Recipe: Oven dal
I decided on Friday that I wanted to have a crack at that oven dal recipe I shared the other day on my list of pantry cooking. About halfway through, I informed Andrew that this was a good proof-of-concept experiment,…
Recipe: Carrot, Tomato and Chickpea Tagine with Saffron and Ras El Hanout
I was asked to organise a farewell lunch for one of my scientists at the local pub, which means organising pre-orders. They have a new menu this month, and one of the offerings caught my attention – heirloom carrot and…
