Send us your family recipes and win £20 from Powters
THE winner of this week’s favourite recipe competition is Yvonne Clarke, of Hill Close, Newmarket, for her macaroni with sausage meat and carrots.
“I have an 88-year-old father and a 94-year-old father-in-law,” said Yvonne, “and this is a good dish to take to them because it can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days, heated in the microwave and still taste good.”
The recipe feature is sponsored by Newmarket butchers, Powters, which provides a £20 voucher each week to spend in its Wellington Street shop to the reader whose favourite family recipe appears in the Journal.
They should be tried and tested family recipes that use basic, reasonably priced ingredients and they don’t have to be meat dishes. Recipes for cakes, puddings and preserves are also welcome.
If you have a recipe you think would appeal to Journal readers send it either via email to alison.hayes@newmarketjournal.co.uk or post it to Newmarket Journal recipes, Rookery House, The Guineas, Newmarket, Suffolk CB8 8SY.
Please include you name and full postal address and a daytime telephone number, along with a brief explanation of why you think your recipe would appeal to readers.
