Whaligoe Catering at Dornoch Food & Drink Market,
Saturday 30th May.

I am very pleased to be bringing a selection of my produce to the Dornoch Food & Drink Market, this Saturday the 30th May.

It is held at the Dornoch South Car Park, and runs from 11am to 2pm.

This months selection is below:

Fresh Hearthbreads
These are lovely fresh, or may be frozen for later use.

Pasta - plain egg, or spinach & egg
Pasta is made fresh on Friday, so you may use it straight away, or dry it for use later.

Truckers Pasta Sauce
This tomato sauce is a winner, bursting with fresh flavours, and a subtle layering of spice, together with olives, capers and a little garlic.

Caponata
This delicious mix of peppers, tomatoes, aubergine and other seasonal veg is a sweet and sour sensation. Great as a side dish for 2, or a tasty dinner for one.

Chilli & Garlic Oil
My chilli & garlic oil, great as a pasta sauce, dip for breads or just to use as seasoning in whatever you are cooking.

Barley Salad
This is a mixture of black and pearl barley, loaded with roasted grapes, toasted almonds and a dash of pomegranate molasses. Works warm or cold.

White Bean Salad
Delicate cannellini beans are dressed with loads of garlic & parsley for a flavour punch.

Honey & Ginger Aubergine
This is our favourite way of eating aubergine, sweet & spicy, may be eaten warm or cold.

King Oyster Mushrooms
Fabulous King Oyster Mushrooms are steamed with garlic butter.

Rabbit Stew
A labour of love, the rabbit is slow roasted in red wine, then deboned and added to a luscious tomato sauce, may be used with pasta, or veg.

Chicken Pies
Chunks of poached chicken in a white sauce with peas and red peppers.

Ricotta Pies
This is a typical Maltese pie, ricotta is mixed with a little spring onion, some parmesan, and peas, then bound with a little egg.

Beef Mince & Onion Pies
The tasty filling is simmered for a couple of hours, giving a rich mouthfeel.

Ricarelli
Small almond biscuits, scented with lemon.

Spiced Sugar Syrup
Some of my ever popular spiced sugar syrup, this is the same mix that I have been serving at the restaurant for many years, and makes the best fresh lemonade you will ever taste (in my opinion of course).

I hope that you are tempted by the above, and look forward to seeing you at The Dornoch Food & Drink Market, on Saturday 30th May.

Whaligoe Catering at The Hidden Lane
Saturday 16th May

I am pleased to once again be at The Hidden Lane, 7A Brabster Street, Thurso, on Saturday 16th May from 10:30 am to 3:00pm.

I’m enjoying making some ‘specials’ this month, remember that I am happy to make you something special, as long as you give me a few days notice.

This months selection is below:

Fresh Hearthbreads
These are lovely fresh, or may be frozen for later use.

Carta de Musica
These Italian delights are neither bread, nor cracker, but somewhere between. Paper thin, they keep well, and are delicious used to scoop up dips or crumble into soup.

Pasta - A variety
Pasta is made fresh on Friday, so you may use it straight away, or dry it for use later.

Truckers Pasta Sauce

This tomato sauce is a winner, bursting with fresh flavours, and a subtle layering of spice, together with olives, capers and a little garlic.

Caponata
This delicious mix of peppers, tomatoes, aubergine and other seasonal veg is a sweet and sour sensation. Great as a side dish for 2, or a tasty dinner for one.

Chilli & Garlic Oil
My chilli & garlic oil, great as a pasta sauce, dip for breads or just to use as seasoning in whatever you are cooking.

Squid Salad
This delicate summer salad is comprised of lightly poached squid rings, cooked with cavolo nero, tomatoes and chickpeas.

Chicken & Leek Pies
Chunks of poached chicken in a white sauce with leeks.

Cheese & Potato Pies
A tasty mix of cheese, potato & onion fills these little pies to bursting point.

Pork & Beef Polpetti
Think of these as supercharged meatballs, roasted to get a light crust, then finished in a tomato sauce, spiced lightly, utterly delicious.

Hand made Gnocchi
If you have only eaten ‘industrial’ gnocchi before, these will be a surprise. They are soft, a little dense, simmered for a moment, then pan fried with a little grattato.

Maltese Ftira
This Maltese style pizza is more of a bread pie, stuffed with italian sausage, fennel seed, chopped potato, olives, capers, onion & a little tomato - finished with mozzarella & a little parmesan.

Ghost Chilli & Potato Pizza
This is a Roman style thin crust pizza, brushed with some ghost chilli bbq sauce, and topped with thinly sliced potatoes & chopped bacon, with a sprinkle of mozzarella.

Orange & Almond Cake
This mediterranean favourite is slow to make, but quick to eat.

Ricarelli
These little almond biscuits are scented with zingy lemon.

Spiced Sugar Syrup
Some of my ever popular spiced sugar syrup, this is the same mix that I have been serving at the restaurant for many years, and makes the best fresh lemonade you will ever taste (in my opinion of course).

I hope that you are tempted by the above, and look forward to seeing you at The Hidden Lane on Saturday 16th May.

Honey & Ginger Aubergine
A house special, this is one for anyone who loves aubergine, smoky, spicy, sweet and delicious, may be used as a side dish, or with pasta or rice as a main.

Truckers Pasta Sauce
This tomato sauce is a winner, bursting with fresh flavours, and a subtle layering of spice, together with olives, capers and a little garlic.

Trapanese Pesto
This is a Sicilian take on pesto, made from a mix of almonds, sun dried tomatoes and fresh mint - it is both surprising, and delicious.

Funghi al olio
Mushrooms gently simmered, then mixed with garlic, aleppo pepper, vinegar and olive oil, giving you a choice to use this as a stand alone dish, or a pasta sauce.

Chilli & Garlic Oil
My chilli & garlic oil, great as a pasta sauce, dip for breads or just to use as seasoning in whatever you are cooking.

Beef and Vegetable Pies
Beef mince mixed with potatoes, carrots and celery, seasoned and bound in a rich gravy, and packed into pies.

Fresh cheesecake
Lemon and raisin cheesecake, my personal favourite.

Fresh Walnut Baklava
Crispy and chewy, this fresh baklava is a sticky treat.

Bigilla

Another favourite, this bean paste is layered with complex flavours, perfect with a breadstick, cracker, or just by the spoonful.

Rabbit Stew
Fresh rabbit legs, simmered low and slow in a tomato and white wine sauce, packed with vegetables - ready to eat. A complete meal for one, just heat and eat.

Knish
I love knish. These little buns are filled with crushed potato, onion, cheese and a little mustard, wrapped in pastry and baked until crisp.
This mix of flaky pastry and soft filling is a winner.

Freshly made chicken & mushroom pies. in a buttery pastry.
