Restaurant food at home
I’ve decided to add this wild mushroom risotto to the blog, so that it gives vegetarians an inspiration for a Christmas dinner rather than a plate full of roasted vegetables. The recipe is straight forward once you’ve made the stock. A lot of effort goes into christmas gravy and all […]
My new favourite thing is to crust fish. Whether that be with a beer batter, tempura or breadcrumbs I don’t think you can beat a crust followed by lovely light fish flesh. As you may know from following the blog, we are avoiding gluten, so a nice floury or breadcrumb […]
