This is a really simple recipe I threw together with miscellany from my fridge, in order to have something “fresh” on our plates. It’s also good to use up a few odd fresh veggies that you have hanging around, and works any time of year, if you are trying to eat seasonally. Relish: makes about … Read more

Today was library day. We haven’t been in ages! I made a list of cookbooks before I went, probably 20, and they had exactly ONE of them. Arghh!
