Dear All,
Most people know by now, that after a fantastic fourteen years, Bee and I closed our business, Bread and Flowers in December 2024, upped sticks and emigrated to West Wales, Lower Town Fishguard to be precise. Bee is occupied creating small spaces to live in, particularly useful as we’ve downsized considerably from Longford Farmhouse. She’s also working remotely with a couple of catering businesses based in Somerset who are finding her skills and experience extremely rewarding.
Martin has started writing on the Scribehound platform https://www.scribehound.com/food/community-food-articles/s/community-food-articles. Read about his Rumble in the Jungle adventure and if you have time, please like it and leave a comment, it all helps. He’s still writing for the local village News and Notes, a kind of Alastair Cooke ‘Letter from America’ although in this case, ‘Letter from Pembrokeshire’. He’s still a passionate cook, he’s just putting the writing first for a change.
Fishguard is the port from which you sail to Ireland, so if you’re ever in the area, drop in for a cuppa, we’ll keep a welcome in the hillside, well on the quayside in this instance.
Best wishes,
Bee and Martin.

This dish, which I can take no credit for apart from putting it on the menu is, in a way the epitome of the Bread and Flowers ethos. Take delicious, classic peasant food and present in a fabulous form. This version of ratatouille was originally made for the film of the same name, and by the guy who held the title of best chef in the world for many years, Thomas Keller. I suppose I can take a bit of credit for the one in the picture as I made it and I can't be chuffed enough for having done so.

Tempura Romanesco with bravas sauce, one of the dozen or so canapes introduced this season by our brilliant head chef Alicia Storey. Another reason to look forward to the end of the season, giving us plenty of time to come up with another series of stunners for next season.

Jelly and cream, or in this instance an elevated prosecco and pomegranate seed jelly, still with its bubbles intact, alongside whipped cream and mint tips. Often, simple says it best and tis is a lovely light way to end any mid-summer meal.

Planning ahead, as we always are, and although we're just over the half way mark now in the wedding season, we're thinking of our up coming autumn pop ups and what dishes we're going to present to everyone. We love bringing people together and surprising them with new, exciting, sometimes unusual, but always delicious dishes.

Goat cheese and rhubarb croute with rhubarb syrup and micro herbs, counterintuitive but it really works in a one plus one equals five kind of way. Smashes out the flavour profiles and gives your tongue a big hug on the way down.⁠

A Spanish classic, with the recipe purloined from Jose Pizarro from memory. Orange marinated salt cod, Spanish to the core, dressed with olive oil, white wine vinegar and orange juice and tossed with kalamata olives, red onion and the all defining fresh marjoram.
