A family gathering today with Victoria and Noah and James and Kathryn coming over - I love being surrounded by those I love

Back to work today and so we decided on a gorgeous comforting bowl of spicy noodles to ease our way back

Spaghetti vongole tonight, a wonderful quick meal

Chicken and lime leaf curry with noodles from the Ottolenghi Comfort

A thick gorgeous pork chop with gnocchi in a creamy mustard sauce

My first attempt at bagels. The overall look is not as polished as it should be but overall they tasted fantastic.

Another Ottolenghi recipe, nasi goreng

Lockdown food memories today, firstly with a Dominic Ansel recipe and secondly with stroganoff

A gorgeous beef, black garlic and baharat pie from Ottolengi’s Comfort

A minestrone soup recipe turned into a very lovely, very delicious vegetarian pasts dish

Spanikopita risotto from Greekish, just don’t scrimp on the cheese

A gorgeous beef and orzo stew with grated halloumi, rich comforting and delicious

A chilli topped with cornbread, comforting, warming and filling, just what is needed on cold days

Tonight we were helping Victoria prep for Noah’s birthday tomorrow

We have finally signed off our falafels and tonight had them as burgers
