Oven dish by Geoff Fuller

I was exhibiting at the Wardlow Mires Festival of Pottery and Food in Derbyshire last weekend, I couldn’t resist this lovely oven dish made by Geoff, who is one of the organisers of the festival. 

His slip-trailing decoration gets simpler and more lively as the years go by. 

I used it as soon as I got home for a take-away lamb biryani with some veg. It looked wonderful. 

POTS AND FOOD CALENDAR 2015

I am excited to be able to announce that my new Pots and Food Calendar came out last week, it was much admired at the Wardlow Mires Pots and Food event at the weekend. 

This year I have worked in collaboration with Ben Bulger, head chef at The Magdalen Chapter hotel in Exeter, to produce the calendar.  He devised the recipes and cooked them in my kitchen where we plated them on my pots for Suzy Bennett to photograph. The photo-shoot was great fun and an exhausting day’s work. I was left with lots of delicious food - and of course piles of washing up!  

I like Ben’s food very much and his seasonal approach to cooking, influenced by time working at Riverford Field Kitchen, is ideal for the calendar.  As before, the recipes for the dishes are included on the calendar.  I hope you will enjoy trying the recipes - which of course taste better on hand-made pots.

The calendar, priced at £10, and you can also buy it from The Studio in Moretonhampstead, or call me and I can post direct.
