Local and Seasonal Recipes

Over the years FoodFutures has gathered together a whole range of recipes from local people inspired by the seasons, local produce and the different cultures of North Lancashire. This page provides links to different collections of recipes, articles and blogs sharing recipes and tips for eating and cooking local produce.

A selection of recipes shared through the FoodFutures network and associated projects. Here you’ll find all the THRIVE magazine seasonal recipes as well as others shared by people across the network.  This link takes you to a folder where recipes are organised by season.

Explore techniques for preserving food from fermentation through to making jams and fruit leathers. The best place to start is the Closing Loops Preservation guide which you’ll find in this folder. You’ll also find recipes shared by local fermenters and workshop cooks.

This section includes all the beautiful seasonal foraging articles produced by local plant forager and herbalist Julia Russell for THRIVE magazine.

You’ll also find tips for safe and respectful foraging as well as recipes from other local foraging experts.
