Happy 2021! It’s been quite the year already, hasn’t it? These photos show why I usually post breakfast recipes at this time of year as the late afternoon light is dreadful for pictures. To be honest, I probably should have held off posting this Easy Butter Chicken until I had better photos, but I have […]
I have had a few requests for brownies lately. Now I have mentioned before how I am not a huge fan of them, as they are a bit too dense for my liking. My previous recipe for Chocolate Brownies is for a thicker, more cake like brownie.
One of the first food blogs I ever followed was Like Mam Used to Bake by Rosanne Hewitt Cromwell. Sadly, this blog is no more but one of my favourite ever recipes was for her Soy Garlic Chicken which I think was inspired by a Crackbird dish. This recipe was where I learned about spatchcocking […]
