a week with the Remoska

Well, we’re dead pleased with it. Here’s what we’ve done so far: soup – veg started off, bones roasted banana muffins made cooked breakfast – bacon, mushrooms, black pudding roast pork and roast potatoes plum crumble (plums cooked first in the shallow pan, then complete crumble in the big one, in a dish on the…

soup (an ongoing series)

This isn’t quite the first soup of the season, it’s the second. But never mind. Regular readers will know I’m not a fan of supermarkets, but if I have to use one, the local Morrisons is my favourite. We popped in there yesterday on the way back from picking up my new melodeon (yay!) for…

a full oven, and a plum crumble

energy saving cooking

Apologies for the hiatus in posts – I find cooking in the summer a bit meh and uninteresting, and had nothing new to write.
