Every weekend when shopping at the market, I have it in my head to buy flatbreads from Tahsin of Turkish Bazaar knowing that I’ll need them for quick & easy pizzas (Sunday or Monday night’s dinner). And as well, last weekend, amongst everything I bought, were the following products which I ended up deciding to use […]

I decided that I’d make a frittata with some of the vegetables I’d brought from Arek on Saturday and including some of our goat’s cheese. It’s easiest to use the vac-packed one that’s soft and has no rind. It’s so easy to break up into small pieces using your hands.   Ingredients 2 leeks, thinly […]

Last week when reading one of the newsletters I get I decided it was about time to try a few different meals with leeks. So this week’s recipe is already a favourite, making a change from having meat, fish or chicken as part of your lunch or for dinner as a first or main course. […]

A couple of days ago I said to Emma that we must get some Hot Cross Buns for the weekend. Her reply was that she would make some, using a recipe that she has used for the last couple of years. So if you’re feeling energetic and have some spare time over the weekend here’s […]

When asked what we’d like them to order in, we always asked for pork sandwiches which we now realise are the tonkatsu sandwiches that the world now seems to be hooked […]

 You could say this isn’t technically a bread and butter pudding as the only butter used is to grease the baking dish. However it does have plenty of cheese!! I took the idea of this from a recipe I saw online but changed it round. A piece is great for lunch with some salad. I […]

These are great as a replacement for peanuts to have with a drink. They’re much more healthy than many snacks designed to go with a beer of glass of wine. You can use any spices you like but I found it easiest to use stallholder Besaha’s Chermoula spice blend. I wanted them quite spicy so […]
