At a time when many households are confined to home we are presented with the opportunity to commit a little more thought to the food that we eat. Indeed, as the choice of produce available through home delivery services, and on supermarket shelves, becomes less reliable, it is useful to experiment with recipes that might depart from the norm. Trying new recipes can be great fun too!

For this reason, Sustainable Swaledale would like to invite local people to share their favourite recipes with others in the community. If your recipe includes locally grown/reared ingredients, so much the better. 

A recipe that has been passed down through the generations, or has a particular family significance, is absolutely ideal. Perhaps you can share a story about the origin of the recipe or why it’s popular in your family. 

To participate, simply post your favourite recipe on our Facebook page, together with the preparation instructions. We will then host a bank of the submitted recipes on our website, so that they are readily accessible to all. The most popular twelve recipes will feature as recipe of the month suggestions in a 2021 Sustainable Swaledale calendar, attributed to their author.

Welcome to our recipes page – we hope that this gets you inspired!

We want to share recipes recommended by local people, ideally those that use our wonderful Dales locally-sourced produce. Using foodstuffs which have been produced locally helps minimise transport emissions, supports the local economy and gives you access to some really top-quality produce.

If you have a recipe to share, please contact us using the web form. Anything goes – we’re interested in snacks, starters, main-courses or puddings…. it can be meat or fish-based, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or cater for other dietary specialities… whatever you fancy!

If you have a good local supplier for some of the ingredients then please include them as a recommendation. Please also see our ‘food map‘ which provides details of local produce suppliers within our area.
