Restaurant food at home
I’ve been quite quiet recently on the blogging front, no real reason except life has been really busy. I’m spending a lot of flying days away from base at the minute. Which means when I do get home there are loads of jobs to do and dedicating much of it […]
I couldn’t help myself wanting to make a version of this dish after seeing Simon Rogan on Saturday Kitchen.
