Recipe: Baked Cauliflower
This is a very simple recipe, from a book called Reds, Whites, and Greens, by Faith Willunger. As you might have gathered from the title, it’s a book of Italian things to do with vegetables. I’m yet to find a…
Eating out: Mrs Parma’s
As you may have gathered, from all the time I spend a) cooking and b) writing about cooking, we don’t eat out much. But I’ve actually eaten out twice in the last fortnight, both times at the same place. This…

Recipe: Three Roasted Vegetable Soups
Three recipes in one post today, because it’s the same (very easy!) method, but with markedly different flavours. I’ve given recipes for a very simple but delicious pumpkin soup, a subtly perfumed beetroot soup and a creamy Jerusalem artichoke soup,…
