Cheeky Cow!

Mike, our butcher, had got a couple of Ox Cheeks in. I’ve never had them before but I thought I’d give them a go. I’d read about them and understood that they needed a nice slow cook.

Not leek and potato soup though, that can’t…… Continue reading Sweet Potato & Red Chili Soup

Crispy Cornflake Tart… For An Old Fart!

Most people I know seem to remember this from their schooldays… I don’t! What a deprived childhood I must have had! It’s one of Kits favourites. I remember her telling me about it and I was just looking at her with a vacant “what are you on about?” look on my face. Then Kit turns…… Continue reading Crispy Cornflake Tart… For An Old Fart!
