Spiced peanuts 26 Aug 2013 | 03:42 pm
I am well aware that this post will sound barking mad to many people. The idea of tinkering with a bag of peanuts, when it's so delicious on its own, and when there are so many flavoured versions out ...
Dolce far niente cooking 2 Aug 2013 | 07:35 pm
This post can be considered to close a trilogy dedicated to summer cooking. There is non-cooking, almost non-cooking, and then there is get-out-of-jail-free-card cooking. By which I mean, tin opener ...
Fresh and quick tomato sauce 23 Jul 2013 | 03:02 pm
Another recipe for tomato sauce. Well, I'm sorry, but there it is. They're not all the same. And while the jammy, concentrated, dark and savoury one I've grown up with is great, sometimes it won't do....
Summer non-cooking 16 Jul 2013 | 01:18 pm

Salad 1 May 2013 | 04:45 pm
Better weather, sunshine, the first timid buds showing...spring is late this year, but it will come, eventually. A meal of salad, paté and toast, with some rhubarb and custard at the end, is perfect. ...
Lentils, pressure cooked. 23 Apr 2013 | 04:58 pm
I guess now is not a very good time to convince people that pressure cookers are perfectly safe, convenient little gizmos that don't explode. They really don't, you know, unless you make them. But I ...
Back to blogging 16 Apr 2013 | 02:14 pm
