recipes for food lovers
There have also been moments when I have thought about the logistics of having our allotment and how much time it takes up, can we do it, is it really worth it???? We all have that dilemma with spreading ourselves too thinly, achieving little, taking on a lot and getting frustrated on a daily basis.… read more »
I always seem to have a tub of Cheddar that I have grated for the purposes of a cookery class in the fridge. Making cheese scones, breads, pizzas, wraps and biscuits means I need to have a steady supply of the stuff in my fridge and it often sits there looking at me, urging me… read more »
A Mexican friend of mine told me once that she used cape gooseberries in place of tomatillos in a truly sensational dip/salsa that she makes.Cape gooseberries (Physalis) are both sweet and sharp in flavour. Apparently they are the nearest she can get in terms of flavour to the tomatillo so readily available in Mexico. My… read more »
Following on from my last post, I have another soup recipe for you. I wasn’t planning on writing anything this weekend. I had my sights set upon making a softer set marmalade but then I thought about my week ahead and realised it would be good to make myself a soup that could see me… read more »

It certainly keeps replacing itself in a vary pleasing manner. All I am doing is snipping away and a week or two later, back it is again. I… read more »
I have had a fig tree for as long as I can remember. It started life in mine and Mr.Scott’s first ever flat with a garden in Kensal Rise (NW London) and has been with us for two subsequent moves. It has survived neglect, frosts, snow and whatever the soil and it’s mixed surroundings has… read more »
With the summer holidays upon us, my ability to both write and photograph blog posts will be limited. Children, at least mine anyway, demand an enormous amount of attention (involving lots of behaviour management). It can be rewarding and frustrating in equal measures. So, keeping this in mind, I will be posting recipes over the… read more »
