More roast chicken
We've had lots of roast chicken recently. Chicks hatched earlier this year are maturing and as soon as a cockerel starts crowing, he is invited to join us for dinner. We have another 4 cockerels to go. We recently had two birds roasted. Leftovers are used for a variety of meals, ensuring nothing is wasted.
Though the mass produced chickens sold in supermarkets have more meat on them than the birds we produce, the flavour of ours is, in my humble opinion, much better.
The unbeatable combination is roast chicken, roast vegetables (potatoes, beetroot and parsnips) and a tomato sauce.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
