Calendar competition: February’s challenge

January’s challenge is out of the way and the recipes are now waiting for your votes. We’re keeping the challenge seasonal this month, but also want to see some of your deliciously warming desserts.

Think leeks, cauliflower, Jerusalem artichokes, kale, cabbage, parsnips, mussels, oysters, Guinea fowl and venison. Anything goes for the desserts, but there will be extra points for using rhubarb or Seville oranges.

Get your thinking caps on and create a recipe using one or more of the above ingredients. Send it in and you could win February’s challenge. Good luck!

Weekend cooking

The weekend is a time when I get to cook the food I’ve thinking about all week. It’s a time for experimentation, where a week day is reserved for quick tried and trusted recipes, and a chance to spend a little more time in the kitchen.

What did you cook last weekend?

The weekend is a time to relax and recuperate from a hectic week at work. If you’re anything like me then it’s also a perfect opportunity to do some serious home cooking.

I’ve already shared our top egg recipes in “Enjoy eating eggs this weekend”. This week I’d like to share our most brilliant cake recipes!
