Baking the most of Easter!

Indoor Easter fun with Great Food at Leeds

Each year Great Food at Leeds staff like to raise funds for local and national charities.

Last term our customers helped raise an amazing £820 from sales of the GFaL Club Cub, with all the money going to local charity Leeds Mind. This spring we wanted to raise even more from sales of our GFaL Club Bunny. Unfortunately, this isn’t a normal Easter break so our plans are on hold, but we know we can still show support with some good old-fashioned indoor fun for all the family!

Easy Easter Shortbread Biscuits

with Great Food at Leeds, Acting Senior Head Chef, Lisa Hall

Inspired by the GFaL Club Bunny, Chef Lisa shows you how easy it is to make tasty shortbread biscuits at home using simple ingredients that can be found in your cupboard.

Lisa joined the Great Food at Leeds team in 2007, before then she had served 15 years in the Royal Air Force. Her first RAF camp was ‘RAF Finningley’ in Doncaster and was stationed around the UK with tours consisting of the Falklands, Italy, Germany and Kuwait.

“Food to me is a good morale booster. So making food that is enjoyed by everyone is what keeps the passion for cooking a necessity for me”.

Her catering knowledge and experience is extensive, from cooking for hungry soldiers in the field with basic rations, to fine dining senior dignitaries and members of the Royal family!
