People are being invited to celebrate Staffordshire Day by making a special oatcake.
Chef Niall Keating has created the special recipe to mark the occasion on 1st May.
The dish features a combination of cheese, streaky bacon and specially-made Paradise Carriage.
To complement the oatcakes, Dominic Harvey has also created a citrus cocktail.
Niall said:
“I’m happy to be able to contribute to the Staffordshire Day celebrations by creating this recipe.
“As a chef, I’m always looking for inspiration in local produce and Staffordshire oatcakes are a fantastic example of the county’s culinary heritage.
“I’ve created a recipe that is easy to follow and showcases the great flavours of Staffordshire. I hope residents enjoy making it as much as I did.”
