split pea soup with coriander (cilantro) & cashew nut pesto recipe
Okay, so now I feel silly. Here I was saying that it’s not very often I cook soup, then I went right ahead and made… split pea soup. Go figure. Maybe it was all that talking about it that had me two days later craving it? I went with it, knowing full well that only […]
bitter orange, rosewater & almond marmalade recipe
When Si came home from work the other day holding a huge box of freshly picked, organic, fluro-coloured oranges, mandarins and tangelos, I knew instantly that I’d have to hide a few to make marmalade.
