Duck egg sponge trifle
A couple of years ago I made some sponge cakes using duck eggs, a couple of which went into one of the freezers. 2 years later and we decided it was time to use one of them up to help liberate freezer space. So we made a trifle. We still have sacks of apples to get through so stewed apple was also included in the trifle. The custard, of course, was made using our goats milk.
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.
