Something here saying what you’ll be doing with the recipes section… roughly how often you’ll be adding to it, how you’ll do it, etc…

3-2-1 Shortbread

One of my favourite food writers, Rachel Roddy, refers to some of her recipes as ‘coat on’, implying you could run indoors and almost make it in haste with your coat on, if necessary. This shortbread for me is one of those and has actually been tested as such when...

Pink Onion Pickles

Growing up, pickles for me were always either beetroot (which I disliked with a vengeance) or a jar of Garner’s onions, which only seemed to come out at Christmas. It’s a strong taste for a child but one which I have come to absolutely love (still not the vinegary...

Chorizo and Bean Stew

Chorizo and Bean Stew
