food editor Jo chooses her top picks of the week including being in love with barbecued bread, Facebook recipes and we need you to name the new Devon “parmesan”
I’ve been bigging up this recipe for a while now, but I can’t highly enough praise the barbie bread recipe from our blogger Marcus Bawdon. Essentially it’s just a basic pizza dough recipe that you cook over the grill of the barbie with the lid on, so it tastes fabulous, very much like making pizza in a woodfired oven. We’ve done his garlic and rosemary oiled version, turned it into garlic bread by brushing melted garlic butter over the bread when cooked, and also used it to make lovely thin and crisp pizzas by spreading homemade tomato sauce with slices of mozzarella on when the dough still raw and cooking with the lid on again. Get the recipe here, or try the pizza dough recipe from David and Holly Jones of Manna From Devon’s new Wood-Fired Oven Cookbook, which we’re thrilled to have the recipe for.
Do you follow food on Facebook? If not, find it under ‘favourite food magazine’ and ‘like’ it, because we regularly post great recipes which will be waiting for you in your Facebook news feed when you have time to look at them, unlike with Twitter where if you miss them, they’re gone forever!
Finally, keep an eye out in the new issue of food for the new Devon Parmesan which has been created by the innovative and award winning guys at Hillside Speciality Foods with the fantastic Quickes Cheddar. They’ve exclusively asked food readers to come up with a name for this brand new and potentially massive product which tastes like mature cheddar but which you use in cooking like parmesan. Find details of the naming competition here. There’s a great prize, plus the glory of seeing your name used on the product.
Catch you next week!
Brilliant, so glad you liked the recipe
Cheers
Marcus
