Our Recipes

We’ve all had favourite recipes that we’ve cooked on repeat over the last year, so we’ve asked our Orchestra members what their ‘go-to’ recipes have been during this time!

 

Speedy One Pan Brownies

For Ruth McNamara (first violin) the standout recipe are these Speedy One Pan Brownies. Her daughter has made these almost every week for the past year.

If you want to give them a try they only take 15 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes in the oven and only need one pan - so there’s not much washing up! 

Homemade Flour Tortillas

In her normal job, Josephine Frieze is the Orchestra’s Associate Principal Percussion but at home with her children she’s become a pro at making her own flour tortillas. For Jo, there’s an added plus – these are much better for the environment as she’s trying to cut back on plastic-wrapped food.

Jo’s top tip is to weigh everything – including the water to make the process quicker.

Beans on Toast

You may have spotted Scott Lumsdaine, percussionist, in the Orchestra. This lockdown, he has been cooking and has come up with a twist on the nation's favourite lunchtime dish, beans on toast.

Blackberry, Honey and Bay Tart

Frances Evans is a violinist in the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. She lives on her own so has been perfecting the art of ‘small baking’. Frances’ top tips for baking for one include halving raw egg, buying tiny tins, and increasingly favouring the 1/8 teaspoon.

In normal times, she bakes a normal amount and shares them around the second violin section for “cake in the break”. However, in the current climate, Frances is adapting and living by Nigella Lawson’s mantra: “Living solo will not stop me from having pudding”!
