Forget anything you thought you knew about rice pudding from school lunches. This luxurious organic pud is made with whole milk and double cream to create a smooth and creamy dessert, with a just hint of butterscotch. It’s a real treat, and one you’ll want to treat yourself to on a rather regular basis.
Diana Cooper, owner of Tideford Foods in Devon, is shy about her culinary background. "I did a Cordon Bleu course," she says, laughing, "but that sounds really Seventies." She ran an organic café in Totnes in Devon in the Eighties, and in the Nineties, moved back to the family home near Totnes. One year, the family found themselves with a greenhouse full of basil, so they used it to make pesto, which they sold through local businesses. It was a huge success, and led to the production of some Christmas hampers, using turkeys from the family farm. Tideford Foods now makes a range of speciality organic foods, which are completely additive-free. Diana refers to them as "a dinner party in a jar". From the creamiest rice pudding you’ll ever taste to award-winning pasta sauces, these are dishes you certainly would feel comfortable serving to guests.
