Lea Harris, Food Writer and Great British Bake Off Contestant, has had a love of food since her father taught her to cook jam tarts at their huge, battered kitchen table when she was four. Half a century later, that passion hasn’t waned; she loves every aspect of cooking, baking and eating – from sourcing local ingredients to trying the more unusual delicacies the world has to offer.
We’re delighted that Lea is indulging her love of quality ingredients with Yester Farm Dairies to bring you a series of recipes using our products

Ingredients:
1 large aubergine
Oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
Fresh herbs (chives, mint and oregano are a good combination) / harrisa / chilli
Salt and pepper
½ tub Yester Farm Dairies Cottage Cheese
Sundried tomatoes
6 baby tomatoes, halved
Method:
Cut the aubergine in half length ways, brush with oil and season with salt and pepper.
Plop onto a greased baking sheet, pop into a pre-heated oven 200C/Fan180C/Gas6, and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and scope out the flesh, try not to pierce the skin. Put flesh into a bowl and add garlic, herbs, harrisa or chilli, check seasoning and give it a firm stir to break up flesh.
Chop sundried tomatoes and mix with cottage cheese, season to your taste.
Spoon cottage cheese between the aubergine skins, top with smooshed aubergine mix.
Top with halved baby tomatoes and put back in the oven for 15 to 20mins.
Serve with crusty bread and a salad if you fancy.
Serves 2.
“This has lifted cottage cheese to a new dimension” - Great Taste Awards Judge 2020
Our delicious Cottage Cheese tastes like real cottage cheese should. We have deliberately tried to turn the clock back 50 years, making our cottage cheese in open vats, using traditional techniques to create a truly luxurious tasting product that is both high in protein and low in fat.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Our Cottage Cheese is our signature product made on the McCreery family farm in East Lothian, Scotland. We have reinvented cottage cheese and turned the clock back 50 years before it became a bland, zero-fat diet food. Our cheese is a chunky and creamy cottage cheese hand made in the traditional way in open vats from the freshest pasteurised Scottish cows' milk. It’s an artisan product, not like cottage cheese you have ever tasted before. It has around 6% fat content and is high in protein – the original super food.
