Restaurant food at home
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 […]
Having a food blog has many advantages. One, it makes you be more creative and cook better food. Secondly, sometimes offers come along that are too good to refuse. This was one of them. Donald Russell, the UKs premier online meat retailer, asked if I would be so […]
To say its been a busy few weeks is an understatement. There’s no let up in the weeks ahead either. It hasn’t been all work though. I have been away for our annual cycling pilgrimage to France. This year we visited Bordeaux. What a beautiful place. Most of France is […]
