I have two sources of inspiration for this recipe. The first is 15 year old Conor McLean who beat me to win Britain’s Best Dish.

I made this to accompany a fantastic BBQ that we had over the ferociously hot Easter weekend. Ingredients 285g wholemeal flour, plus a little extra for the top of the [...]

Sustainable, gourmet, creamy heaven in a fully biodegradable cup. That’s what you’ll get when you buy a coffee from Dose.

So, the Royal Wedding. I have to say that I wasn’t overly excited and I didn’t have any plans until a couple of days before. I still wanted to watch it though – mostly to see what Kate would be wearing! I switched the TV on and something odd happened. As soon as I saw [...]
