recipes for food lovers
Well I have yet again been so amazed at the amount of fantastically seasonal recipes that have been entered into my guest hosting for Ren Behan’s “Simple and in Season” for June. There are an impressive THIRTY ONE not including my own entry HERE. I have seen so many ideas that I just have to… read more »
Although this is a fairly simple salad in terms of ingredients, it is pretty much home grown. Potatoes, mustard leaf, spring onions, mint, oregano and chives all came from either the garden or the allotment. Because of this the flavours seem to come alive. The taste of each ingredient is discernible individually but they come… read more »
Welcome to Simple and in Season which I am guest hosting this month for Ren Behan over at Fabulicious Food. Ren has been running this event for over a year now and it happens to be the first monthly link up that I ever entered when I started my blog last year! I have entered… read more »
Our allotment is beginning to produce some goodies for us. We have been enjoying the purple sprouting broccoli over the last few weeks and now we are into the spring onions. Both vegetables have required virtually no help from us. The recent rain has been plentiful which should have encouraged the slugs to come and… read more »

Photos appearing on Twitter of The Pitt Cue Co are also emphasising the glory of all things MEAT. I can handle that as well as positively encourage the mass consumption of ribs,… read more »
I never used to really like salmon until I tried it Teryaki style. It’s a fish that can so often taste too oily and flabby, leaving quite an unpleasant aftertaste. What got me back into it was cooking it in this marinade that I don’t even measure. Yes, I do have a specific recipe for… read more »
I was watching Jamie Oliver’s TV show this week and saw him making some very good looking pasties. If pasties are good, they are very very good. If they are bad they are horrid. And I have had more of my fair share of horrid than I have of good, even in Devon and Cornwall.… read more »
