The other day a friend gave me a rabbit. not a cute fluffy one you understand, but a very dead, very naked one! I have to say I was delighted! I haven’t seen all of Jamie’s Great Britain series, but one episode I did catch included a recipe for 12 hour rabbit bolognese. You may [...]

Yesterday I played Duchess of Cambridge and planted two trees! It was a beautiful, sunny morning and felt more like April than January. Mum came to help and advise and we were the only people at the allotment, our sole company, a woodpecker who would occasionally tap away in his hunt for a snack. I [...]

Sweet Vegetable & Chorizo Stew 1 bulb fennel sliced into 1 cm pieces 1 red pepper sliced 1 yellow courgette sliced 1 green courgette [...]
March Suppers

Some of our more interesting suppers from March included: Conghiglie with Smoked Haddock, Bacon & Broccoli – (March Scans p7). A little indulgent as this uses crème fraiche, but can ease your conscience by using half fat! Really nice flavours – the addition of lemon zest lifts the flavour and stops it being [...]

Spag Bol with cheese

So, the freezers are now very nearly full after a mammoth bolognese making session today. I reckon that I make a batch of sauce every 4 months and it is without doubt our favourite standby freezer meal. Not only does it get used for spag bol but cottage pie and lasagne also. I freeze it [...]

OK, so last night’s bread wasn’t a huge success, or as H put it when I asked how his lunch had been: “well the roll was a little hard, a bit like a brick actually” – quite an impressive simile for a six year old! I gamely had some of the unleavened bread for [...]
