Most weeks I fastidiously plan my meals and head out to the shops armed with a detailed shopping list from which I try not to deviate. It saves money and it stops me dithering over what to eat in the evenings. But lately I have found I have become a bit disorganised. I am going …
Another week, another chance to experiment with interesting ingredients. You all know me by now…I just can’t help myself.
