Three Good Things: squid, roast potatoes, chilli

Puy lentil salad with goat’s cheese, spinach and pine nuts
Comfort food isn’t something I often associate with the summer. It’s a description I tend to use for sausages and mash, roast dinners and bowls of soothing Thai chicken soup. But sometimes I crave a particular taste, a particular combination … Continue reading
