Respecting the Lamb
Hello, food blog friends! This is me, taking a break from politics-land to be excited about lamb, but also to say that I really do love you and have not been deliberately neglecting you all week. Actually, I attempted to…
Recipe: Lamb, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry with Almonds and Saffron
I really don’t understand curries very well, which is why I’ve just bought myself a book all about curries from around the world. You would think, then, that I’d follow the recipes in them, and indeed that was my intention,…

Truffles again, and a little gloat
I have cooked my first truffle! Or rather, I have prepared my first truffle – I didn’t actually cook it. I shaved thin slices off it for my meal and put the rest of it in a container full of…
