February 1, 2020 by Alison

I usually wait a few days after a cooking date before writing my blog, but I had such fun today that I can't contain myself! In fact I could hardly wait until I got home to start writing about my cooking date with Lou. Now you know I currently don't have a kitchen, which makes me seem like a beggar ...

Farm Fresh Tomato Sauce

August 7, 2017 by Alison 2 Comments

It's that time of year when I've always got a pot of sauce simmering on the stove. This past week, I made farm fresh tomato sauce three times.

Upon my return from the Algarve, I've felt myself in a race against time.
