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…
Recipe: Jacket Sweet Potatoes with Vegetarian Chilli and Guacamole
I have no idea when I will escape this food blog hiatus! Even when I make and photograph food, there never seems to be time to write about it – and most of the food I’ve been making this year…

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…
Recipe: End of Summer Harvest Polenta
My garden is almost ready to bed down for the winter. The zucchini, pumpkin and melon vines have shrivelled to nothing, the rocket has bolted, and this evening I went out to pull up my basil plants, pick the last…
