I know that it will soon be Spring and warming up slightly but last weekend it was still freezing and this is the perfect excuse for a slow cooked Sunday lunch. The meat in this dish falls from the bone and lands in the sweetest, syrup of a sauce that has all the body of [...]

This past Saturday we made the most of the sun and had our lunch outside. I bought my twin girls and husband over to see Cherry & Robert (Cha-Cha & Rot-Bot as they are more commonly known) and we cooked them lunch. Our motivation was that this would most probably be the last time my [...]

With the mercury still residing well below what is comfortable for someone who was born in August it was imperative that on Saturday night, as Robert & I got stuck into Season 2 of House , that we had something cosy and filling to eat. Something that also had so much flavour that it jumped [...]
