From plot to plate

Posted on by

asparagus-lime-mintIt’s all about making the most of fresh seasonal produce this week, with hints and tips on what to buy right now and how to cook it from the Girls Around Town‘s guests Katharine Maxey and Lisa Holloway.

Back in February, Maxeys Farm Shop scooped the FARMA Newcomer of the Year Award, so Katharine certainly knows a thing or two about the ‘what to buy‘.

And who better than Lisa – already well known to listeners for her award-winning Compton House B&B and regular appearances on the show – to offer up some suggestions about the ‘how to cook it‘?

Join June and Sue (Tina‘s having a weekend off!) and their two foodie friends on 107.8FM or online from 10am to 1pm on Saturday for plenty of inspiration – and watch this space for some of Lisa’s delicious recipes early next week…

kids designer clothing salePop up shops are – quite literally – popping up all over the place these days.

They’re a great way to buy things you might not normally find on your local High Street. And when the items on sale come with up to 70 per cent off, well what’s not to like?!

For all the mums out there with children aged between 0 and 13, here’s one – well, three actually – where you can bag a designer bargain for the kids.

If you’re Nottingham-based, you can shop for your tots from 11am to 3.30pm on Wednesday 22 April at The Riverbank Bar & Kitchen in West Bridgford.

And for mums in and around Newark, there’ll be two chances to enjoy these great offers – from 10am to 3pm on either Thursday 23 April at Tom Browns Brasserie in Gunthorpe or Friday 24 April at Farndon Boathouse Bar and Kitchen.
