There are many reasons to celebrate pies, and one of them is the fact that they are one of the oldest prepared foods in history. There are written recipes for pies dating back to as early as ancient Roman times. The Romans' preferred pie fillings were fruits, meat, and seafood, and the oldest pie recipe known to date is for goat cheese and honey pie. The Greeks had similar pie habits, filling their water and flour shell pastries with meats, fruits, and honey. Pies were popular through to the Middle Ages when people preferred them filled with meats and vegetables. However, the dough in these pies was used merely as a container for the food inside, to keep it from drying and to make transporting it easier. This meant that the dough was often inedible so people only ate the pie filling. Why not celebrate #NationalPieDay with your favourite pie? Also, let us know what your favourites are below:

Asparagus season is in full swing! If you're looking for some inspiration, give this a try. It's so easy and quick that you'd be missing out if you don't give it a go. Ingredients: - x1 bunch English asparagus - Smoked bacon, pancetta, parma ham or prosciutto Vegetarian version: - Courgette slices (Use a peeler or mandolin to make thin long slices) Method: Wrap the asparagus in either the cured meats or courgette slices. Either cook in a really hot pan or on a bbq for a 2-3 mins until the asparagus is tender and the meat or courgette slices are fully cooked. Personally, I love snacking on this with a chilled glass of white wine. For a heartier option, add some roasted Jersey Royal potatoes, a poached egg, and grated Parmesan to create a fantastic plate of food. #seasonalproduce #chefstips #recipe #weekend

🌹💕 This Valentine's Day, steak is the star! 💕🌹 The experts at the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) say that beef steaks will be very popular for romantic dinners this year. Even though last year wasn't great for sales because people were careful with their money, steaks are still a big favorite in February. Last year, even though steak prices went up, sirloin steak was the only one that sold more because its price didn't go up as much as others. This year, we might see more people choosing cheaper steaks, like rump steak, if they want something fancy but have to stick to a budget. Cheese might also become popular in Valentine's deals, offering a tasty choice instead of sweet desserts. Since everyone's looking for good deals, especially now when money is tight, choosing quality but affordable food will be key. For those celebrating at home, supermarkets will likely have special deals on steak and desserts. Happy Valentine's Day! Let's enjoy it with tasty food. 🥩🧀 For more summarized news like this, subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dVuEVwYj [Source: https://lnkd.in/euaQVDxD] #ValentinesDay #SimpleDinner #EatWell

Hey #Restaurants & #Chefs, You’re training your staff to ask if folks want any #Protein on their salad selections but you’re not including #mushrooms. Oven fry them after tossing them in olive oil, salt, pepper at 375F for 15-20 min (depending on the oven) and you’ve got yourself the most delicious and nutritious mushroom “bacon” bits. Soooo many folks would choose mushrooms over your standard protein options of chicken, fish, etc. I would order a double order and a side order of them as well. Let’s make experiences better. Let’s be better and add mushrooms to every recipe and elevate the health of every customer you serve. What power you have! #fungisaysso
