Hello! It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Sorry about that. I got back from overseas, and dove straight into election mode, which meant a heap of work on my politics blog, and then I slept for several days, and…

Recipe: Quick Cauliflower Soup with Chipotle Chilli and Roast Garlic
This was one of those recipes that could have gone either way. Basically, I just chucked some stuff in a pot, and then later in a blender, and called it soup. But there was no way of knowing whether it…
Living Below the Line: Ribollita (sort of)
Another day, another recipe, and a quick note. I know that there are cookbooks out there telling people how to live on very little. Some of them are more useful than others – I think my favourite is written by…
