Continuing on our meat free odyssey, tonight we set sail across the Atlantic and headed for Mexico, courtesy of Thomasina Miers and her smokey stuffed peppers. Since Sainsbury’s delivered very small peppers, I stretched things by using 3 gorgeous dinky Baby Bear squash from last year’s allotment crop and it was hard to [...]

Gurnard with Crushed Potatoes & Porcini

I have been watching Hugh’s Fish Fight this week. It made for very depressing watching; seeing so many perfectly edible wonderful fish being thrown back into the sea dead, just because the fisherman have reached their quota of that particular fish.

Had a lovely evening last Saturday with friends over for dinner. Deb & Rob, Helen & Matthew and Alexia & Matthew, all friends from the village. Tried to keep to a seasonal menu and wanted to keep it reasonably simple as it was the mayor’s procession during the day so we were all busy [...]

We have had a nice lazy weekend which has left lots of time for gardening and cooking. This afternoon we all went to the allotment for a couple of hours and cleared away the sweetcorn and pumpkins to make room for a manure delivery (hopefully). I have one area of the allotment which isn’t fenced [...]
