Longueville Manor, St Saviour, Jersey, Channel Islands


Borage - its cucumber flavoured leaves are excellent for tea and other beverages; its blue flowers can be used to decorate salads and other vegetarian dishes.

Longueville Manor, an eighteen acre estate, located in the parish of St Saviour is reputed to be one of Jersey's finest hotels. Its fully restored Victorian kitchen garden is lovingly cared for and is, "at the heart of everything that happens in the Manor's kitchens". For more information click here

Enjoy my memories of Longueville's kitchen garden!

Beetroot is low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals - drinking its juice after exercise can allegedly reduce soreness and help your muscles recover. Delicious roasted accompanied by feta cheese.
Rhubarb - can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes.  Try cooking it with mackerel (in season at the moment) or pork.
Red onion - mild, sweet flavour - can be used raw in salads. Stores very well at room temperature.



Jersey strawberries - so sweet - tastes of summer!

Jerusalem artichokes - cook these in the same way as potatoes or parsnips - brilliant roasted!
