Quail egg and goats cheese flan
I still have quail eggs to use up from last year. They keep for a long time because of the thick membrane under the shell. Meanwhile, sitting in the fridge was a large quantity of a goat cheese that had not quite worked properly. I therefore invented a recipe to make flans using both the quail eggs and the goat cheese, plus some beaten duck egg from the freezer.
The end result turned out better than I expected. This was fortunate as I made enough flans to provide us with meals for 4 days!
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.
