ADAM MYERS, from Brunswick Organic Nursery and craft workshop, is compiling a book of recipes for those endless piles of courgettes, tomatoes, runner beans and apples that appear at this time of year.

If you have any favourite recipes or new ones you have discovered that you would like to include in the book, please send them to Glut Recipes, Brunswick Organic Nursery, Appleton Road, Bishopthorpe, YO23 2RF or post them at admin@brunswickyork.org.uk

We have had to be quite creative in our kitchen with the courgettes this year and have so far tried courgette and chocolate cake, courgette soup, courgette bake, courgette fritters and courgette and runner bean chutney.

The latter is yet to be tasted as it is has to mature for a while in its jars, but is a double whammy using two glut veg in one recipe.

The book should be available next summer. Adam will be at the Brunswick Open Day today if you want to pop along between 11am-4pm and get more details.

Otherwise if you have any favourite recipes or new ones you have discovered that you would like to include in the book please send them to Glut Recipes, Brunswick Organic Nursery, Appleton Road, Bishopthorpe, YO23 2RF or post them at admin@brunswickyork.org.uk
