reakfast has a tag line worthy of a top advertising
agency - the most important meal of the day.
It’s also arguably the most delicious. Maybe it’s
because by the time you ‘break your fast’ from
the previous night you’re properly hungry. Or
possibly because it’s the premier meal of the day,
it’s had first pick and managed to claim so many
delicious dishes as its own – from bacon and eggs
to porridge, pancakes to hash browns, bircher
muesli to a perfectly flakey croissant, the staple
items might shift depending where you are in
the world but you won’t go far wrong with any
country or cuisine’s breakfast food.
One of the finest breakfasts you’ll find in Harts’
home county of Dorset, or any county for that
matter, is at All Hallows Farmhouse, a cookery
school with rooms in Wimborne St Giles. It’s
home to Lisa Osman, an award-winning chef
and caterer who is living her dream of teaching
visitors how to cook in this Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. She specialises in AGA cookery
in the farmhouse kitchen, helping to demystify
this most traditional of stoves in courses that
take in baking, desserts, Christmas, beginners
and experts. There’s also that breakfast essential,
marmalade, to be made. Guests can stay for the
weekend and come away having made jars of
Paddington’s favourite condiment as well as the
bread and butter to enjoy it with.
Here we present three of Lisa’s best breakfasts.
Visitors come from North America to sample her
muffins and marmalade and the kedgeree is one
of the tastiest dishes you can enjoy at any time of
day or night.
