Bavette steak with celeriac and spinach
We have now had little Libby for five months and it is amazing how well she just fitted in and instantly became a natural part of our family. She has more than doubled in size and tripled in weight.

Tarragon and Aijwain brined chicken casserole
Lately I was faced with a bit of a challenge. I had dinner guests coming over and there were some different requirements.

Since moving to the UK I have identified two meals that are unmistakably English. The first is a full English breakfast.

Clam chowder and scallops on the first day of summer
I am so happy to finally write that we had the first day of summer here. I did everything I have been waiting for all winter except eat outside! I wasn’t quite ready for that just yet. I did laundry and hung it outside, it smells so wonderful and fresh, I sneezed from my hay … Continue reading
Julianna’s delicious Japanese Curry
Sometimes I can see a recipe and it seems to be calling out to me. I always read through the ingredients and then I know if I have to make it or not. Saying that I have a massive pile of printed and saved as pdf files saved of “must cook” recipes. It usually takes … Continue reading
