This pudding is an old-fashioned British classic recipe and is a great way to transform the remains of a stale loaf into a delicious and comforting dish.

Apple Scones With Blueberry Compote
By Mike on Saturday, November 20, 2010, 21:35
These moist and crumbly apple scones are delicious just split and buttered, or spread with jam.

Whole Clementine Marmalade (Syrup - Preserved Clementines)
By Mike on Saturday, November 20, 2010, 21:13
These clementines are cooked and preserved in a spiced syrup, making a sort of marmalade, but with the fruit left completely whole and intact. They look fantastic in the jar - and the flavour is superbly intense and aromatic.

By Mike on Saturday, October 9, 2010, 20:05
I think this might be the most excited I've ever been about a fungus - and it isn't even edible - so what's going on? Well, it's a bit special, because it's big, strange-looking, and really quite uncommon - it's called Podoscypha multizonata - the Zoned Rosette.
