SORTED Food Demos
The SORTED Crew put on another great live food demo last week! This time with the fantastic guys at Anglia Ruskin University.
Plenty of fresh, simple and tasty food ideas were enjoyed by students and staff alike.
Next week - we're off to Birmingham for more food fun!
Custard cream makes number one spot!
It’s official! As a nation of tea-drinking and biscuit-dunking fanatics the biscuit distraction has once again become a topic for procrastination.
And here we are with breaking news. The humble custard cream has been voted Britain’s favourite biscuit thanks to being “fun” to eat and great little dunker! Finally, after many years , knocking the chocolate digestive off its poll.
Other close contenders were the hobnob, rich tea, jammy dodger and ginger nut!
chocolatey goodness for Valentine's Day
Ingredients:
- Use as a hot sauce or chill and reheat later.
- Cool to room temperature and whisk to a mousse - use a cake filling/topping etc.
- Pour into shot glasses, chill and top with a bit of cream for a posh pud - great for Valentine's - a shot glass is enough to look trendy, provide a lush pud and just enough choc to avoid substantial weight gain by your partner!
- Chill till firm, roll into balls and then in cocoa for truffles.

Everyone is challenged to knock up a few great recipes with simple store cupboard ingredients ideal for students struggling with January budgets. Quick, simple, cheap, fun recipes!
Cheese and beer on toast!
Every student knows how to make cheese on toast. This twist combines the classic idea of Welshe rarebit with another ingredient synonymous with students – beer!
- butter (25g)
- plain flour (25g)
- beer, preferably ale (125ml)
- strong cheddar cheese (125g)
- blob of wholegrain mustard
- splash of Worchestershire sauce
- pinch of salt
- couple of slices of bread, preferably wholegrain.
pre-heat the grill.
melt the butter in a small pan and throw in the flour.
cook out on a gentle heat to form a thick paste for a minute or two, keep it moving.
pour in the ale a bit at a time, stirring well to incorporate each time.
grate the cheese and add to the mix, heating gently to melt.
toast the bread until lightly golden.
beat in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce and season to taste.
spoon the mix onto the toast and place under the hot grill to bubble and turn golden.
Tip
Don’t forget to swig at the rest of the beer as you cook. Chefs treat!
Broccoli and peanut butter soup ???
Sound like we've lost the plot?
Well just trust us, it's a winning combination, no matter how strange it sounds. Try it once and you'll be back for more!
- small onion, diced
- clove of garlic, crushed
- head of broccoli, roughly chopped (size depends on quickly want it to cook)
- litre of boiling veg stock (more likely to be stock cube for us students)
- two generous dollops of crunchy peanut butter (to taste but about a tbsp)
sweat the finely diced onion and garlic off in a pan with a shot of oil.
hack up the broccoli into equal sized pieces, the smaller they are the quicker they’ll cook.
add the broccoli to the pan covering with the stock.
simmer for 5-6 mins or so before spooning in the peanut butter.
blitz, season and serve.
