Been hunting high and low for Yukon Gold seed potatoes in the UK. No luck so far - not even Otter Farm @markdiacono.bsky.social , where I once found Amandine. Just read a Serious Eats piece explaining why Yukons are vanishing. Starting to make sense now.
Porridge with pear, nutmeg, pumpkin seeds, maple syrup walnuts.
Sunday morning porridge. Inspired by @markdiacono.bsky.social's recipe, served with pears, nutmeg, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, maple syrup and tayberry jam. 🥣
In the Sunday Times, @markdiacono.bsky.social adds that something extra to take quotidian plates of eggs to higher planes. Mark has been a long time fan of our pans and we're always thrilled to see them in regular use – this is his frying pan filled withpotatoes, spinach, tomatoes, chilli & eggs.
Thank you - I hope you enjoyed it

We've been lucky enough to receive an early copy of this wonderful book, which we will be discussing with author @markdiacono.bsky.social at @ludlowfood in September.
A review will be coming, but in the meantime why not pre-order your own copy?
Come to Ludlow to hear us in conversation.

We may be contemplating salads, but there is still the temptation to turn on the oven to bake a cake. Stone fruits and berries abound and lift summer bakes to dizzying heights.

what a great night wasn't it!
Marvellous. I fear there's a thread, nay a book, in this sort of thing. A friend used to help is very young daughter put her shoes on while they sang 'You Do Your Buckles Up' to the tune of 'You Do The Hucklebuck'

If you like my cartoons I can draw one for you for a very reasonable fee. They're not prints, I draw each one to order. Which is nice.
