Fresh horseradish

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

I can’t find fresh horseradish in Cheltenham at all.
Pretty stupid really, our national dish is roast beef and we can’t even buy fresh horseradish in a supermarket. Annoying.
If anyone knows where to buy it let me know

Parsley

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

I love using parsley as a salad leaf.
Just made a small salad / salsa with lots of chopped fresh tomato and a big bunch of parsely. Olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Parsley and lemon work so well together.

Jamie Olivers polenta recipe.

Monday, October 17th, 2005

This was the recipe he did for polenta on Richard and Judy.
I am not a big fan of polenta. And to be honest I was a bit disappointed again. It was ok but I think I over salted it a little.
We had it as a base then a piece of grilled salmon and tomatoes […]

Made them this morning. Very tasty.
I am not a great baker at all! But muffins aren’t too hard. Not good for you though
