North Yorkshire based food tour business Yorkshire Food Finder have diversified during the current lock down period to create a blog encouraging people to use locally sourced and seasonal produce. Run by husband and wife team Aiden and Sue Nelson from their home in Wheldrake near York, the new blog, Lock Down - Eat Up! provides weekly recipe inspiration using the vegetable boxes from Bert’s Barrow farm shop near Selby, along with a host of other locally sourced goodies. This hearty recipe for Yorkshire Root Vegetable Bake uses swede, carrot, parsnips, potato and an onion which are all available in the week’s boxes, but you could add in others that you have to hand to create a deliciously warming and comforting side dish or dinner.
