Homegrown Kitchen 2025 Recipe Calendar – Now Available!

After a crazy busy few weeks I haven’t had a chance to prepare a recipe to share this week – but you can find some delicious recipe links below. We had a family wedding and a funeral within the same week, with lots of family visiting town. And in amongst it all I picked up my 2025 calendar from the printers. Usually, this is a highlight of my year after months of production to finally see it in the flesh, but I barely had a minute to appreciate it until this week. Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered the calenders, these all went out on Monday. Plus a big thanks to my Mum for helping with the packing and order checking.

I am thrilled with the quality of the calendar, my local printers have done an exceptional job with offset printing on silky matte paper. If you have my recent cookbooks the calendar is a similar style while in a useful format – I do love a wall calendar for planning the months. This is my 8th self-published calendar and I know some of you have been collecting them since the first edition back in 2015. I select my favourite recipes for the pages so they are referred to often. I have my well-used copies tucked away on my cookbook shelf for easy reference.

Some of my favourite recipes in the 2025 calendar months include:

• Peaches & Cream Cheesecake Cups
• BBQ Sweetcorn with Miso Chilli Butter
• Pear & Maple Crumble Pie (cover image)
• Grilled Onion Weed Mac & Cheese
• Summer Fruit & Elderflower Trifle

Please let me know if you have any questions about the calendar. I also have wholesale copies available for stores and discounts on bulk orders (10+ copies) for end-of-year/Christmas gifts.  Contact me for details.

Thanks for your support, and I will be back to normal programming next week with a vibrant spring recipe. Scroll down for recipe links from previous calendars.

Recipe calendar sales help to cover the costs and time running my Homegrown Kitchen website and newsletter. I don’t have advertising or sponsored content on my website and would love to keep it this way with your help. Many thanks for supporting my work. Nicola x

Roast Pumpkin, Barley & Walnut Salad

Barley is a robust grain with a good chew, and eating it truly feels like sustenance. Can use brown rice for a gluten-free version.

Flourless Chocolate & Prune Cake

The key to the light mousse-like texture of this cake is the addition of sugar to the egg whites whisked into a meringue.

Roast Cauliflower Salad with Dates & Tahini

Roasting cauliflower is my chosen mode of cooking as the high heat caramelises and sweetens the florets.

Blackberry & Fennel Loaf with Berry Icing

This loaf is quite fabulous with pops of deep-flavoured blackberries and a subtle hint of fennel humming in the background.
