Bakery’s bread set to feature on top foodie TV show
Bread crafted by a our Northwest bakery Lovingly Artisan, is set to feature on national TV, as chef James Martin cooks up a bacon rarebit and tomato salad on his ITV1 cookery show, James Martin’s Saturday Morning, during this Saturday’s show (27th May).
James Martin’s passion for cooking
It’s well known that James’s passion for cooking and the very best seasonal ingredients is at the heart of all he does, which we see on screen each week in his highly acclaimed must watch foodie show.
Each week we see James delve into the foodie world of the British Isles, sharing his food inspiration and handy kitchen tips with his guests and viewers alike. And this week’s show is no exception, as he discovers all things sourdough, chatting with artisan bakery owners and real bread ambassadors Aidan Monks and Catherine Connor, who operate multi-award-winning bread stores at Altrincham Market, Manchester and at Plumgarths, near Kendal, in the Lake District.
It’s good to talk …
James spends time chatting with the couple about their business and the provenance of the ingredients they use. As well as finding out why they chose to specialise in hand crafted slow-fermented traditional breads, which they make using their 30+ year old sourdough starter and only the finest natural ingredients.
Catherine Connor, co-owner of Lovingly Artisan Bakery said: ‘’We were totally beside ourselves when we were approached to be on James’s show, especially seeing as we’ve been huge fans for years. His passion for British artisan produce and the people who craft it has always resonated with us and to be able to chat with him and show a little bit of what we are about has been a real honour.’’
Martin also spends time discussing how Aidan and Catherine’s choice of ingredients defines the produce they create. From the organic ancient grains grown alongside Hadrian’s wall to the, to the barley and heritage malts and outstanding artisan produced ingredients they use across their range of nourishing and tasty breads.
