Artisan Sourdough – Barbecues with sourdough and Lovingly Artisan
The sun is out, which can only mean one thing... BBQ, beer and boozey afternoons by the bonfire with your besties. Barbecues with sourdough and Lovingly Artisan are all about the food, and parting your loaves creatively.
The family bakery Monk’s household loves a BBQ. The start of alfresco eating, long, lazy Sunday morning breakfast BBQ’s, smokey sourdough and toast float into light lunches and evening feasting all around the fire pit. Gorgeous summer evenings spent smelling of smoke, nattering over the fire pit, living the best Cumbria life. What makes it that little extra special ?Home cooked food and all of your favourites. And in our case, sourdough.
Generally, as we get into the swing of things, we burn the odd sausage or two and lose a few mushrooms through the grill, yet we don’t give up. If you are as passionate about a bonfire, fire pits and BBQs as the Monks, feasting outside under the light of the stars fills you with as many happy memories as us.
The secret to our success is these core ingredients: Barbecues with sourdough and Lovingly Artisan
Great bread, nothing bland, bold flavours if we are going fishy. Cheese & Marmite are unbelievable with meaty feasts; you have not lived unless you have made a steak focaccia sandwich, inspired by Lovingly Artisan customers; you know who you are. Your daily focaccia bites have inspired us all, and we salute anyone who takes their food as seriously as we do.
Something for dipping? The delicious stuff that mops up the bread bites – Olive Oil and Hawkshead Relish ketchup and dips. This is a conversation creator. Whether north or south, the British love a little dipping and mopping up tastiness. A personal favourite is Hot Beetroot Ketchup. It’s an absolute plate beauty.
With good company, you can’t fail. And if we are lucky, sunshine will appear on the horizon too! Rumour has it it’s on its way. Gosh, we hope so.
What’s on the Lovingly Artisan BBQ menu this summer?
If you’re looking for punchy and flavoursome sourdoughs, Cheese & Chilli Sourdough has to be made with Mrs Kirkshams’s award-winning sourdough. And if you are more adventurous than that, Cheese & Marmite, even the haters love this loaf; it’s incredible with meaty bites, roasted fish, Olive oil and good humour due to its controversial name and taste characteristics.
We adore BBQ toasted Sourdough. The smokey flavours with Winter Tarn Butter – Good morning! Yummy with Lake District Honey. Through to early evening feasting with the family and, of course, Wesley, our Border Terrier dog! His favourite is a Sill Field Farm Cumberland sausage, our Kendal Farmers Market monthly Wesley treat. Our Wesley will do his utmost to nab a Sill Field Farm sausage.
If your children are all about the light and fluffy, it has to be Lovingly Artisan’s Ciabatta rolls; our daughter once described them as little clouds. Light, airy, gentle and pure perfection with a burger buttie. We are the masters of the sourdough BBQ bread menu. Never compromise your buttie making loaves.
We have all earned some summer sunshine, a gathering with family or friends, or even better, both. Great and the best of your people with satisfying delicious foods, the delights that inspire all.
Our Lovingly Artisan loaves can be delivered nationwide from our ovens to your garden patios.
