Try One Of Edenmoor’s Chef-Prepared Meals

When it’s boiling outside, sweating away in front of a hot pan is the last thing anyone wants to do. So if you’ve exhausted all the salads and picky bits this summer, why not try one of the new gourmet meals from butcher and farm shop Edenmoor (formerly Pipers Farm)? The collection sees Edenmoor’s chefs cooking nourishing dishes made with top-quality British ingredients – perfect for a speedy mid-week supper or low-effort family dinner. Choose from mains like beef lasagne made with grass-fed beef ragu, Thai spiced Cornish hake marinated with lemongrass and ginger, and British fish pie elevated with sustainably sourced fish from Rockfish. Alongside this are sides like chunky chips, dauphinoise potatoes and cauliflower cheese. Find the full collection at edenmoor.com
