliant time and learnt a lot about the economics and practicalities of farming. it's easy to forget how tough the financial situation facing many of our farmers is, so please make the effort to support your local producers and suppliers when you're shopping for your Christmas lunch.
We'll be back in touch in 2012 with more seasonal recipes and gardening advice. Many thanks to all the volunteers who give their time to write articles for the newsletter, and from us all at CPRE Cheshire, a very happy Christmas and New Year.
