Oh, my poor neglected food blog! Which is about to be even more neglected, as with an election approaching (timed, by the look of it, to clash most vilely with the grant application high season at work), and more than…
So that was a longer break than I had planned. Basically, I went back to work, where there were grants, organising our participation in Midsumma, and the aftermath of the restructure – I have lost six labs and gained six…
So this recipe was going to be yet another of my nut-based gluten-free biscuits. Since I had a lot of pistachios and it is Christmas baking time, I thought it might be fun to make extremely green biscuits with a…
