I heartily recommend the vegan one! 😋
What is your #FoodControversialOpinion?
Here's mine:
New Blog Post: Sticky Toffee Crumble!
One recipe begat two versions - both gluten-free!
Sticky Toffee Pudding Crumble & Banoffi Pie Crumble.
#TodayInMyKitchen Discovering I have a new pet peeve from "the young 'uns":
"Even still, ..."
🤨
Use either "Even so, ..." or "Still, ..."
Please sort it out or I'm gonna start inserting "You only YOLO once" into my everyday conversations.
You know, for the bantz.
#NewBlogPost Two deliciously comforting ragus - one that can build in flavour and intensity over hours of gentle simmering, and the other ready in about 20 minutes.
Both hugely versatile.
Add them to your shopping list today!

New Blog Post: Pepper Gingerbread
Another recipe from 'Mother' circa 1675
#TodayInMyKitchen Seville oranges are in season, so even if you're not into marmalade-making, do get yourself a net or two.
Zest the rind, squeeze the juice and freeze in ice-cube trays in order to enjoy their sharp bitterness all year round.
#IdeasForXmas Home-made Candied Peel!
So good you'll want to eat it by itself!
Add zest and zing to your festive baking, or gift it as presents.
It's a taste sensation!
#TodayInMyKitchen Finally finished jotting down all the mincemeat/mince pie recipes in the manuscripts at the Wellcome Collection.
All 275 of them.
In these sad times of unrest and division, it brings my heart joy the way British commenters have united when an American eats a Terry's Chocolate Orange the wrong way.
#NewBlogPost Griddle Scones!
Yeast scones baked in a pan! #Floofy
New Blog Post: Mocha Bites
A very dark and adult punch of flavour, just in time for #ValentinesDay.

Happy Collop Monday!
For those with a savoury tooth, why not fry some rashers (collops) of bacon and enjoy with marmalade on toast, then tomorrow, cook some pancakes/oatcakes in the savoury bacon fat.

After a second clip emerges of the McDonald's CEO spitting his bite of chicken burger into a napkin, does anyone else think he might be being held hostage Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs? 🤔
"It puts The Product in it's mouth or else it gets the hose again."
#PopQuiz Mastodonners!

@mathw@hachyderm.io Ha! Yes 😁
Reminds me of an old joke from one of my I.T. programming lecturers "To understand recursion, you first need to understand recursion" (bit of niche humour there, but it's funny if you know 😆 )
