These bars are a staple of the season. Festive and wonderfully tangy, not terribly sweet, with a crispy base that is simple and quick to make without the faff of pastry making, these are the…
The contrast of the caramelised orange flesh of squash wedges and the bright green glossy leaves of the sprout tops are the perfect invitation to indulge in the flavours, colours and textures of this dish. …
These golden nuggets of crunchy, garlicky saltiness are undeniably my favourite roast potatoes. Smashed, with incredibly crispy outsides and delicately fluffy insides are basically everything you could ever want your roasites to be.
I am often faced with a number of kitchen quandaries. Most frequently I find myself in 'the serving piece predicament'. My cupboards are dangerously packed to the hilt with bowls and platters in virtually every…
