It's a real Most of us try our best when it comes to recycling but, when it comes to
pain in the garden waste, Central Bedfordshire Council say that unfortunately some
grass! are still putting the wrong items into their bins and bags and these items are
causing major problems and ruining the good recycling already collected.
What IS accepted:
Grass cuttings
Plants and weeds
Flowers
Prunings
Hedge clippings
Leaves and bark
Vase plants
Pond plants

What is NOT accepted: Vegetable peelings, kitchen waste, plastic
bags, plant pots, polystyrene trays, soil, rubble, animal bedding, pet waste
and general household waste

If in doubt please leave it out! That’s the advice from CBC regarding garden waste recycling.

If you have an item that you’re not sure can be accepted as part of the garden waste collection, leave it out
and place in your domestic waste bin or alternatively take it along to your local tidy tip.

Food

7 Layer Bar

I am not sure I know any food writers who are more prolific
than Hannah Miles. Every time she is a guest on my
programme, she seems to have added another couple to
her list and she is now up to well over 30 books. Her latest
is called Traybakes (published by Lorenz Books) and,in it,
she shows how versatile traybake cakes can be.

This indulgent tray bake may actually be the Queen of
Traybakes. Loads of indulgent ingredients, bound
together by a can of condensed milk,to create a perfect
snack or lunchbox treat, especially for your children or
grandchildren. It’s also ideal, as traybakes often are, if you
need to rustle together a cake for the school fete or a cake sale at work.

This is a big treat bar, packed with flavour, fun… and calories!

How To Make Ingredients

Equipment: Food processor or blender, 35cm x 25cm For the Base:
deep baking tin, greased and lined 300g/ digestive biscuits or graham crackers
125g butter
Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180C/350F.
For the topping:
Blitz the biscuits to fine crumbs. Melt the butter in a 200g chocolate chips
saucepan and pour into the crumbs. 100g fudge pieces or butterscotch chips
60g raisins
Stir well so that all the crumbs are coated in the butter. 100g pecans, coarsely chopped
Press the crumbs out in an even layer over the base of 150g flake sweetened
the tin using the back of a spoon. coconut (or desiccated)
60g toasted hazelnuts,
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the biscuit base in a halved or roughly
layer. Sprinkle over the fudge pieces, raisins and pecans. chopped
Sprinkle over the coconut and hazelnuts. 398g can of condensed
milk
Drizzle with the condensed milk. Bake for 25 – 30 min-
utes until golden brown then leave to cool completely in
the tin.

Cut into 24 squares to serve. This layer cake will store in
an airtight container for up to 3 days - if it lasts that long!
