Those strawberries that were in the fridge…
...are not there now.I got home from work and remembered that I had strawberries that we'd picked up on Saturday from the local farm shop of joy. We'd eaten a fair few but the ones left were about to go over. Not a person to waste food (no, really, I can't) I thought "Oooh! A …

How a recipe morphs…
I started off with a Good Idea. I saw a falafel recipe done where the fresh broad beans were picked, removed from their cotton wool lined pods, cooked quickly, whizzed with a hand blender along with garlic, onions and spices, then fried off.

Mojito anyone?
I do not drink alcohol. I cannot drink it, as I am allergic to it and it makes me feel very bad after only a teaspoonful as my friends can attest. It's not a problem at all, except on hot, sunny days when a mojito sounds just about the best thing ever. Apart from the …
