When our locally-based team had the idea of producing an ebook to showcase South Devon\u2019s wonderful food and drink, we wondered whether we should broaden our focus beyond the borders of our little region.<\/p>\n

But as soon as we began comparing notes on our favourite eateries and food and drink brands, we realised that the size of our local area wouldn\u2019t present a problem at all: the scale and variety of South Devon\u2019s food economy turned out to be much greater than we could have imagined.<\/p>\n

In fact, our biggest challenge would be to squeeze the essence of South Devon\u2019s delicious food and drink into one manageable serving!<\/p>\n

From the award-winning wines and creamy cheeses produced at Sharpham to the wholesome vegan soups and sauces made by Tideford Organics, there are inspiring stories behind every successful South Devon brand. Some companies, like Riverford Organic Farmers and the Well Hung Meat Company, started as one-person operations and have become major national suppliers of high-quality, ethically-sourced produce. Others fill a unique niche, like the South Devon Chilli Farm, which counts TV\u2019s Jamie Oliver amongst its fans.<\/p>\n

And let\u2019s not forget the fantastic caf\u00e9s and restaurants that make South Devon such a favourite with foodies. With locally-based chefs such as Mitch Tonks and Jane Baxter, both of whom have contributed to our cookbook, and stylish waterside restaurants like Dick and Wills, who also provided us with three delicious recipes, South Devon offers something for everyone \u2013 whatever the time of day, and whatever the occasion.<\/p>\n

To give you a fuller flavour of the contents of our cookbook, we\u2019ve picked out three heavenly highlights in the form of locally-sourced recipes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Remember, this is just a starter \u2013 get the full cookbook here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Figs are great cut into wedges and added to salads, or stuffed with ricotta and wrapped in an air-dried ham before roasting until soft and the ham crispy. Or try this baked version. Great on its own for breakfast with a dollop of thick yoghurt and granola too if you like.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Serves 2-3, but will easily scale up<\/h3>\n
