pumpkin soup

Blinking heck, it’s been a while since I’ve been here… it’s nice to be back! Been spending too much time messing around elsewhere

I managed to grow a couple of pumpkins this year and the obvious thing for me to do with them was to make soup – especially as Guy Fawkes night was coming up. So here, in its gloriously emancipated vagueness (no two pumpkins are created equal, therefore no quantities) is my pumpkin soup recipe…

The Medieval Welsh Diet

This blog is written and published from Wales and I have a passion for history, so what Gerald of Wales has to say on the Welsh diet is of interest:

‘every meal should be a treat’

On Hugh F-W’s TV program tonight, (the one where he takes everyday people and tries to convert them to organic seasonal cooks) one of the participants commented that every meal should be a treat…that we should appreciate and respect just what goes into our food…

She could have a point…
