At last, here we are!  Christmas is over, the leftovers are (almost) eaten and I’ve got enough time on my hands to finally do what I’ve been promising friends and family for ages and start this blog to share all my recipes and culinary adventures.

Until now, my recipes have been scribbled on bits of paper, “stored” in a sea of other bits of paper and frequently forgotten for months or years at a time before I rediscover them.  Normally while tidying up. The plan is to organise and categorise them here, both for my own benefit and to allow me to share them more easily with friends and family.

I like to cook using whatever is cheap and in season, though in reality it is probably more simply whatever is on offer in the supermarket this week.  Living very close to both Aldi and Lidl, I am frequently inspired by their offers and enjoy finding creative ways with their bargain fruit and vegetables.

Enjoy.
