I know, I know, it’s November and I’m talking about Christmas. But a traditional Christmas Pudding should be made well in advance, though mine is a fridge-dweller rather than the kind you hang off the clothes-horse to dry out. Also,…

Recipe: Warm Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Salad
So I was minding my own business at work this Friday (and I apologise once again for the dearth of posts here, but work has been *crazy*) when I got an SMS from Andrew: “Do you have a recipe for…
Recipe: Farfalle with Asparagus, Broad Beans and Quail Eggs

Recipe: Oma’s Gingerbread
No, I haven’t abandoned this blog! It just turns out that if you take one choir concert, two grant applications and a bunch of grant outcomes, stir in a couple of work events and add an upcoming Shakespeare Feast, you…
