Steak with celeriac slaw
A lot of things in life are about teamwork. One great example is the garden and the allotment.

Congee with coriander and sliced steak
A friend of mine took me to a, what she called, a proper dim sum meal. I had no input when it came to ordering and when a bowl of congee was placed in front of me I had no idea what this was. It turns out it is a rice porridge, eaten for breakfast or … Continue reading
Beetroot curd and steak dumplings
The other day I got a surprise present. It wasn’t intended but somehow there was a surplus of beetroot curd. I didn’t make it so I can’t tell you the recipe, the curd came ready made in a jar and I wasn’t going to turn it down! It had a lovely colour and a delicate … Continue reading

Wild fennel and broccoli shots and a steak salad
Last night the rain was pouring down, hammering the windows making the last night strays from the pub scurry past to get home as soon as possible rather than doing their usual leisurely walk home. The reason I know is because they are usually quite loud, mainly happy and laughing. The rain seems to have … Continue reading
Sometimes love is a good steak and red wine
Do you ever have one of those days when you regret having left your bed, and even more so reading your e-mails? M had one of those days and it wasn’t just one thing, all bad things comes in three and it was about as far as we could stretch a day of misery. There … Continue reading
Beef and kimchi dumplings with bavette steak
