Ratatouille

Ratatouille

inspired by Rustique Restaurant & Bistro Here we are again. Lockdown 2.0. However it all feels very different this time around, doesn’t it? The few days before the last national lockdown were stressful. Desperately trying to get an online supermarket delivery, dashing around shops trying…

Courgette & Broad Bean Risotto with Stuffed Courgette Flower

Courgette & Broad Bean Risotto with Stuffed Courgette Flower

inspired by The Kitchin I’ve had a few days off from cooking. A mix of helping reopen Aidan’s pub, picking up some work (work…remember that??) and restaurants reopening all means that other than popping a supermarket pizza in the oven one evening, this is the…

Day 96: Pork Sausages with Bean Cassoulet

Day 96: Pork Sausages with Bean Cassoulet

inspired by Nook One of the things I love about writing this blog is that along the way I’ve discovered all sorts of restaurants that I never knew about before. Some on my doorstep, and some further afield. I think I’ve only ever been to…

Day 55: Courgette Carpaccio, Goats Cheese, Hazelnut & Mint

inspired by The Garrison Maybe it’s because the sun is shining. Perhaps it’s the amount of cheese I’ve eaten recently. But I’m suddenly craving something fresh and light. Preferably something green. This might sounds strange, but I really love salads that don’t have lettuce in.…

Day 16: Courgette Pancakes with Roasted Tomatoes

Day 16: Courgette Pancakes with Roasted Tomatoes

inspired by Bourne & Hollingsworth I might have drunk a little bit too much wine last night. This is the problem with lockdown. Unfortunately I can’t blame a stressful day at work. Hump day is not an excuse. All days are pretty much equal now.…
