May 2020 – Recipes (Scones, Cheese Scones, Canelés, Lemon Drizzle Cake With Edible Flowers, Runebergintorttu) I should probably call this the Great Lockdown Bakeoff (or something).

Food 2020 – The Great British Chefs Cookbook Club (Fire Islands by Eleanor Ford; Wok On by Ching-He Huang)
January/February 2020 – The Great British Chefs Cookbook Club As if I don’t have enough to do, I’ve recently allowed myself to be sucked into a rather fun group on Facebook (I know, I know…), the Great British Chefs Cookbook Club. The idea of this is that every month a cookbook by a British chef…

Sunday, 2nd February 2020 – Recipes (Ox Cheek and Vegetables) On my way home from one of the three WSET Level 2 in Wine training days I stopped off at the small market that has sprung up off Coal Drops Yard, in front of the Waitrose supermarket looking for supplies of raw or cultured butter…
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash)
Food 2020 – Recipes (My Dad’s Goulash) Before anyone shouts at me, my Dad was from the former East Germany (admittedly before it was East Germany), way over towards what is now the Czech republic, and while I suspect this recipe may make a lot of Hungarians very cross, this was his version of goulash,…
