Cooking again!

I cook a lot, from scratch, sometimes with not many ingredients.

 Sometimes it can turn out funny - I think this loaf I made is having a laugh!

Sometimes it's biscuits made from a recipe found on Bosworth Field 

and passed down the ages.

Having friends round for Christmas tea with home made sausage rolls biscuits and cake.

 Sometimes it's a commemorative cake for Richard III

Or a 17th C summer picnic on a Sealed Knot camp 

with sweets of the period called "orange drops"

 

Finally banquet fayre, Lob Lolly castle, liquorice sticks to chew, Brie and puddings.

 

I grow herbs, fruit and veg, this year a little slim because of the rain, but rhubarb is already bright red and jolly, I have jammed last years blueberries, strawberries and plums.

Lavender, sage, chives, bay I hope will survive, looking for a house with a bigger garden.

 

I must do a recipe book, been meaning to do one for years,  perhaps now is the time.
