 Meet Bill Wolff-Evans (far left) son Harry (far right) Harry's cousin Ella (next to Harry) and team member Hannah from Rendlesham based deli-company Wolff-Evans and Sons.They have created a proper hand made scotch egg and sell them to Fortnum and Mason, the original creators of the portable snack in the 1730's. Bill told us his secret to the perfect scotch egg. A free range egg from Havensfield Eggs of Hoxne, with a soft set yolk and no "rattle" of the egg within the Dingley Dell pork sausage meat.  Only lean pork shoulder and belly meat is used in the pork casing. Lucky for us "locals" they are also available in 40  East of Englnd Co-op stores in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. Look out for the Christmas special Cranberry and Turkey Scotch Egg. 

I was hunting for microcress, pea shoots and edible flowers and found the most amazing selection grown right here in East Anglia.

Allan Miller at Nurtured in Norfolk in Dereham invited me to take a tour of his glasshouses and I was hit by a sea of green, mini micro leaves of every variety, some which I had never even heard of.

Allan and his wife Sue gave up their jobs as chefs and started growing microcress in a greenhouse in their back garden.  Now they supply the likes of Ollie Dabbous and other Michelin acclaimed chefs.
