There has been an unlikely combination of events and food in our life over the last week, things that shouldn’t rightly be together but just happened to be….snow and strawberries… Morocco seems to have joined the rest of the Northern Hemisphere in the big chill and this last weekend we had a great time [...]

Meat Free Mondays…….. There is definitely something very comforting about butternut soup. With autumn in full swing here and a definite nip in the air at night this is a perfect light meal. If you don’t have kids (or your kids don’t mind chilli) add a few slices of red chilli when you add the [...]
