Restaurant food at home
One saying in life which is absolutely true is that “necessity is the mother of invention.” My necessity of late is to create gluten free and dairy free dinners. Ordinarily this is quite straight forward, just eat steak and chips. Then the realisation that you can’t eat steak and chips […]
Firstly, apologies for the delay in putting up a new post. Work has been manic( I almost wasn’t going to be here today either, a transatlantic rescue mission didn’t come about at the last minute.) including having to do homework three nights on the bounce last week. I think […]
I cooked this cod rarebit dish when I had my parents visiting. It must have been good as my mother couldn’t stop talking about it! It’s such a straight forward dish to prepare and can be ready in 10minutes if prepared ahead. For those that haven’t come across rarebit before, […]
