Please don’t let the sprouts put you off!! Yes, I know most people save this veg for Christmas time but this is a really nice recipe in its own right and also good to use up any leftover sprouts you might have. I know it’s fairly popular as I saw a few pics in my […]

Butternut Squash Risotto
Another risotto recipe, I hear you say! This one is seasonal so I had to post it. Pumpkin and squash are widely available at the moment so it is the perfect time to make this. You’ll have to excuse the poor photos though, the winter evenings got the better of me I’m afraid.

Beef Rendang
