I’m not much of a carrot-fancier and I generally avoid those bags of ready peeled baby carrots that resemble Oompa-Loompa body parts. Then I came across a recipe by my culinary hero, Nigel Slater, for baby spring carrots; carrots that … Continue reading
Recipe: Moroccan Spiced Lamb with Apricots
There’s something wonderfully satisfying about tender chunks of lamb that have been cooked slowly for a few hours with no more than some finely chopped onion, fresh ginger, dried apricots and a sprinkle of aromatic spices. The apricots are added … Continue reading
