RECIPE OF THE WEEK 

IRISH STEW - Thank you Paula - this will be
available to sample on the open day and a recipe sheet will be available. 


A customer last week mentioned it would be useful to have all the recipes
available in the shop so you can look at ingredients and quantities when
you are actually shopping - should have thought of this sooner......
