Plum tomato, mint and caper salad
I started my leftover-defrost-declutter process at the weekend not with a recipe but with a rather wasteful trashing of the large, by-now-unhappy-looking, piece of watermelon.

A is for Asparagus Benedict
I’m not sure there is any moment of the year, in food terms, that rivals the beginning of May. At least not in Britain. Because this is the time of year when British produce comes into its own: suddenly it’s … Continue reading
