Recipe from Bill’s Basics by Bill Granger I have wanted to blog this recipe for some time – it is one of the first things I tried from Bill’s Basics and it has since become one of our favourite curries. I have tried so many curry recipes over the years, most of which involve lists of […]

Recipe From River Cottage Everyday I know I have been a naughty blogger lately and have neglected my poor old blog terribly but I’m back in the saddle as they say and to make up for my absence I thought I should post something really nice and sweet by way of apology. We are trying to cut […]

For the last couple of weeks I have been craving something different for lunch, something a bit spicy, hot and light and these Falafel Burgers, based on a recipe I found on the BBC Good Food website, turned out to be just what I was looking for. They are very simple to make and make a great lunch when […]
