Pudding, better than Bake Off says Dot. Plain Yoghurt, Plum Jam & Toasted Oats. #the5oclockapron
Loosely termed Mexican spiced rice dish made with chicken thighs, tomatoes, cumin, peppers, garlic & ancho chilli + sour cream, lime & coriander + @tabasco_uk for those in need of extra 🌶 One pot wonders, the sort of which I can literally throw together with my eyes closed, whilst reciting spellings for the 9 yr old, loading the washing machine (always so much washing 🤯) & also listening to the 6 year old read. I know I’m lucky, I’m a trained chef, I find this easy. Which is sort of why, I’m very tentatively thinking about launching a #the5oclockapron app. Watch this space, shopping & recipes all sorted, just like that, so you can cook like me, day in, day out, if you want to?💫 #app possibly....
Still no sign of my stolen notebook, wallet, handbag, stupid expensive lip balm, collapsable red ruler (v helpful for measuring things when writing recipes...) & other items since forgotten about in the depths of my green bag. So here it is, reluctantly starting a new notebook because, one week on, nobody’s called to say they’ve found my notebook in a hedge or bin. Trying to be zen, but still really really fucked off with whoever stole my bag from my car. Grrr. And breathe, in, out, in, out. #the5oclockapron #homecookeryyear
Leftover Porridge Bread. Kids had porridge for breakfast, their slops (always some with honey, butter & cream - because we had some that needed using up) thrown in a bowl together with strong bread flour, yeast, water and salt. 4 hours later, with the kitchen smelling fine, out comes this loaf from the oven, crackling and wheezing into life. Got to love a Monday morning bake. Warms up my freezing kitchen table where I am sitting and writing with about 17 cardigans on. #leftoverporridgebread #the5oclockapron @telegraphfood for the recipe.
And again, including my mum’s pickled damsons. Cooked by Matt. #the5oclockapron #sundaylunch KNOCK OUT 🤩
Duck legs cooked in Marsala Wine, Duck Fat Potatoes & roasted Vegetables (inc chestnuts and mushrooms) with Lardo & a bit of Horseradish on the Beets. Cooked by Matt. Lucky us. 🍂 🍂 🍂 #the5oclockapron #sundaylunch
Roast lamb with pardina lentils cooked with saffron & spinach & seasoned yoghurt cooked by @sam_s_r + all the kids & a potato & thyme focaccia, by me. Meanwhile @bbcstrictly with @_stacey_81 + kids, well fed, natch. #the5oclockapron #saturdaynight
