Galton Blackiston - Cooking at Morston Hall

To celebrate ten years at Morston Hall, Galton Blackiston has produced a collection of his favourite recipes which have been rigorously put through their paces both at cookery demonstrations and as a result of their regular appearance on the menu. Galton believes in using locally sourced seasonal ingredients. His philosophy is to keep it simple.

He has built up a reputation for running one of Britain’s leading country house hotels serving good food to a small number of guests. For Galton the move to North Norfolk was a return to children’s summers.

Blakeney lobsters, Cromer crabs, Morston mussels, Cley smokehouse kippers, Norfolk apples and local wild mushrooms are just some of the items which local producers deliver to Morston Hall's kitchen most mornings. These give Galton the chance to work with the best seasonally available produce for his renowned menus.

Galton has brought together many of his favourite recipes, all of which can be easily interpreted at home. They are there to serve as a guide and give a little inspiration to those of you who enjoy cooking.
