Eating in, inspired by eating out
inspired by Sorella After yesterday’s delicious Sourdough and Whipped Herb Noisette it’s time to move onto the snack portion of my fantasy seven course menu. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m cooking a different course of a seven course meal…
inspired by The Wimborne Pig Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Despite all the restrictions, the changes of plans and the lack of pubs and restaurants we did, in fact, have a very merry Christmas. It just goes to show the power of good food…

inspired by Avobar As predicted the day after our kitchen wall came down it started to rain. However I don’t think anyone is going to be holding me accountable. After the heatwave we have just had rain feels amazing. What doesn’t feel amazing, however, is…
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…
