“Probably a super crispy schnitzel. Followed by a peach pie with mountains of whipped cream.”
“It doesn’t get better than the humble wooden spoon.”
“As you’d probably expect: butter, sugar and eggs. It’s incredible what you can make with just those three ingredients.”
“Honestly? Bake.”
“It varies greatly with the season. But one that I’ve returned to time and time again is Green Cannelini and Tahini from Shelf Love. It’s super simple and a great part of a mezze spread or with a roast chicken. Yum.”
“Buttery, flaky pastry.”
