Pissaladière: an onion tart that is more appetising than its name
Dreadful name isn’t it? Apparently, according to Larousse Gastronomique, it is named after a condiment from Nice called pissalat and, no, that has nothing to do with overactive bladders and is in fact a type of anchovy purée mixed with … Continue reading
Turning a dullard into a diva: a pork chop transformed

HFW’s Fish Fight app and simple fried mackerel with garlic and bay
