I don’t know whether it’s down to the weather this year – very wet spring and weeks of hot and dry conditions during the middle of summer – but my curly kale is doing incredibly well. I love having it instead of cabbage to complement a roast dinner with loads of roast potatoes and parsnips and oodles of gravy It takes no more than 5 minutes to cook on the hob in a few spoonfuls of simmering water. But surely there must be more to this pretty, frilly leafed green vegetable

If you’re a strict vegetarian or aiming to “go veggie”, then you may like to know that, in all likelihood, you’re 32% less likely to suffer or die from heart disease. A recent study has proven this to be the case

Sunday was hot … very hot! Far too hot for a roast, so I had a look through my food cupboard, fridge and freezer to see what I could find which would be light but filling, tasty, effortless and perfect for supper.

I love cooking, but I can’t be doing with all that weighing out and spending hours slaving over a hot cooker so this really fitted the bill.
