Jenny's week: It’s Bramley Apple Week – so that means risotto!

Yes folks, the next week has been dedicated to the lovely Bramley Apple. Seems a bit of an odd time, if you ask me, as it's not the beginning of the season for Bramleys but instead coming to the end of their season - but then, they're available in the shops any old time of year if you're prepared to accept Bramleys from abroad.

Jenny's week: Sugar-Free Banana & Blueberry Muffins

I bet that caught your attention, especially bearing in mind that the focus of this blog is all about the best thing I’ve eaten/cooked last week!

Jenny's week: cooking eggs the Heston way – eventually!

Because it's currently Farmhouse Breakfast Week, here's a little piece on the subject of breakfast.

Jenny's week: from Coq au vin to oranges & almonds

Now, if ever you are looking for a dish to make for that "special" meal, this is the one.

Jenny's week: a special experience at The Three Tuns

The premise of this blog being to report back on the best thing I have cooked or eaten in the last week, I have simply got to feature the completely fabulous meal we had at the Three Tuns, Bransgore, last weekend.

Jenny's week: Looking back...

I know this sort of blog post is normally done closer to New Year than at Christmas, but this time of year gets me to thinking about all that's happened over the last 12 months.

Jenny's week: easy to create deliciousness!

As you probably know by now, I’m very keen on tasty dishes that are easy to create at home.

Jenny's week: the problem that is lunchtime

Ever since I've been attempting (with ups and downs) to follow this anti-inflammatory diet by way of combating the pain of both Arthritis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica, I've had a problem with two meals - breakfast and lunch.

Jenny's Week: celery soup

I have just finished the most delicious bowl of warming, but light, cream of celery soup.

Jenny's week: even meal planning can’t save a birthday week!

It all started off so well. The Braised Pork Steaks (or Posh Porks) with their lovely rich creamy, mushroomy sauce which dances across your tongue, went down perfectly.

Jenny's week: Beef Rendang & Saag Aloo – better than a takeaway!

I'd had the recipe for the Beef Rendang, the original of which was put together by the wonderful Atul Kochhar - and who we have to thank for the inspired spicing of the dish - in my "to do" folder for some weeks. I'd been waiting for a moment when I felt brave enough to tackle it, you see.

Jenny's week: It’s that cake time of year again!

Most unusually, I’ve been baking cakes just recently.

Jenny's week: what came first, the tart or the salad?

This lovely crisp savoury Tenderstem Broccoli & Goat’s Cheese tart came into life as a suitable accompaniment for the Zesty Beetroot Salad that I wanted to make.

Jenny's week: I really like beetroot...

So when I was contacted by the “Love Beetroot” campaign about developing some recipes involving beetroot, I was really very keen to join in.

Jenny's week: Strongenough all round!

Yes, I know. Having bored you all to tears with Tenderstem Broccoli, I'm now in the process of boring you all to death about the slow cooker.

Jenny's week: welcome back, slow cooker!

As the days have suddenly become decidedly autumnal, so my thoughts have turned to beautiful dark stews, studded with fluffy dumplings.

Jenny's week: Borscht - deep purple goodness!

We had been growing a little collection of beetroots in the garden - just as an experiment and to see how they'd get on.

Jenny's week: lesson in making a roux-based sauce: Cauliflower Cheese

Following on from being beset by a sudden raving lust for Sweet 'n' Sour Pork Balls whilst at work, as a result, we wound up having a Chinese takeaway for dinner that night.
