I made this decadent recipe yesterday and troughed some, warm, after dinner. I have to say, they were totally delicious. Today we chilled down a couple more in a cool box to eat after a strenuous hill-walk and they went deliciously fudgy. These brownies are naturally dairy-free and, if you use gluten-free baking powder, gluten-free […]
I love the jewel-like colours of this super simple salad. The zingyness of the lemon juice and mustard contrasts beautifully with the earthiness of the beetroot. We had it on a bed of dressed green leaves and avocado yesterday in the garden for lunch, with the super simple butterbean salad I just posted. Because of […]
This is an everyday salad we eat most days for lunch as an accompaniment to chicken, smoked fish, a bean or pulse salad or a boiled egg or two. The main thing about a salad is it needs to be 100% raw, take up at least 50% of your plate, and is multi-coloured to ensure […]

The recipe is adapted from one in Agnes Marshalls Book of Ices which came out in 1885. This is very sweet even when made with lemons. Children love it. Serves […]

The lovely bitterness of chicory cuts the fattiness of pork, helping you digest it. You could also serve this as a starter, with a sprinkling […]
