I was set a challenge and that was to cook one of Arthur's four new recipes.

With the mention of feta cheese in the ingredients, for me it was easy to choose, vegetable filo pastry tart it had to be. 😋

Scrummy yummy feta cheese with very slightly crunchy vegetables in a creamy sauce, all encased in crispy filo pastry; seriously what's not to like?!

Good Energy Cooking

Food and the environment are both important aspects of our daily lives, and the two are inextricably linked.

Good Energy, the UK’s leading 100% renewable electricity supplier, has teamed up with green chef Arthur Potts Dawson to teach people about low-carbon cooking.

Both Good Energy and Arthur believe we can all do our bit for the environment by adopting a low-carbon approach to cooking and food whether that is how we source, prepare or cook our food.

From how we power our kitchen to the choices we make about the food we eat.

Both Good Energy and Arthur believe we can all make small differences that can go a long way to positively impact our planet.

Arthur has created four recipes that are not only delicious and healthy but also consider the environmental impact of the choices we make when shopping for, storing and cooking food.

Baking equipment

You will need a 10-inch loose bottomed tart tin otherwise the tart will break trying to get it out of the baking dish.

Eco Tip!

When the oven is on, make the most of it by cooking several dishes at the same time.

Plus, when you switch the oven off you can use the residual heat to make croutons, dry herbs and chillies.

The leftovers from this tart make a great packed lunch the next day.
