Community recipe book reveals favourite family dishes

A recipe book of Walsall-inspired dishes has been created by members of the community to commemorate the launch of Lockside, the latest development by national housebuilder Lovell Homes.

'A Taste of Lockside ' has been crafted through recipe submissions from schools, organisations near to, or associated with the development, as well as the Lovell Homes team, to showcase the area 's incredible diversity and to share food that reminds local people of home.

Creations include spicy bean burgers, brownies and a classic Sunday roast - perfect plates for bringing loved ones together.

Lockside is a new community in the heart of Walsall that offers 252 homes including two, three and four-bedroom properties.

Trish Foster, regional sales director at Lovell Homes, said: “Much like the communities Lovell Homes strives to build, food brings people together, allowing conversations to flow and friendships to form.

“So, what better way to mark many new chapters beginning at Lockside than with a warm welcome and a slice of what makes Walsall special? ”

The £44 million scheme is located just one mile from Walsall town centre.

This is the first development to be realised by Anthem Lovell LLP, a joint venture between Lovell Homes and a subsidiary of housing association whg, Anthem Homes.

Claire Brabbins-Pretty, sales executive at Lovell Homes, said: “Moving to a new home is a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours and the wider area.

“We hope the recipes in this book go some way to learning about Walsall 's brilliant community, while providing some delicious meals that will help everyone feel right at home, wherever they are. ”

Contributions for the recipe book have been received from Birchills CofE Community Academy, whg, Elmwood School, Croft Academy, and the Lovell Homes sales team in Walsall.
