This recipe is based on one from a wonderful old cookery book called Adam’s Luxury and Eve’s Cookery. Published in 1744, it is the earliest book I’ve seen which is largely vegetarian. The first half (Adam’s) is devoted to kitchen gardening, and the second (Eve’s) to recipes. It wasn’t a feminist era. Continue reading

It’s blazing hot and as we get so few days like this in the average British summer, it’s tempting to abandon the computer and leg it down to the veg patch with a basket, a trowel and a pair of scissors. Continue reading
Time was when you invited people round to dinner and they’d politely eat whatever was on the plate.
Now you have to check what they do and don’t eat, whether they have allergies ….
It’s not that I mind, in fact it’s usually enjoyable. We are unrepentant carnivores but we love our veg too. Continue reading
