In the Bag: Cooking the Month of April - The Round up!
Sadly the seasonal Jersey Royal potatoes in April's bag have been somewhat hard to come by this year, and those that can be found have been very expensive. We've therefore only had a handful of entries, which is a shame, but nonetheless they've been fantastic entries; as always. If you are able to get hold of these potatoes and can splurge out I hope these recipes inspire you, but not to worry if not; we'll have May's bag stocked full of brand new seasonal ingredients for you very soon - so watch this space.
Ian of 'The Pie Times' was so inspired by the event this month that he entered not one, but two dishes! Take a look at his inspirational Watercress Soup with Feta, Potato and Thyme Bread and the Spring Salad he made with what he had left over. How frugal!
The lovely Helen from 'Food Stories' baked a beautiful sounding and looking Jersey Royal, Watercress and Feta Bread with Greek Basil.
Our 'In the Bag' co-host Scott presented us with a mouth-watering Poached Fillet of Beef on a Cauliflower Cheese Puree.
My own creation was Jersey Royal Potatoes with Feta and Watercress Sauce.
"In The Bag" is a monthly food event run by Julia from A Slice of Cherry Pie and Scott at Real Epicurean

Great round up, Julia. I'm sorry not to have got round to this one - haven't seen Jersey Royals around much, for some reason.
Look forward to hearing the next lot of ingredients!
I have not seen any Jersey Royal potatoes at my grocers or farmars market at all :( And the only packs that I see at my local Sainsbury's were really expensive. Oh well, I'll keep a look out for them anyway when they do appear, and make the dish that I had planned!
I haven't seen them around either but great recipes from those who have entered! Sorry, I missed out on this one, hopefully, I'll find some time for the next challenge.
Quality, not quantity, it seems to me! Gorgeous recipes and I just love the bread! I think you could make a fine menu to serve to friends, if you took something from ech entry!
I wonder why the Jersey Royals have been so hard to come by this year? The ones that I managed to get hold of were so small! Isn't it interesting that both myself and I an made potato bread - love it!
