Watercress Festival bowl by Richard Bramble

It’s three years since I last went to the Alresford Watercress
Festival in Hampshire and it was just as charming, even if it has doubled in size. As well as the endless supplies of local fresh watercress on
sale for charity, there were lots of other delicious foods to sample, which of
course I did.

A few that caught my fancy were the watercress hummus,
the arancini with watercress pesto and mozzarella, and the watercress cupcakes...

It was lovely to catch up with our friend Richard Bramble who
had a stall with all his foodie ceramics; I particularly liked his watercress
2015 bowl.

Another company who caught my eye were catch, a
company who makes fish cakes from the Isle of Wight. Their crab cakes were truly
delicious; we had some for supper with local watercress and Isle of Wight
tomatoes.

No recipe today, I am just too tired. I bought a couple of watercress
cookbooks so will search for some tasty uber-healthy new recipes for another
day.
