Anna Stanford shares a favourite recipe... A quick family pudding, my Grumble uses seasonal plums but would work equally well with pears, blackberries or apples.

The topping is a quick granola mix. You can also make a healthy homemade breakfast granola by spreading the mix on a baking sheet and baking for 30 minutes at 160 degrees, stirring every 10 minutes. This will store in an airtight container for a week.

  1. Mix together all the granola ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Put the plums in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the all spice, orange zest and squeeze over the honey.
  3. Spoon over the granola mix.
  4. Bake in an oven at 160 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Halfway through fork over the top so that the nuts and seeds don’t catch.

TIP: Double the granola ingredients if you want extra for breakfasts

This is a wonderful side dish, or a delicious main course with a crisp green salad. The Alsop & Walker Smoked Mayfield, caramelised onions and soft beans are a match made in heaven. Make in advance and bake when ready...

This is the such a bowl of incredible, deep flavour… the magical combination of beautiful mushrooms with leek and chicken. It’s full of protein and fibre, and yet feels so indulgent. You can use any mushrooms you choose – here...

Warm squash & mushroom salad with Alsop & Walker Ewe Eat Me Cheese and caramelised nuts 

What I love about this salad is both the beautiful flavour and the differing textures. I have used white oyster mushrooms from Basil’s Fungi Farm, but equally a brown chestnut would work well too.
