Hi there,

What a weekend we had..We momentarily took off the Kemp & Kemp chef's hats & in full Local Tart & Homemade Pate company guise, braced ourselves for two days at Tewkesbury Food & Drink Festival.
Lured there by respected farmers' market friends telling us that it was a very busy event &, I have to admit, the promise of an oggle & the odd lustful thought ( Sorry Richard!) over guest celebrity chef, James Martin (Who cares what he cooks??) Off we set.
I won't bore you with the details..Suffice it to say that it was absolute bedlam on both days..some foodies, but quite a lot of 'professional samplers' We got home yesterday at around 7.00p.m and, having had a couple of days of takeaways ( rare for us..but even my love of food & cooking occasionally has it's limits!) I was determined to make us something good to eat.

At 8.00p.m, we sat down to a rack of lamb with garlic & herb crust, English asparagus, Goose fat roasted potatoes, red wine & rosemary gravy & Delia's homemade mint sauce.. All made from scratch and on the table in an hour..So..fast food Kemp style.
Needless to say this was preceeded by a few glasses of chilled white (cook's pleasure..to keep me company in the kitchen) and accompanied by a mighty fine bottle of red.

Still in the spirit of good fast food & now in full English asparagus & new season's Jersey royal mode..tonight we're having those two delicious foods with good ham & homemade mayonaisse ( the Delia quick one)

Pip Pip !
