Mussels and Scones: a Cornish spring

Mussels and Scones: a Cornish spring by Hazel Sheard

Mussels and Scones: a Cornish spring...so I got distracted. Sometime I might tell you about him. I have actually been writing a blog post, but it's very long, currently imageless, and about my confusion over Ireland and Irish history. I'll finish it at some point and post it for everyone to skip. In the mean time, spring leapt up…

What To Do With Monster.

What To Do With Monster. by Hazel Sheard

What To Do With Monster.I went on holiday for a month. It was hot and sunny in the south of France, and damp and English in London. My garden has become a jungle, and everything is a size bigger than it should be.There are mushrooms three inches across under the birch trees and clearly the homes of gnomes, a bright yellow pumpkin as…

Stew; soup.

Stew; soup. by Hazel Sheard

I'm not a soup gal. It's a thing. I never have been. Call it 'stew' and I'm there every time. I adore that stuff, more or less whatever meat or fish was used to make it. I would choose a stew almost every time over more or less any other sort of meal. Long, slow cooked meat falling into a nicely flavoured sauce, and all that.…

Bean burgers.

Bean burgers. by Hazel Sheard

Bean burgers.Apparently, I haven't posted a bean burger recipe on this blog. That must mean it's on the other one. How peculiar. Bean burgers are the apogee of vegetarian cuisine in the books of many people I know. They were certainly the most popular thing I ever made in Edinburgh when I was cooking for PGP. I think if I ever…

A recipe backlog: All Tedd's Fault.

A recipe backlog: All Tedd's Fault. by Hazel Sheard

I came online to post my Recent Experiment With Bread, because Tedd has pestered me at least 5 times in the last 36 hours for pictures of it. But when I came up upload photos from my camera, I discovered that I also had pictures for parsnip soup and for chocolate brownies. So...here is a full January lunch menu.No-Knead BreadThis is…

Success! (with pitta)

Success! (with pitta) by Hazel Sheard

Success! (with pitta)I had a marvellous weekend. Stuff went well. I cleaned, to start with. Sometimes that's a mood that takes me. The weather was beautiful. A friend came around for dinner. We went to Ikea, and even that was fun. I managed to scrounge a lift to the supermarket and didn't have to do my shopping online. I…

Green Tomato Pickle

Green Tomato Pickle by Hazel Sheard

Green Tomato PickleHmm. I just looked at the last date stamp. I guess it's partly to do with making the most of Traci not working and being home briefly before she heads back to the States at the end of the month. The blog comes second to real life sometimes.I finally came to the conclusion that tomato season was Over. It's been…

Final acceptance.

Final acceptance. by Hazel Sheard

Actually, this guy is nothing to do with anything I want to talk about. AND I think it's probably a girl, not even a guy. She's turned up three or four times in the evenings about 10ish. I wonder if her owner goes to sleep or kicks her out or something. We nearly always leave our back doors open, and she just pootles in and makes…

BACON (and the store cupboard quick supper of choice)

BACON (and the store cupboard quick supper of choice) by Hazel Sheard

I was given this book for my birthday 3 months ago by my friend Martin, with whom I lived for about half of last year. He's the most foodie of any of my friends, including those who work in kitchens. We like Martin, he's ace. He'd been given a copy himself the Christmas before and had noted quite how much I read it and decided I…

Pistachio petit-four cake.

Pistachio petit-four cake. by Hazel Sheard

I have had a fascination with this cake for some considerable number of months. I've been wanting to make it and wanting to make it and wanting to make for AGES. I very much love Deb's Smitten Kitchen blog - so much so that I pre-ordered her cookbook the day it came out and I'm waiting with bated breath for it to show up. In the…
