For Starters



Yes, it's that time of year again. We have moved me to France, cats are installed on the bed, a few days of acclimatisation have passed and the Stripey male has taken the boat home. So naturally, on this rather cold and lonely first day by myself here comes the Savoury Rice.

It really is cold, I've been wearing a thick coat all day, indoors and out but the slow start to the growing season here means I can redeem this unwholesome and predictable initial meal for myself by some foraging for a handful of hop shoots to enliven the mix. Still to come on the forager's calendar nettles, hog weed and sorrel, but they are for another day.

Must get on and do that meal plan for next week.
