Red Rice Stir Fry with Poached Eggs

We get our vegetable box on a Friday and if we get cabbage and potatoes, I’ve taken to making bubble and squeak for brunch at the weekends. A spoon (or more) of baked beans on the side and a poached egg, what could be better? Now, this isn’t bubble and squeak in the strictest sense, […]

I spent the weekend visiting the family in Manchester. While I was obviously required to make brownies, we did most of our eating in some delicious restaurants.

Salad

In an effort to be healthy… this is a salad Rose whipped up for us. I’m a big fan of most vegetables raw, as long as they’re cut small enough. With healthy food and indeed anything you plan to eat, its really important to feed the eyes… I’m a sucker for anything that looks really […]
