Peachytarte serves up Sensational Seasonal Recipes

With free membership for those who make culinary inspiration a gift this Christmas…

September 25, 2008 - Press Dispensary - Peachytarte ( http://www.peachytarte.co.uk ), a recipe resource with a difference, is providing seasonal culinary inspiration for aspiring ‘master chefs’. And, in a special Christmas offer, anyone who gives a six month gift membership to their family or friends will receive three months’ free membership for themselves.

Peachytarte is ideal for ‘foodies’ – people who love to cook using ingredients that are in season. Each month, members receive 12 new recipes organised into four menus comprising starter, main course and pudding. Ideal for those who are entertaining, as all the recipes can be prepared in advance, but also perfect for those who need to feed busy families day to day.

Each menu comes with a shopping list, arranged in relevant ‘aisles’, to make sourcing the ingredients as easy as pie. Soon, Peachytarte hopes to link into an online store so the ingredients can be delivered to the customer’s door at the click of a button. All recipes come with hints for presentation and a photo of the end result so members can see what they are aiming to achieve.

Nicola Fellowes of Peachytarte says: “Although literally thousands of recipes are available to everyone, huge cookery books can be overwhelming and hence people tend to stick to the same old favourites time and time again. The idea behind Peachytarte is to provide delicious ideas in bite-sized chunks every month. We create and source simple recipes that combine fabulous flavours to produce delicious suppers or glamorous food for entertaining effortlessly. Over time, members can build a personalised, seasonal book of their favourite Peachytarte recipes.”

Dishes adorning the festive table thanks to Peachytarte might include: rack of balsamic lamb with roasted squash, ginger, chilli and mint; wild mushroom, chestnut and pancetta chicken breasts with scarlet confit; pea and tiger prawn oven baked risotto; fillet of beef on porcini croutes with two sauces; fragrant lime leaf Thai fish curry; medallions of slow cooked beef with white truffle oil and thyme; roasted fillets of sole with burnt butter on sweet potato mash and rotolo of butternut squash, mascarpone, spinach and sage. Mouth-watering pudding recipes include Seville orange syllabub with rosemary shortbread; pistachio meringues with apricots in brown sugar syrup; bitter chocolate and ginger semifreddo and little white chocolate and brioche puddings.

Membership with Peachytarte costs £4.95 per month but anyone giving a gift membership in the run up to Christmas would themselves receive three months free membership. Gift membership is £39.95 for six months, making the ideal Christmas treat for a loved one or friend. Orders should be placed by 15 December, 2008 for Christmas delivery.

Peachytarte is also about to launch a membership scheme for children. Addressing the fact that many children grow up without even basic culinary skills, it will encourage younger members to cook for the family, bake tea time treats and learn a new monthly technique. A six month membership will cost £25.

Peachytarte will be attending several Christmas fairs, including the Travelling Souk (see website for details: http://www.thetravellingsouk.com ), the Warwickshire Christmas Fair at Stratford-on-Avon Racecourse on 8-9 October and the Macmillan Cancer Support Christmas Market at the Royal Horticultural Halls, Vincent Square, London, SW1 on 3-4 November, 2008.

Peachytarte, based in Wiltshire, was founded in December 2007 by Nicola Fellowes and Kate Grant – both busy mothers of three with families and friends to feed. The company exists to inspire people to cook. Its team members have all worked in the hospitality industry but also know what works in domestic kitchens. While shortcuts are used in the recipes, cheats (such as frozen mashed potato) most certainly are not. Peachytarte is an environmentally sound company and, in line with its ethos, members are encouraged to receive recipes by email and to buy what’s in season from their local stores.
