Pasta and Hot Sauces at the market
I think I have told most of you that I decided to get a market stall earlier this year. I spent years developing the, in my opinion, perfect Hot Sauce. I love the flavor of chilli and the chilli kick but I am not in to pain and when you can’t taste anything else. This … Continue reading

Uova da Raviolo, Ravioli with an egg yolk inside
Sometimes almost all I think about is about food and sometimes I seem to have a severe lack of inspiration. Lately inspiration seems to have been slightly lacking.
