I may have mentioned once or twice before on this site that I am lover of all things Yotam Ottolenghi. I love his cafes and restaurants (a must when I’m in London) and I love his recipes, which we make often here at home. His dishes are vibrant and inventive, and bring together diverse culinary…

From Farm to Jar
Last weekend we eventually visited Craigies Farm in South Queensferry. We have been talking about it for years and now I eventually have collected enough old jam jars, so it was time to go! We had a spot of lunch there to build up the energy to go fruit picking. A lovely bowl of homemade…
