River Cottage

This is where it all started. The day started off as one of those generic late Summer days in the Kitchen on the Hill. Prep work was in full swing, Breakfasts were being served and a group of people were engaged in a day meeting, utilising our Chapel room. All was good. It was after the main Lunch service that one of the Ladies from the meeting came to the bar in quite a panic. She had forgotten to mention during the original booking that there was a requirement for afternoon delights to accompany the cups of Tea that they would be partaking in later that day. We generally do not create such goods for sale, but not one to see a Lady distressed, I donned my Culinary suit of Armour and promised a selection of treats that would resolve the issue. One item that was hoped for was the humble flapjack. Not a major fan of the oat based sweet snack myself but have made them many times before, mainly with my Children. The only issue with creating a tray was the fact that there was no Golden Syrup within the establishment. But this trifling matter was not about to stop me becoming the Man of the Moment. My main ability lies within creating new recipes, foods and such from scratch on the spur of the moment, and 99% of the time, end up with a product that is bang on the money first time. What ensued was a baked delight that was, to be a self trumpet blower, insanely stunning to eat. The textures, flavours, and looks were perfect and the verdict from the group of Tea drinkers was a huge thumbs up, including one comment that it was"better than sex and orgasmic"....I personally would not go that far, I know what I would prefer, but each to their own. At the end of their get together I was asked to share the recipe with them, which I was all to pleased to do, so I wrote it up to send via e-mail, but needed a name for the newbie. It took a while (the light in my head was somewhat dim by the time I had gotten to sit and write) but then it came to me. And I liked it. Since then I have gotten on to the bandwagon of blogging and such with the aim to place this recipe, and others, into a book of the same name.
